The following points are to be considered wile selecting a pressure switch for any process operation:

- The process operating pressure
- The maximum process pressure
- The process pipeline vibration
- The maximum working pressure of the pressure switch should be times greater then the maximum operating pressure
- The micro switch contact rating
- Process connection
- Local or remote mounting
