Back to Melt Pressure Transducer Introduction

Melt Pressure Transducer Configurations


Rigid Stem Transducer
This melt pressure transducer is specifically designed for accuracy, stability, and repeatability. It can have a 1.0% or 0.5% combined error, performance that equals or exceeds any other strain gauge melt pressure transducer on the market today.
This model converts applied pressure at the point of measurement to a proportional voltage output signal using well established bonded strain gauge design principles. The small capillary tube filled with a special medium isolates sensitive strain gauges and electronics from potential thermal damage. The rigid stem makes installation fast and easy.

 

Flexible Armor Tubing Transducer
This model offers all the advantages of the rigid stem transducer, but incorporates an 18-inch flexible capillary tubing with a stainless steel armored jacket between the strain gauge housing and the stem.
This transducer is designed for applications requiring further thermal isolation or where installation would be otherwise difficult or impractical.

 

Pressure and Temperature Transducer
This model provides simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature at a single point. Only one transducer mount is required for installation.
The temperature probe is protected from process hazards and can be replaced without interrupting the pressure signal. Pressure performance is identical to previous models.
