In semiconductor applications, your pressure instrumentation needs to stand up to the conditions as well as meet high-purity standards and regulations. Ashcroft's line of fluoropolymer pressure transducers provides reliable pressure measurements for your semiconductor applications. How do you know which of these transducers is the right one for your application? This blog will compare Ashcroft’s ZL91, ZL92 and ZL95 pressure transducers and discuss their features and benefits to help you find the best solution for your needs.

Your low-pressure transducer is an important part of your HVAC, critical environment, clean room or pharmaceutical application. Strict requirements for safety and sanitation need accurate and reliable pressure measurements. In some installations, the pressure transducer is required to be located at a certain distance away from the pressure source. But what if the transducer is located far away from the pressure source? What effect can the length of pressure tubing have on your pressure readings?

Harsh applications and environments call for equipment that can meet particular demands. For these types of demands required by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Ashcroft is excited to announce the release of the S1 pressure transducer. Designed for large-volume manufacturing, the new Ashcroft S1 is a high-quality pressure transducer at an economical cost that is available with quick lead times. Specially made for applications that include mobile hydraulics, performance racing, agriculture and refrigeration, the S1 is a reliable solution for harsh environments.

Your pressure sensor is a vital component of your equipment or system. When properly specified your system will operate safely and to expected performance levels over the design life of the system or equipment, but only if you have the right sensor that’s appropriate for your application. The wrong pressure sensor can result in equipment damage, worker injury or out-of-specification measurements. So, how can you ensure you choose the right one?

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are a critical part of a building’s operation. They ensure that an indoor environment is comfortable for occupants by controlling humidity, temperature and air quality. However, the cost of running these systems can be a concern for building owners as inefficiencies in an HVAC system could increase building management costs, especially if the pressure sensors used to monitor and control the system are not accurate.

Pressure transducers can be used in many challenging environments where they may be exposed to extreme temperatures but are expected to operate reliably and predictably. These challenging temperature exposures can come from a few sources such as the surrounding environment (ambient temperature), radiation (sunlight), or the temperature of the process media being measured (media temperature).
