Ashcroft Industrial Products — RAZZ Middle East Saudi Arabia

Ashcroft Inc. is one of the world's most recognized names in pressure and temperature measurement, founded in 1852 when Edward Ashcroft purchased the exclusive North American rights to the Bourdon tube pressure gauge patent. With over 170 years of instrumentation heritage, Ashcroft manufactures pressure gauges, transducers, switches, and temperature instruments trusted by industries worldwide for their precision, durability, and safety certifications. RAZZ Middle East is your reliable source for genuine Ashcroft products across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, providing competitive pricing through our global procurement network and fast delivery to industrial sites from the Eastern Province to the Western Region.

Product Categories

Ashcroft's product portfolio covers the full spectrum of pressure and temperature measurement instrumentation, from general-purpose industrial gauges to specialized instruments rated for hazardous area installation in Saudi oil fields and petrochemical complexes.

• Pressure Gauges: The flagship 1279 Duragauge offers superior accuracy (±0.5% full scale) with Ashcroft's patented PLUS! performance in a robust design for process industries. The 1009 general service gauge provides reliable measurement for utility and HVAC applications. Stainless steel 1008S and 1109 gauges resist corrosion in coastal Saudi environments, while the T5500 test gauge delivers reference-grade accuracy for calibration laboratories.
• Digital Gauges and Indicators: Ashcroft DG25 and 2089 digital pressure gauges offer high-accuracy digital readout with data logging capabilities, HART compatibility, and battery operation for field use — ideal for remote Saudi installations where continuous monitoring is essential.
• Pressure Transducers and Transmitters: The A2 series and G2 series pressure transducers convert pressure to proportional electrical signals (4-20mA, 0-10V) for integration with DCS and PLC systems in Saudi industrial automation. The K1 and K2 transmitters provide HART-enabled intelligent pressure measurement with rangeability and self-diagnostics.
• Temperature Instruments: Ashcroft bimetal thermometers (EI and CI series) deliver reliable temperature indication in process piping and vessels. Thermowells (stepped, tapered, flanged) protect sensors from process media while maintaining measurement accuracy. RTD and thermocouple assemblies complete the temperature measurement offering.
• Pressure and Temperature Switches: B-series and T-series pressure switches provide reliable set-point actuation for alarm and shutdown systems in safety-critical applications. Ashcroft switches carry global certifications including ATEX, IECEx, CSA, and FM for hazardous area installation.
• Diaphragm Seals and Isolators: For aggressive, viscous, or high-temperature process media, Ashcroft diaphragm seals isolate the gauge from the process while transmitting accurate pressure readings — essential in Saudi chemical and refinery applications handling corrosive hydrocarbons.

Key Saudi Industries

Ashcroft instruments are found across virtually every industrial sector in Saudi Arabia, from massive Aramco upstream facilities to food processing plants and municipal water treatment systems. Their robust construction and extensive hazardous area certifications make them particularly suited to the Kingdom's demanding industrial environment.

• Oil & Gas: Ashcroft pressure gauges and switches are installed throughout Aramco's upstream and downstream operations, from wellhead monitoring in the Ghawar field to refinery process control at Ras Tanura and Yanbu. ATEX and IECEx-rated instruments ensure safe operation in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas common in Saudi oil and gas facilities.
• Petrochemical: SABIC and other petrochemical operators in Jubail and Yanbu Industrial Cities rely on Ashcroft Duragauge instruments and stainless steel transducers for monitoring reactor pressures, distillation columns, and heat exchanger performance in corrosive chemical environments.
• Power Generation: Saudi Electricity Company and independent power producers use Ashcroft gauges and switches for boiler pressure monitoring, turbine oil pressure indication, and cooling system temperature measurement across the Kingdom's thermal and combined-cycle power plants.
• Water Treatment: Municipal and industrial water treatment facilities across Saudi Arabia deploy Ashcroft instruments for monitoring filtration pressure differentials, pump discharge pressures, and distribution system pressure — supporting the Kingdom's massive water infrastructure investments under Vision 2030.

Why Source Through RAZZ?

RAZZ Middle East delivers genuine Ashcroft instruments at competitive prices through our established procurement channels in the USA, India, and Europe. We stock common Ashcroft gauge models and can source any catalog item with reliable lead times.

FAQs

Q: What is the lead time for Ashcroft instruments delivered to Saudi Arabia?
A: Standard gauges and common catalog items typically deliver within 2-4 weeks. Specialty instruments with custom ranges, materials, or hazardous area certifications may require 6-10 weeks. We maintain stock of popular models to support urgent requirements.

Q: Are Ashcroft instruments certified for Saudi hazardous area installations?
A: Yes, Ashcroft offers extensive hazardous area certifications including ATEX (European), IECEx (International), FM and CSA (North American), and INMETRO. Their pressure switches and electronic instruments are available in explosion-proof and intrinsically safe configurations rated for Zone 0, 1, and 2 installations.

Q: Can RAZZ supply Ashcroft calibration services and replacement parts?
A: We supply replacement movements, Bourdon tubes, dial assemblies, and diaphragm seal fill fluids for Ashcroft instruments. For calibration, we can provide NIST-traceable test gauges (T5500 series) that allow you to calibrate your installed Ashcroft instruments on-site per your facility's quality program requirements.
