Selection Guide
Selecting the right indicator is a simple process. Start with your shipment size and weight. The selection guide provides a starting point for sensitivity selection. The indicator best suited to your application will also take into account product fragility and packaging. More fragile products may require a more sensitive (lower G) indicator while products with more robust packaging may need a less sensitive (higher G) indicator.
