Pressure sensors

MDA420 | 422 | TDA432 - Melt pressure sensors in design with rigid stem, flexible capillary and Combined sensor with rigid stem, flexible stem and built-in temperature sensor

MDA 420 | 422 | TDA 432

MDA 420 is a sensor with an accuracy of ±0.25% of the total range, which are ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, easy installation, repeatability and reliability. These sensors provide an industry standard with a 3.33 mV / V output signal that is designed to work with most pressure indicators and regulators. The MDA 420 is equipped with an 6-pin Bendix connector and optional thermocouples or RTD configurations available for melt temperature measurement (TDA models). The sensors are equipped with a 1/2-20 "UNF thread for installation in standard mounting holes and can be supplied with a number of other connectors and connections.

All sensors in this series can be configured according to your needs. Contact us, we will be happy to help you.

Dynisco Melt Pressure Sensors

MDA 420 | 422 | TDA 432

A grouped melt pressure sensor family covering rigid stem, flexible capillary, and combined pressure-and-temperature configurations for polymer melt processing.

High Accuracy, Simple Installation, Repeatability and Reliability

The Dynisco MDA 420 | 422 | TDA 432 family is designed for accurate melt pressure measurement in extrusion, injection molding, polymer processing, and other high-temperature industrial applications. The range provides a proven 3.33 mV/V output signal for use with compatible pressure indicators and control systems.

This grouped product page covers the main configuration options within the family. The MDA 420 is used where a rigid stem construction is suitable, the MDA 422 adds a flexible capillary for improved thermal isolation and installation flexibility, and the TDA 432 combines melt pressure measurement with an integrated temperature measurement option.

MDA 420 Rigid stem melt pressure sensor for standard mounting positions where the electronics are not exposed to excessive radiant heat.
MDA 422 Rigid stem with flexible capillary for installations requiring improved thermal separation or easier positioning of the sensor head.
TDA 432 Combined pressure and temperature configuration with thermocouple or RTD options for melt temperature measurement.

Application and Installation

Rigid stem sensors are suitable for robust and direct installation into the mounting hole of the production line. Where radiant heat from the process may affect the electronics, a flexible capillary configuration can help move the sensor head away from the heat source and support longer service life.

The standard process connection is 1/2-20 UNF for installation in standard transducer mounting holes. Depending on the required configuration, optional connection variants such as M18 x 1.5 may also be specified.

Materials and Performance

Wetted parts are made from 15-5 PH stainless steel with DyMax® coating. The sensor family supports pressure ranges up to 30,000 psi / 2000 bar, with a maximum diaphragm temperature of 400°C and a maximum housing temperature of 120°C. Internal 80% shunt calibration supports practical setup and verification during operation.

For best configuration accuracy, verify the required pressure range, stem length, capillary length, process thread, electrical connector, and temperature option before ordering.
