Ashcroft A Series Explosion Proof Pressure Switches
The Ashcroft A Series explosion proof pressure switches are engineered for demanding environments where traditional pressure switch designs may fall short. Featuring a robust all 316 stainless steel (SS) IP67 enclosure, these switches provide exceptional protection across a wide temperature range, making them ideal for hazardous area applications. The materials used in their construction are selected for durability and longevity.
Key Features
- Durable Construction: All 316 stainless steel enclosure ensures resistance to corrosion and harsh conditions.
- Moisture Protection: Precision snap acting micro switches are fully encased to safeguard against moisture and corrosion.
- Sealing Options: Depending on the pressure range, the switch features either an all welded 316 stainless steel diaphragm sealed piston design or a direct acting piston design sealed with a Buna-N or Viton O-ring.
Applications
The Ashcroft A Series explosion proof pressure switches are suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Oil and gas production
- Offshore oil rigs
- Oil pipelines
- Gas transmission and distribution systems
- Refineries, where compact size and 316 stainless steel construction are advantageous
- Process industries
- Process gas applications
- Pumps, compressors, and turbines, where size and corrosion resistance are critical
