18、.Use a 2000#sensor.2.Use more than 10%of the usable range for an individual sensor:i.e.Expected plastic psi should generate more than 50#for a 500#sensor.Note:RJG also has a selection of flush mount sensors for applicationswhere an under-the-pin sensor is not practical.Refer to chart on next page272
