Selection Guide
Analog vs Digital
Analog gauges for simple single-point monitoring. Digital displays for precision, data logging, or alarm requirements.
Alarm Configuration
Specify high-pressure alarm setpoints based on equipment pressure rating minus 15-20% safety margin.
Thermocouple Selection
K-type for most extruder zone applications. J-type for lower temperature ranges. Verify controller input type before ordering.
Rupture Disc Sizing
Disc burst pressure must be set at or below maximum allowable working pressure of protected equipment. Consult equipment documentation.
