Reducing the number of pressure ranges in service can simplify inventory management, lower spare parts requirements, and streamline maintenance activities. Read our use case and comment below. https://hubs.li/Q04m24890

When local businesses support one another, entire communities benefit. That's why we're excited to welcome Gazy Brothers Farm back to Ashcroft Headquarters this summer. Employees can enjoy fresh, locally grown products while helping sustain a family-owned farm that has been serving our region for generations.

Validation and calibration are essential in controlled environments, but traditional methods can increase downtime and trigger costly system revalidation. Learn how the Ashcroft® SpoolCal® actuator enables in-place calibration without disconnecting pressure lines or process connections. Download the guide to see how it works.

If you're an OEM specifying pressure sensors, here's a technology worth understanding: CVD (chemical v***r deposition).

CVD is the thin film manufacturing process behind some of the most reliable pressure sensors used in mobile hydraulics, compressor systems, forestry, railway and other demanding industrial applications. Why it matters:

✅ Accuracy — polysilicon strain gauges bonded directly to a stainless-steel diaphragm
✅ Repeatability — consistent readings across millions of cycles
✅ Durability — all-welded stainless steel construction
✅ Temperature resistance — rated from -40 to 125 °C
✅ High cycle life — built to withstand shock, vibration and pressure spikes

What can a plantwide instrument audit reveal?
See how one energy facility, evaluated 253 pressure and temperature instruments and uncovered opportunities to improve reliability, reduce maintenance complexity, and strengthen safety across the plant.

Based on the Ashcroft CASE® audit, product experts recommended pressure range optimization, severe service protection, inventory consolidation, and targeted gauge replacements to improve long-term performance.

Even facilities with strong maintenance practices can benefit from periodic instrumentation audits. Identifying performance gaps before failures occur is one of the most effective ways to improve reliability, reduce risk, and lower maintenance costs. Read full article.

A. Pressure range is typically the first and most important consideration because it determines whether the gauge can accurately measure the process while avoiding damage from overpressure conditions. Other factors such as media compatibility, connections and environmental conditions should then be evaluated to narrow the final selection. Read full article to learn more.

During National Safety Month, we're proud to recognize the employees who make safety a daily priority. Our Safety Committee brings together team members from across the organization to identify opportunities, lead training initiatives, promote best practices and help ensure a safe work environment for everyone. Thank you all for helping make Ashcroft a great place to work—every day.

Pressure gauges used in chemical and petrochemical applications face far more than pressure alone. Corrosive media, temperature extremes, moisture ingress, pressure spikes, and vibration can all impact measurement accuracy, instrument reliability, and process safety.

Read our article to learn more about the factors to consider when selecting a pressure gauge for chemical service and see how proper gauge selection can help improve reliability, extend instrument life, and support safer operation in demanding process environments.
