The TSD137 series pneumotachs can perform a variety of small animal pulmonary measurements relating to airflow, lung volume and expired gas analysis. Each TSD137 series transducer type consists of a low flow, pneumotach head coupled to a precision, highly sensitive, differential pressure transducer. The TSD137 series pneumotachs will connect directly to a breathing circuit or plethysmogram chamber. For airflow and lung volume measurements, connect a short airflow cannula to the TSD137 series flow head. For switchable or replacement head options, see the RX137 Series.
All of the TSD137 series pneumotachs come equipped with an internal heating element that can be optionally attached to the AC137A 6-volt power supply.
