CT-5451 — 450K configuration

Lab Manager's Tip

The automatic closed-loop control is the major advantage over a basic manually controlled compression machine. For laboratories running large numbers of cylinders, automatic loading and digital test control can improve consistency between operators while simplifying test documentation.
