GP:50 Plastic Melt Pressure Kits
Measure Plastic Melt Pressure in Extruders & Injection Molders
GP:50 Classic Melt Pressure Kit with Model 30 Melt Pressure Transducer and Model 1211 Melt Pressure Indicator.
The GP:50 product line of plastic melt pressure transducers and transmitters is based on the proven bonded strain gage principle successfully utilized in thousands of applications. Our unique design incorporates a heavier sensor allowing a thicker tip diaphragm, provides better linearity, and reduces costs.

The design incorporates an extremely small capillary tubing that transmits the media pressure to the strain gage sensor and mating electronics via a mechanical fill fluid. (Mercury is the standard, Silicone oil, Mineral oil and Nak are readily available depending on the application).

GP:50 Melt-Kits come with everything you need for efficient and reliable extrusion pressure measurement. Melt-Kits include transducer, cable, indicator and more.
