Free Shipping on Orders Over $365.58 USD

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 polysulfone case is suitable for intermittent or continuous service on natural gas provided a 0.013 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.
Features
  • Glass-filled polysulfone case material, won’t rust or dent 
  • Beryllium copper diaphragm 
  • Brass socket 
  • Wetted materials of beryllium copper, brass, polysulfone and RTV silicone
