The actual pressure sensing element within the gauge head PRG20K - NW16 is a tungsten filament. The PRG gauge heads PRG20K - DN16CF and PRG20KCR - NW16 are made of stainless steel with a welded ceramics feed-through. The sensing element within the PRG20K - NW16 is a tungsten filament, whereas the PRG20KCR - NW16 uses a platinum filament.
D0300020001EN - Description Unpacking and Checking Unpack the PRG gauge head immediately after delivery, even if it is to be installed at a later date. Retain the packaging materials in the event of complaints about damage. Carefully examine the visually. If any damage is discovered, report it immediately to the forwarding agent and insurer.
