A new version of the Impact melt pressure sensor has been developed by Gefran to comply with international extruder safety standards. The new version features "smart" electronics for self-diagnostic detection of exceedences of pressure presets. The new sensor can withstand static or near-static and dynamic pressures up to 3,500 bar and the technology with silicon piezoresistive primary element enables its use at temperatures up to 35°C without filling fluids.
