Type 1490 Low Pressure

Diaphragm Gauge

Type:

The Ashcroft Type 1490 low pressure

diaphragm gauge is designed to
measure pressure from 10 in. H2O
to 15 psi, both positive and negative
pressures. This gauge uses a very
sensitive diaphragm capsule to
measure low pressure and vacuum.
The gauge is specifically designed for
use whenever the pressure medium is
a gas that is not corrosive to beryllium
copper, brass, polysulfone and RTV
silicone. The polysulfone case is suitable for intermittent or continuous service on natural gas provided a .013
throttle plug is installed in the socket.
Typical applications are, but not
limited to, vacuum pumps, gas leak
detectors, air compressors, air filters,
gas burners, gas measurement,
vacuum ovens, suction regulators and
respirators.

Type 1495 Low Pressure

Receiver Gauge
The Ashcroft Type 1495 receiver
gauge uses a diaphragm capsule as
its sensing element rather than a
bourdon tube. The sensitivity of the
diaphragm promotes smooth pointer
motion that makes minor pressure
changes easy to read.
The Type 1495 receiver gauge is the
ideal product where the standard
Grade A accuracy (2-1-2%) or the
optional Grade 1A (1%) accuracy and
smaller dial sizes are specified. The
long pointer, smooth-operating sensing element, easily removable window
and re-zero adjustment screw make
specification and installation of this
receiver gauge quick and easy.
