Their temperature-compensated, dual-spring mechanism allows them to be used in hospitals and laboratories in any part of the world, regardless of humidity and work space restrictions.

One dials reads clockwise, the other counter clockwise. The dial features easy-to-read bold, black numbers with graduations and a contrasting red pointer. Two brass dashpots help eliminate pointer oscillation and ensure accurate, stable readings. A stainless steel pinion and bronze rack combination further ensures low friction performance, even in elevated temperatures.
