DEWPOINTER
H
ERE'S an entirely new w a y to measure d e w point! It's the Alnor Dewpointer— precision-built unit with all the speed and accuracy you'd expect of a true instrument! Operating on a unique principle, the D e w pointer eliminates disadvantages inherent in other less precise methods—including inconsistent readings between two or more observers, the need for external coolants, inability to be used a w a y from the source of the gas to be tested, etc. Simple, compact, sturdy, the Dewpointer is available in two ranges—for d e w points between minus 2 0 F. and room temperature and from minus 1 0 0 F. to 0 F. EXCLUSIVE ALNOR ADVANTAGES *
No external c o o l a n t required! True ability and convenience.
*
D e w or f o g is o b s e r v e d suspended in air—not o n a polished surface! T w o or more observers get s a m e accurate results!
