VD81 Compact Vacuum Meter ● Piezo ● 1600 to 1 mbar
€ 435.00 excl. VAT and transport costs
The versatile VD81 digital vacuum meter with data logger and USB interface measures absolute pressure in the rough vacuum range with a resistant Piezo sensor.
Overview VD81 Piezo vacuum meter
- Chemically resistant: Chemically resistant ceramic sensor with FKM sealing, suitable for rough industry environment
- Robust: Insensitive against contamination
- Fast: Adjustable min. logging rate of 50 ms for fast processes, e. g. for the area of vacuum packaging
- Versatile: Gas-type independent measurement
Overview VD8 vacuum meters:
- Variable: VD8 compact vacuum meters can be used as a portable instrument or for permanent installation in vacuum facilities. The gauges can be operated by a battery or a plugin power supply
- Data logger: Integrated data logger for up to 2000 measurement values
- Flexible connection: VD8 vacuum meters can be placed directly into a vacuum chamber, connected to an appliance with their flange or with a suitable adaptor
- Min/Max memory function: Storage of minimum and maximum pressures achieved during measurement
- Long battery livetime: Due to cycled measurements, the compact vacuum meter reaches a high battery lifetime; the user can choose between automatic switch off (time adjustable) for battery saving or continuous operation
- Pressure units: mbar, Torr, hPa
- Data export: USB interface for easy push button data transfer to PCs, but no PC connection is necessary during measurements
- VacuGraphTM Windows Software: To visualize, analyze and save measurements on a PC (lite version free of charge)

What is the Min/Max memory feature? Extreme values (minimum and maximum pressure) recorded during the measurement process are stored directly in the instrument and can be shown on the display when the measurement is complete. |
Is it possible to place a VD8 compact vacuum meter directly into the vacuum for measuring? Yes, our VD8 compact vacuum meters can be directly placed into a vacuum chamber. With their data logger functionality the measurements are stored and can be sent to a PC for evaluation, when the measurement is complete. |
What happens with the instruments’ parameters or stored data when the battery is changed? A memory chip, which works independent from a battery, is used for storage of measurements and the instruments’ parameters. However, the extreme values (Min/Max memory) will be lost when the battery is changed. |
Is the battery included in the shipment? Yes, the fitting battery is included in the initial shipment. VD8 can also used with a plug-in power supply (optional accessessory). |
What battery types are suitable for VD8 compact vacuum meters? We recommend 9 V alkaline batteries. Alternatively, 9 V lithium batteries or 9 V rechargeable batteries can be used. Zinc coal batteries are not suitable for the VD8, due to its high internal resistance. |
How often do I need to recalibrate the compact vacuum meter? The period between calibrations depends on the specific application. Especially in cases of coatings and contaminations on the sensor-head or if it is used in extreme temperature conditions, readjust of the instrument can be neccessary. For quality assurance matters, we recommend to return the instrument for calibration every one or two years. We can offer a works calibration (article no. ADJCERT) or a DAkkS calibration (article no. DKDCERT). |
Do I have to mount the instrument into a specific position? The instruments can be mounted in every position. The best accuracy is achieved if the flange of the instrument is mounted horizontally because the instruments are calibrated in this position. It is not recommended to mount the sensor at the bottom of a pipe as condensate and dirt could be collected in the sensor cell. |
What possibilities for data storage are available with VD8? Up to 2000 measurements can be stored in the instrument and sent to a PC when the measurement is complete with the integrated data logger. Alternatively, the data can be sent and evaluated with the PC during the measuring process (online measurement). |
What is the function “Data logging at measurement change” used for? To optimally use the memory, especially for long term measurements, the VD8 offers the function “Data logging at measurement change”. Measurements are only logged if the pressure changes, thus, reducing the amount of insignificant data. |
Is the VacuGraph® software required for using a VD8 compact vacuum meter? The VacuGraph® software is an useful accessory for the most efficient use of our vacuum meters. It serves for the communication between a PC and vacuum meter. So you can e.g. transfer the measurements stored in the data logger to a PC for evaluation or you can change parameters like the sample rate comfortable in the configuration board of the software. |
