NaK FILLED MELT PRESSURE TRANDUCERS
K3 SERIES mV/V output
The K3 Series are for use in high temperature applications
where the process temperatures may reach 538°C
(1000°F) such as high temperature engineered polymers.
The K Series utilizes standard melt pressure principles
and construction, but uses a near incompressible NAK
(Sodium Potassium) for pressure transmission.
The K Series strain sensing technology is bonded foil
strain gage.
