New Ruggedized DV-6S Tube
The new DV-6S Tube has been designed for rigorous
vibration and shock applications. This new gauge tube is
specifically designed for outdoor use on cryogenic tanks
including railcar and tanker truck applications. The gauge
tube is compatible with other Hastings products, but
specifically the handheld HPM-4/6. The tube is designed
for the 0 - 1000 mTorr range, the standard DV-6 range.
Please contact the factory for any other connection.
DV-6S w/ Protective Cap

The tubes have been tested for for a number of key characteristics. Testing for mechanical
shock: MIL-STD-202 Method 213 (>2000g, 6 msec duration), random vibration: MILSTD-202 Method 214 (23.9 grms), and sinusoidal vibration: MIL-STD-202 Method 204
(30g at 3000 Hz) have shown this gauge tube to be well suited for the severe environments
encountered in many applications.
The DV-6S is supplied with a protective cap. The o-ring-sealed cap protects the gauge
tube pins from moisture thus significantly reducing corrosion. A metal lanyard prevents
cap loss. The tube is provided with a standard 1/8" NPT fitting, however special fitting
requests can often be met.
