Dickson DT10 Cryo-Temperature Chart Recorder -100C to -20C 7-Day 120V 60Hz

Dickson DT10 Cryo-Temperature Chart Recorder -100C to -20C 7-Day 120V 60Hz

The Dickson DT10 is a wall-mounted circular chart recorder designed for continuous cryogenic temperature monitoring. It uses a copper capillary tube and bulb sensor to measure ambient temperatures in the -100°C to -20°C range, recording readings mechanically on a 10-inch circular chart over a full 7-day cycle. Manufactured by The Dickson Company of Addison, Illinois, the DT10 is an all-mechanical, line-powered instrument that requires no batteries or external data logger.

Applications

Circular chart recorders like the Dickson DT10 are standard instruments for continuous temperature documentation in cryogenic and ultra-low temperature environments. They are commonly used to monitor ultra-low freezers, cryogenic storage vessels, and cold rooms where temperatures fall below -40°C — environments typical in biomedical research, pharmaceutical storage, blood banks, and clinical laboratories. The mechanical capillary-tube design requires no electronics in the sensing element, making it well-suited to harsh cold environments. The 7-day chart provides a continuous paper record that satisfies regulatory documentation requirements in FDA-regulated and ISO-compliant facilities. The Dickson Company has produced chart recorders for industrial and laboratory temperature monitoring since the mid-twentieth century, and the DT10 wall-mount format was widely adopted in laboratory and cold-storage settings from the 1970s through the 1990s. Replacement charts for Dickson 10-inch 7-day recorders remain available from laboratory supply distributors.
