Frequently Asked Questions

What temperatures can the KD-1925 operate in?

The KD-1925 operates from -320°F to +1000°F continuously, and up to +1200°F short term. It is calibrated for either the cryogenic range (-320°F to +77°F) or the high-temperature range (+77°F to +1000°F).

What pressure can the KD-1925 withstand?

The KD-1925 is rated to 5000 psi, the highest pressure rating in the KMM Extreme Environment sensor line. The KD-1950 and KD-1975 are rated to 3500 psi.

What is the difference between the KD-1925 and KD-1925M?

The KD-1925M is designed for magnetic targets and has a measuring range of 0.035 inch (0.9 mm). The standard KD-1925 has a measuring range of 0.050 inch (1.27 mm).

What electronics does the KD-1925 use?

The KD-1925 uses KDM-8206 signal conditioning electronics, available in single-channel and multi-channel rack-mountable configurations.

What applications is the KD-1925 used for?

Typical applications include nuclear reactors, steam and gas turbines, turbine and rocket engines, chemical processes, research projects, and high-temperature processing.

What mounting options are available?

The KD-1925 is available in a 5/16-24 thread mount or a flange mount with a smooth body. CAD files for both are available in the 3D Models downloads.
