Ideal for environmental atmospheric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity acquisition, this sensor features an aluminum probe that protects against harsh conditions. Moreover, this calibratable ±0.18°F (±0.1°C) accuracy sensor works with the instrument in virtual COM port mode, and the USB port makes it usable in minutes.

The PTH450 allows for the acquisition of temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure data in a harmonized manner, thanks to its advanced electronics. As a member of the PTH series, it stands out as the most robust, with its anodized aluminum-coated probe capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 257°F (125°C). The compact aluminum probe makes it easy to install in confined spaces, and the integrated filtration membrane provides additional protection against dust.
Furthermore, the probe cable is coated with silicone, making it highly resistant to heat, chemicals, UV radiation, and mechanical stress.
Like all Dracal measurement instruments, the PTH450 works with free software tools, making it an integral part of a DAQ (Data Acquisition) solution. For those looking to integrate the PTH450 into their system, command-line tools and VCP (Virtual COM Port) mode are two possible options. For those who prefer a graphical interface, DracalView is highly recommended.
