Oil And Gas – Upstream, Mid-Stream & DownstreamOil & Gas

Typically, Ashcroft instruments are divided by their application into three categories: 1) industrial and life 2) food and beverage 3) medical services.

Within these areas, there are more specific industries and applications to choose from. All of which is designed to make selecting the correct pressure gauge as simple as possible.

Ashcroft pressure gauges and process instruments are designed to perform in harsh conditions and are often deployed in the the wellhead, offshore rig and shale field – this includes NACE compliant gauges, seals and SIL 3 capable switches.

Ashcroft provide pre-assembled gauges instrument/diaphragm seal combinations to ensure that corrosive caustics will not threaten any operation or personnel.

Within many industries, Ashcroft products provide filtration, pressure, flow and level measurement all requiring precise, continuous monitoring and control whilst also overcoming corrosive media, effluents, solids, vibration and pulsation. Constantly providing accurate measurements that prevent unplanned shutdowns and dangerous conditions.

Power IndustryPower

Within the power industry, Ashcroft pressure gauges are used to help meet the demand for low energy prices, green energy production and a consistent, reliable service. The range of pressure measurement instruments have been developed to help sustain a power plant that is clean burning, efficient and in continuous service.

Ashcroft pressure gauges can monitor pressure levels in harsh environments and control pressure under the most extreme conditions. In hazardous area locations, safety is assured with Ashcroft explosion proof pressure switches certified to international hazardous Class/Division/Zone classifications.

MetaLs, Minerals And Mining IndustryMining

Within the mining industry, Ashcroft products can help control damage before it occurs. Ashcroft focus is to protect lives, plant and equipment and countering everyday hazards that are naturally associated with this industry.

Purpose built pressure gauges for use in hazardous areas and destructive processes are suitable for use when dangerous gases are present and explosive atmospheres are commonplace. Even when monitoring the pressure of medias that are likely to clog a gauge, this can be overcome through an isolation ring, ensuring an uninterrupted process flow with continuously accurate measurements.
