Sensor measures mould cavity pressure indirectly
Cavity pressure is usually measured with the sensor fitted directly in the mould cavity, but Kistler's new PinSens force sensor type 9204 is ideal for indirect cavity pressure measurement
The gold plating resists attack by process media with high concentrations of corrosive gases, including hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide, ethylene and chloride.
This sensor is characterised by excellent process capability and long service life.
For example, the K-line pressure transmitter can be used to monitor the safety of cylinder compressors for corrosive media in the process industry continuously, reliably and precisely over long periods of time.
By quickly detecting defects, process monitoring minimises downtime and maintenance costs and maintains product quality in complex processes.
The process connections and signal outputs of the K-line pressure transmitter can be customised to meet specific customer requirements.
