How many times have you gone to the refrigerator for a glass of milk only to find it has spoiled? How about that classic car you want to drive, just to find the battery dead and tires flat? These are just two examples of how inadequate storage and lack of periodic inspections can significantly alter experiences. Your pressure gauge needs to be stored in a manner that ensures it’s in working order when you’re ready to use it. If not, it could end up damaged or out of calibration.

High-purity applications require a particular type of pressure gauge to ensure accuracy, safety and repeatability. The materials from which it’s made and its safety features must be specialized for demanding environments. Do you have the right high-purity pressure gauge for your process? Do you need enough space to have multiple devices measuring your process? Ashcroft’s newly released HPS high-purity pressure gauge with reed switch might be right for you. This article will describe the features of this new gauge and how it can help keep your application, and business, running.

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.

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.
