The Defender Series

3-models: 510, 520, 530+

  • Durability. All DryCal calibrators are field-proven and have provided IH professionals with reliable performance for decades. 
  • Real-time flow data. Calibrator flow data is captured in real-time with our DryCal Pro software, directly uploaded to a PC, and exported to a Microsoft environment. 
  • Convenient mail-in factory calibration. An annual NIST-traceable calibration by Mesa’s ISO-accredited facility provides a defensible audit trail and full refurbishment.
