For over 170 years, Ashcroft has been the trusted name in pressure and temperature instrumentation. When it comes to water and wastewater applications, Ashcroft pressure gauges and instrumentation solutions stand apart for their reliability, durability, and precision engineering.
Water and wastewater facilities face unique challenges that put immense strain on measurement instruments. From corrosive chemicals to particulate-laden sludge, these harsh conditions demand equipment that can maintain accuracy while withstanding tough environments. This is where Ashcroft’s expertise truly shines.
Industry-Leading Pressure Gauge Solutions
Ashcroft’s comprehensive line of pressure gauges includes options specifically designed for water and wastewater applications. For example, the 1009 series feature all stainless-steel construction and exceptional accuracy ratings of ±0.5% of span. These ASME B40.100 Grade 2A gauges deliver consistent performance even when exposed to challenging conditions.
For applications involving particulates or sludge, Ashcroft’s innovative isolation ring technology prevents clogging while ensuring accurate readings. The 80, 81, and 82 series isolation rings feature a flexible elastomer liner that creates a continuous surface with the pipe interior, eliminating cavities where particulates could accumulate.
Protecting Against Common Challenges
Water and wastewater applications present several key challenges that Ashcroft has specifically engineered solutions to address:
- Corrosion Protection: Ashcroft’s wide selection of compatible materials and diaphragm seals protect instruments from aggressive chemicals used in water treatment
- Clog Prevention: Isolation rings and flush-mounted seals prevent particulate buildup that could impair instrument function
- Stable Readings: PLUS!™ Performance dampening technology and liquid-filled gauges provide clear readings even with system vibration and pulsation
- Overpressure Protection: Pressure limiting valves (PLV) and specialized gauge designs prevent damage from pressure spikes
