Water & Wastewater
Pressure and temperature instruments for water and wastewater applications
Applications of Measurement and Monitoring Technology
Water serves numerous critical functions within a community. While it may seem easily accessible to the user, cleaning water and conveying it to the tap is a highly complex operation requiring precise and accurate levels of filtration, pressure, and flow. For this reason, water and wastewater treatment companies employ measurement and monitoring technologies—e.g., temperature and pressure instruments—to ensure their operations maintain acceptable operating conditions. In addition to providing precise and accurate results, these instruments should be able to handle the environments in which they are used without suffering significant damage or degradation. Otherwise, unexpected failure may lead to system component or complete system failure.
Ashcroft’s pressure and temperature instruments are employed in a wide range of operations across the water and wastewater industries. Examples of applications in which our products are often found include:
Given the strict regulations and growing demands of the water and wastewater industries, accurate and rugged process measurement is essential to keeping operations running smoothly. Whether for monitoring hydrostatic pressure or regulating flow, we have the right solutions.
Ashcroft: Your Single-Source Solution
At Ashcroft, we offer measurement and control product solutions for each stage of the water and wastewater treatment processes—collection, separation, aeration, treatment, and final discharge—all of which are designed to stand up to the industries’ various stresses and substances. Our comprehensive product selection allows water and wastewater industry customers to rely on Ashcroft as a single source for all of their needs.
Ashcroft is one of the few companies that performs all design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, calibration, and certification operations in-house and provides a completed and finalized assembly. These services allow us to offer system integrity while providing safety and protection for people, processes, and profits.
We are uniquely qualified to help contractors, system integrators, and end-users develop and assemble a complete solution tailored to their specifications and standards. In addition to creating custom-designed assemblies that meet your requirements with our gauges, pressure and temperature switches, transducers, transmitters, and isolation rings, we can now attach instruments and transmitters made by other reputable manufacturers to our seals to provide the performance and protection you require. Assemblies include the necessary documentation, such as material test reports, calibration reports, hydrostatic testing, and others, as required. With a metallurgist on staff, Ashcroft has the knowledge and guidance to ensure compatibility with your process.
Importance of Measurement and Monitoring Technology for the Water and Wastewater Industry
Water and wastewater operations are subject to strict regulations and requirements—including from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the Clean Water Act (CWA)—all of which aim to protect the safety of the end-user. Measurement and monitoring technologies allow companies to verify whether their equipment and systems comply with these standards and/or require adjustments to improve their performance. By optimizing their operations, industry professionals can enhance operator safety, improve process efficiency, and reduce overall operational costs. For these reasons, it is important to partner with an experienced and knowledgeable instrumentation provider—such as Ashcroft—to ensure you protect your people, processes, and profits.
Why Partner with Ashcroft?
Your single-source solutions provider. At Ashcroft, we design, engineer, manufacture, test, and calibrate a broad selection of products for water and wastewater applications. By choosing us as your source for measurement and control solutions, you can benefit from our:
After more than 165 years in business, Ashcroft is fully aware of the complex challenges faced by customers in the water and wastewater industries. Our team designs and engineers appropriate solutions to help customers overcome application challenges, reduce operating costs, and/or address safety issues.
Our extensive industry experience allows us to identify optimization opportunities and present advantageous solutions, resulting in higher efficiency and lower operating costs for our customers. Additionally, our products are engineered to withstand some of the harshest conditions, necessitating less equipment maintenance and lower replacement costs over time.
We are committed to helping our customers achieve safe and reliable water and wastewater treatment operations. Our product solutions are designed to provide optimal performance and comply with all relevant regulatory standards. They are intrinsically safe, explosion-proof and flameproof, and ATEX, CE, UL, FM and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61-certified. We also offer traceable calibration certificates.
We strive to create easy-to-use solutions for our water and wastewater customers. For example, our rangeable transmitters are easily adjusted to measure conditions within a water tower and output results with precise scaled flow without unwanted fluid head pressure.
Many of the applications in the water and wastewater industries involve exposure to corrosive and otherwise damaging compounds. Our diaphragm seals and isolation rings protect sensitive instruments against aggressive media such as fluoride, chlorine, and ozone.
