Ashcroft Low Pressure Pressure Gauge Type 1490

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
