Dynisco Vertex™ Melt Pressure Sensor Series, mercury free
Vertex™ is a Dynisco melt pressure sensor innovation that matches or exceeds the performance of the traditional sensor. The big differences are that Vertex is more robust, much faster, and significantly friendlier to the environment.
The breakthrough technology lies at the tip of the sensor, where melt pressure is registered directly through a single, more robust diaphragm. Direct measurement eliminates errors that can arise in sensors with complicated internal structures, transmission fluids and moving push rods. The Vertex diaphragm is much thicker than those in other sensors and is made of tough Inconel 718 alloy, which provides a higher level of corrosion resistance than stainless steel. For added protection, the tip is coated with a diamond-hardened DyMax® coating. The sensor walls have been fortified to handle side stresses. With all these features, Vertex is the true definition of a robust sensor, proven to deliver long life and a low cost of ownership.
