Swiss manufacturer Kistler has created a new melt pressure measuring system, featuring a calibrated sensor and amplifier and designed for use in injection moulding machines and hot runner systems.

The sensor’s temperature resistant, piezo-resistive measuring element means it can be placed directly in the flow of material. It is very precise, with repeatability errors of <0.1%, linearity errors of <0.5% and zero point change of <0.5%, says Kistler.

The Type 4021A is available for pressures ranges up to 3,000 bar at a maximum operating temperature of 350°C.
