Ashcroft pressure transmitter and transducer
Over 160 years ago, Edward Ashcroft saw the need for safer, more sophisticated pressure and temperature instruments for use in the emerging steam industry. In response, he introduced a then-revolutionary new Bourdon tube pressure gauge. The rest is history. Times continue to change and so do the needs of industry. Products manufactured by Ashcroft Inc. have become the benchmark in pressure and temperature measurement and include gauges, thermometers, switches, transducers, transmitters, instrument isolators and diaphragm seals and control and calibration equipment.
APPLICATIONS:
Dairy, food, pharmaceutical and any 3A sanitary application
BENEFITS & FEATURES:
316L Stainless Steel electropolished (1-1/2" - 2") Tri-Clamp® style diaphragm
Vac - 1,000 psi pressure range
Stainless Steel NEMA 4X enclosure
Superior long-term stability and repeatability
Current/voltage/millivolt output
Wide range of electrical connections available
All-welded construction
Ashcroft® combines the proven polysilicon thin film technology with its longtime know-how of diaphragm seals to create the KS sanitary pressure transmitter. The all-welded Stainless Steel construction meets the 3A Sanitary Standard 74-02.
The KS Sanitary Pressure Transmitter features the benefits of polysilicon thin film performance at an affordable price. Modern chemical vapor disposition methods provide simple, stable, molecular bonds between a proven metal diaphragm and polysilicon strain gage bridge. There are no epoxies or bonding agents to contribute to signal instability or drift.
The integral metal diaphragm and polysilicon bridge are virtually u
APPLICATIONS:
Pulp/paper, waste water, spray booths and all heavy medium pumping processes
BENEFITS & FEATURES:
Available with PMC adapter (shown)
Flush-mounted integral 316 Stainless Steel diaphragm
Stainless Steel NEMA 4X enclosure
Current/voltage output
The Ashcroft® KX transmitter combines the proven benefits of polysilicon thin film performance with the utility of a flush-mounting sensing diaphragm. Modern low-pressure chemical vapor deposition methods provide simple, stable molecular bonds between a proven metal diaphragm and polysilicon strain gage bridge. There are no epoxies or bonding agents to contribute to signal instability or drift.
The flush sensing element is provided by an integral, silicone filled Stainless Steel diaphragm seal. The small sensing area and low internal volume ensure accurate measurement under severe conditions.
The polysilicon strain resistors combine very low noise levels with very high signal output. There are no semiconductor (p-n) junctions to change with temperature, time or use. The integral metal diap

Providing plus-values which will coordinate key functional areas in your plant, this Ashcroft® pneumatic transmitter serves pressure applications throughout all industries. A positive report of process fluid and media performance is provided at designated operational check points by a signal accurately transmitted with maximum efficiency, assuring operating economies and safety.
The Ashcroft® transmitter is a self-nulling motion-balance instrument, using a pneumatic relay operating on the nonbleed force balance principle for converting input pressure into proportional low air pressure signals for transmittal to remove indicators or controllers.
