(Kistler: Novi, MI) --  Kistler, a global supplier of precision sensors, systems, and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque, and acceleration, has announced the North American market introduction of the Type 2516B, a rugged, handheld engine peak meter, designed to support the balancing and diagnostics of large natural gas, marine, and diesel-engine cylinder pressure cycles at speeds of up to 4,000 RPM with immediate on-site data evaluation and reliable, time-based combustion-pressure measurement capabilities. Units are typically available from stock for immediate shipment.

Building on the success of its legacy model, the Type 2516A, this latest version maintains the same simple, user-friendly design for ease of portability, along with the added benefits of a USB communication port, rechargeable battery and charging station, and a rugged waterproof case. The included data evaluation software allows for a graphical analysis of recorded peak pressure and plotted average pressure curves, with “as found”/“as left” peak pressure results easily downloaded via USB.
