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.
Specified around the world
for the most demanding requirements, these instruments are widely
recognized under the brand names Ashcroft,® Heise,® Willy,® and
Weksler.® And you can find them in wastewater treatment facilities,
biotech and pharmaceutical labs, medical applications, semiconductor
facilities, refineries, power generation plants, food processing plants,
pulp and paper mills, chemical manufacturing plants and the host of
support companies that serve these industries.
Our team consists of experts
ready to help resolve even the most difficult applications and technical
issues. If you require broader specifications than our standard product
line offers, our engineers, technical staff and product marketing
specialists can work with you to custom fit the right product to the
job. Our customer service representatives are highly trained to answer
product application questions, offer competitive product
cross-references and work closely with you to help meet your goals.
We maintain an extensive network of field and in-house sales
personnel, local representatives and distributors to ensure you receive
quick product delivery and service. Along with our “partner”
representatives we offer product training and education, facility
surveys, calibration services, seal assembly and answers to your
application questions.
Safety is a critical issue,
and our instrument audit can improve the safety or your plant. Industry
surveys indicate that 20% to 30% of customers’ instruments are
misapplied and fail prematurely due to pulsation and vibration, allowing
the process media or liquid fill to escape and cause environmental
damage or even harm those nearby. Experts from Ashcroft Inc. can help
identify areas of concern before they become problems. This important
service will help prevent accidents, avoid misapplications and save
money and time.
As the leader in technology
and innovation we design new products based on current and emerging
market requirements as well as individual customer’s requirements. As
the industry leader our “firsts” lead the way with breakthrough new
product features and value added benefits for the customer.
With our 2005 acquisition by (our longtime sensor partner)
Nagano Keiki Company of Japan we now have access to additional
engineering expertise and superior, exclusive sensor technology.
