The Salamander

Metrol’s new Ultra High Temperature/High Pressure Quartz Crystal electronic memory gauge is “The Salamander” No other precision electronic gauge exceeds the capabilities of “The Salamander” when operating successfully in problematic wells with extreme temperature conditions. “The Salamander” is a robust, electronic memory gauge with quartz crystal accuracy and excellent resolution.

The 401ºF (205ºC) operating capability ensures “The Salamander” is the “solution”.
