The Problem...In the past, applications whereheavy vibration and pulsationwere present required the use ofeither a conventional dry gaugewith a hard to read pointer and a limited life span, or, a costly liquid-filled gauge and all theheadaches that come with them.
The Solution...An exclusive, breakthrough tech-nology developed for Ashcroftpressure gauges providing virtuallyliquid-filled performance in a drygauge, the Ashcroft® PLUS! TM
Performance option.
Benefits vs. Dry Gauges...• Dampens vibration and pulsation• Steady pointer – Easier to read!• 100% longer life• Reduce purchases by 50%!
Benefits vs Liquid-filled...• Dampens vibration and pulsationwithout the headaches of liquid-filled gauges.
• No liquid – No leaks!• Easier to read...no fill lines! • Easier to recalibrate.• Wider temperature range vs glycerin-fill.
• Eliminates costly specialty fluids. Patented
Award Winning
Design!
How’d They Do That?..The Patented Ashcroft® PLUS! TM
Performance option utilizes aunique cartridge to surround the pinion with an engineered damp-ening agent to dynamically damp-en the pointer and movement,thereby providing a dry gaugewhich acts liquid-filled.
IMPROVED PLANT SAFETYSafety is a critical issue and thePLUS! TM performance option canimprove the safety of your plant.Industry surveys indicate that20% to 30% of customer’sgauges are misapplied and pre-maturely fail due to pulsation andvibration. If a Bourdon tube failsdue to excessive pulsation, theprocess media will escape caus-ing possible environmental dam-age, process contamination andmore importantly, possible injury,fire or explosion.
Q. Are PLUS! TMPerformance gauges “new” gauges?
A. No. We simply enhanced the industry lead-ing Ashcroft products you’ve grown to trustwith a fluid clutch dampener. The mechani-cal system is unchanged.
Q. Does PLUS!TM Performance affect accuracy?
A. No. The only difference is that theresponse time is similar to liquid-filledgauges.
Q. Can these gauges be oxygen cleaned? A. Yes. Our process cleans the system to
meet AMSE B40.1 level IV.Q. What temperature range is possible?A. –40oF to 200oF or 250°F depending on
window material.Q. Can I use PLUS! TM Performance instead
of Halocarbon fillA. Yes!Q. Can this be used in paint applications or
others requiring no silicone?A. The standard PLUS! TM Performance can-
not be used in silicone-free applications.However, PLUS! TM is available in a sili-cone-free version. Order as XNZ for sili-cone-free.
Q. Does the throttle plug do all the work?A. No. Throttle plugs are designed only to
fight pulsation. Vibration requires either a liquid-filled gauge or PLUS! TM Performance.
Q. Does our competition have anything similar?
A. No. One competitor evaluated a liquidlessgauge with poor results. Their design uti-lized a dashpot which caused prematurefailures versus even dry gauges. Gaugeswith PLUS! TMPerformance utilize a com-pletely different approach overcoming theirdesign problem.
Q. Will this gauge last forever?A. No gauge will last forever under condi-
tions of severe pulsation and vibration.The PLUS! TMPerformance gauges simplylast significantly longer than traditionaldry gauges with the benefits outlinedabove. There are a few applications,chiefly severe high frequency pulsation,where a liquid-filled gauge or a remotemounted gauge is necessary. With a fewexceptions, Beta site customers havefound the performance to rival liquid-filledgauges in life expectancy without any ofthe headaches of liquid-filled gauges.
Q. How Do I Order?A. The product variation “XLL” designates
PLUS!TM Performance in all Duragauge®,Duralife®, 1008S and 1032 pressuregauges and Duratran® transmitters.
