(Kistler: Novi, MI) -- Kistler, a global supplier of precision sensors, systems, and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque and acceleration, has introduced the Type 4021B industrial melt pressure measuring chain. The chain is expressly designed for the simultaneous recording of short duration pressure peaks to 3,000 bar (29,000 psi) and of temperatures to 350°C (662°F), in support of a variety of plastics injection-molding requirements.

With next-generation product enhancements that include choice of either voltage or current output, the robust design of the Type 4021B builds on the field-proven success of its predecessor model, the Type 4021A, incorporating a melt pressure sensor with abrasion-resistant, stainless-steel diaphragm and integral amplifier. The integral amplifier is expressly designed to match the sensor for superior measurement accuracy. Type 4021B is offered in multiple shank lengths and angular configurations, as well as pressure ranges, with choice of integral or removable cable in varying lengths.
