The Ashcroft® 1490 Diaphragm Gauge is an economical solution for low pressure measurement. This model provides reliability and performance due to its ultra-sensitive diaphragm measuring system. An ideal product for non-corrosive gas measurement. Not suitable for liquids.
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 polysufone 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
