IP Ratings for Pressure Transmitters: How to Specify
How to spec the right IP rating for a pressure transmitter: the two digits, the IP68 depth caveat, IP-vs-NEMA crosswalk, IP69K washdown, and where water gets in.

Pressure transmitter types is four axes: reference, sensing, output, certification. 12 worked examples and a 6-step selection workflow.
NPT (60° tapered, ASME B1.20.1) and G/BSPP (55° parallel, ISO 228-1) are not interchangeable. Standards reference, size equivalence, and 3-step thread ID.
