Hose
Designed for both pressure and vacuum use, NEWFLEX(R)PVC hose comes in light-, standard-, and heavy-duty versions. A hard PVC spiral reinforcement lets the hose resist crushing and kinking while remaining flexible. Because the spiral is within the hose wall or on the outside surface, the transparent tubing's interior is smooth for maximum flow. ID ranges from 3/8 inch (light duty) to 4 inches (standard and heavy duty).

Accelerometer
Users can change the scale factor and range of the Model SR-107VFR angular accelerometer for optimum accuracy and readout match. Changing an external resistor adjusts the measurement range from plus or minus 1 to plus or minus 100 radians/sec2. The devices employ force balance fluid rotor technology to reject linear acceleration and produce high-level, stable output.
