Your business depends on reliable, accurate and safe pressure measurements and instruments to keep running smoothly. Some pressure gauges even offer safety features to ensure that your workers are protected from harm.

Industries such as food/beverage, paint applications, pharmaceutical and biotech have strict sanitary requirements to ensure that their products are manufactured in a clean and safe environment. Therefore, the pressure measuring instruments used in these applications must meet the same sanitary requirements.

Not all pressure gauges are created equal. They vary by size, material, cost, range and other features. But for those looking for a small, economical option that still offers the advanced features of a larger gauge, Ashcroft’s new 8008S pressure gauge could be the top choice for you.

Did you know that your pressure gauge can lose accuracy over time? No gauge can stay completely accurate forever. You need to regularly check the gauge’s accuracy to ensure it continues to provide correct readings for your application.

Semiconductor applications require specialized equipment to handle gas applications and the corrosive fluids involved in wafer manufacturing and plating processing. Reliability and safety are crucial characteristics for pressure measuring instruments in these situations. So, what is the best type of pressure gauge to use for the corrosive fluids in the semiconductor industry?

Pressure gauges can be found in virtually every industry. Depending on your application, these instruments play an important role in measuring the air, gas or liquid pressure in your system to keep it running safely and smoothly. However, for optimum efficiency, you will need to make sure the pressure range you choose for your gauge aligns with your application requirements and a few other factors. Ashcroft has been in the pressure gauge business for more than a century and a half, so following the guidelines in this article can save you time and give you confidence in your purchasing decision. Read on to learn about the factors to consider when choosing the pressure range for your gauge. Then, when you are done, we will share additional information about pressure gauge selection that you can use as a reference.
