B2A Portable
The B2A Portable is a small, battery-powered, portable vacuum controller (also called vacuum controller, vacuum pressure regulator, or digital vacuum meter). It is designed for use with 2A thermocouple measuring devices (Pirani). This vacuum pressure regulator has a measuring range of 1*10-3 Torr (1 micron) to 20 Torr (20.0000 microns) and an analog display (oscillating needle) that displays in microns (mTorr).

Description
The portability of this vacuum controller makes it ideal for cryogenic and industrial gas applications where the vacuum controller needs to be carried to different (sometimes mobile) tanks to take vacuum measurements on the vacuum insulation or vacuum jacket. The B2A Portable has an analogue display (oscillating needle). However, if you are looking for a portable vacuum controller with digital display, we also have the VacuGuard™ Portable Vacuum Controller.
