Automated Pressure Control System

The APP Automated Pressure Control System (APCS) provides precise pressure generation and control from atmospheric pressure to 5000 PSI (pneumatic system) and to 60,000 PSI (hydraulic system). The APCS is completely microprocessor controlled and fully automated - the system allows user-defined multiple target pressures, holding times, and pressurization rates. The APCS can be incorporated into an already existing larger system, or operate independently.
