Webtec to showcase third-generation DHT

Webtec, global specialist manufacturers of hydraulic measurement and control products, will use Hillhead 2024 to showcase the third generation of their class-leading DHT digital hydraulic tester designed to assist hydraulic technicians with reactive, proactive, and preventive maintenance.

Measuring flow, pressure, and temperature, the DHT has a built-in loading valve to simulate load. The rugged tool – a workhorse of the hydraulic testing arena – features a number of key improvements to enhance both its robustness and ease of use when checking the performance of hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, and hydrostatic transmissions.

To meet the growing demand from customers operating in extremely dusty and wet environments, the DHT-series portable tester now offers a protection rating to IP65.

The DHT has enhanced display functionality, which is almost three times larger than the previous-generation model, presenting easier-to-read flow digits. In addition, users can select their preferred engineering units via convenient panel buttons.

Other additional improvements include the introduction of a battery power gauge (low power consumption means the DHT provides 230h of continuous use per 9V battery), a service interval reminder, internal temperature monitoring for sensitive components, and an operational limit warning (LED) when measuring high-temperature fluids up to 120°C.
