Skydrol Gauges
CORROSION RESISTANT PRECISION PRESSURE GAUGES
Advantages
ONE MOVING PART
Unmatched vibration, pulsation and shock performance.
Helical Bourdon Tube = Gearless, Direct Drive = DURABILITY
No linkages, springs, gears, or liquid fill to wear, break or leak. Unique, internal pointer dampening reduces pointer flutter without the negative consequences of liquid fill.
OOPS! PROOF
Proof Pressure (over-pressure) of 150% F.S. exceeds industry standards.
Survives the day to day beatings of a rigorous hydraulic testing environment. Additionally, where vacuum can sometimes damage a C-tube gauge, Direct Drive is unaffected.
LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY
Lifetime warranty that the Bourdon tube will not malfunction due to wear.
1 year from delivery or 18 months from date of manufacture against defects in materials and workmanship.
CLEARLY IDENTIFIES
SKYDROL
USE
Purple aluminum ring (Hard Anodize / Type 3, Class 2) clearly identifies Skydrol use without the risk of corrosion or discoloration.
AEROSPACE QUALITY | MILITARY TRUSTED
Direct Drive Design is demanded on critical applications. Military Grade MIL-S-901 shock tested case.
The same military grade Direct Drive technology used in our Aeropsace and Military designs, is used in our Skydrol solution.
The U.S. Military recognizes the durability advantages Direct Drive provides and requires it on their most demanding applications.
EXTREME CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
High quality materials provide extreme resistance to corrosive media.
USA PARTS, USA MADE, USA OWNED
Manufactured in Minden, NV using only American made parts. Manufacturing processes not completed in house are outsourced to support local small businesses.
Skydrol Gauge Specs
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Ideal for use in aerospace hydraulics testing facilities and fluid control manufacturing facilities where Skydrol is used.
Product is designed for highly corrosive chemicals and can be customized to designate usage other than Skydrol.
