DatasheetDynisco PT46X5 Pressure Sensors with Voltage Output
The Dynisco PT46X5 series is designed for general-purpose melt pressure measurement in plastics processing and extrusion applications. These sensors provide simple installation, high repeatability and reliable voltage output signals for connection to DCS and PLC control systems.
PT46X5 pressure sensors feature adjustable zero and span potentiometers for adaptation to specific process conditions. Optional thermocouple or RTD versions are available for simultaneous temperature measurement. The standard 1/2-20 UNF process connection allows installation in common transducer mounting holes.
