Ashcroft B-Series Pressure Switches: Reliable and Versatile Control

The Ashcroft B-Series pressure switches are expertly designed for versatility and durability, providing a reliable solution for a broad range of control applications. With a focus on user-friendliness, these switches facilitate straightforward installation. Constructed from high-quality materials, they are built to last, even in challenging environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Robust Construction: Crafted from premium materials to ensure longevity and consistent performance.
• Diverse Switch Elements: Offers a wide range of precision switch elements, including hermetically sealed contacts for enhanced safety and reliability.
• Exceptional Setpoint Repeatability: Standard models provide a tight ±1% of range repeatability, guaranteeing accurate and consistent control.
• High Proof Pressure: Engineered to endure a minimum of 400% of range proof pressure, safeguarding the switch against overpressure incidents.
• Customizable Designs: Tailored configurations are available to meet specific requirements for applications such as fire safety (NACE) and limit control.

Advanced Actuator Technology

The B-Series features two distinct actuator designs to optimize performance based on setpoint needs:

1. Diaphragm-Sealed Piston Actuator (Setpoints 2-3000 psi): This robust and straightforward design ensures high reliability. It offers various actuator seal materials to ensure compatibility with nearly any process media. An optional welded design is available for setpoints up to 1000 psi.

2. Dual Diaphragm-Sealed Piston (Differential Pressure Models): This innovative design accommodates very high static operating pressures in a compact size, making it perfect for differential pressure applications where space is at a premium.

Performance in Challenging Environments

Designed to function reliably in environments subject to shock and vibration, the B-Series is an excellent choice for industrial applications. For extreme conditions involving slurries or abrasive fluids, these switches can be paired with Ashcroft diaphragm seals for enhanced protection and longevity.
