The ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge delivers dependable pressure measurement for demanding industrial applications. It combines safety, performance, and material integrity in a 4½-inch phenolic case design. This makes it a strong fit for refineries, chemical plants, offshore installations, water and wastewater systems, equipment skids, and OEM equipment.
The Ashcroft Duragauge pressure gauge offers ranges from vacuum and compound ranges up to 30,000 psi. It also supports multiple wetted material options, connection locations, damping choices, and mounting styles. As a result, users can match the gauge to the process, installation, and environmental needs of the application.
Westech Industrial supplies the ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Our team can also help select the right pressure range, wetted materials, mounting style, accessories, and diaphragm seal assemblies. In addition, Westech’s service capabilities and custom fabrication team can support gauge integration into panels, skids, sample systems, analyzer packages, and other industrial assemblies.

Description
Built for Dependable Industrial Pressure Measurement
The ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge gives operators a reliable way to monitor process pressure in tough industrial environments. Its 4½-inch dial size helps improve visibility, while its solid-front case with pressure relief back supports safer operation. The phenolic case also helps protect the gauge in many industrial settings. Because many pressure applications involve harsh processes, vibration, or changing conditions, this gauge offers several configuration paths. Users can select the materials, connections, range, damping, and mounting style that best suit the installation.
Wide Pressure Range Selection
The Ashcroft Duragauge pressure gauge supports vacuum, compound, and positive pressure ranges up to 30,000 psi. This range flexibility helps facilities standardize on one gauge platform across many applications. However, the maximum pressure depends on the selected system material. Bronze tube and brass process connection options support pressures up to 1,000 psi. Stainless steel system options support pressures up to 20,000 psi. K-Monel® and Monel® configurations support pressures up to 30,000 psi.
Wetted Material Options for Process Compatibility
Ashcroft offers several wetted component configurations for the 1279 Duragauge. Options include 316L stainless steel, steel, K-Monel® 500, Monel® 400, C510 phosphor bronze, and brass. Welded joints support several system material combinations, while the bronze and brass configuration uses silver-brazed joints. These options help users match the gauge to process media, pressure level, and corrosion considerations.
Damping Choices for Vibration, Shock, and Pulsation
Pressure gauges often operate near pumps, compressors, process equipment, and systems with changing pressure conditions. In these applications, vibration, shock, and pulsation can make readings harder to interpret. The ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge offers several dampening options to help improve readability and support reliable pressure monitoring. Available dampening choices include glycerin fill, silicone fill, Halocarbon® fill, and PLUS!™ Performance. The PLUS!™ Performance option helps dampen the effects of vibration, shock, and pulsation. In addition, throttle screws are available in brass, stainless steel, and Monel® materials. If no orifice size is specified, a 0.020-inch throttle screw is supplied.
These options give users more flexibility when selecting a gauge for demanding process conditions. As a result, facilities can better match the gauge configuration to the pressure range, process media, operating environment, and installation requirements. Westech Industrial can help review the application and recommend the right dampening option for the ASHCROFT 1279.
Flexible Connections, Mounting, and Visibility Options
The ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge supports lower, back, side, and top process connection locations. Process connection options include ¼ NPT, ½ NPT, and a 9/16-18 UNF-2B Aminco® high-pressure connection. Mounting options include stem, surface, flush, pipe, and remote mounting. Window options include standard glass, acrylic, shatterproof glass, and non-glare glass. Operators can also choose custom dial printing, a micrometer-adjustable pointer, set hands, special dials, and tagging options.
Approvals and Application Confidence
The ASHCROFT 1279 Duragauge Pressure Gauge carries CE, CRN, and NSF-61 approvals. It also offers NSF-61 compliant 316 stainless steel configurations for appropriate applications. With corrosion-resistant material choices, pressure relief design, and accessory compatibility, this gauge works well in many industrial pressure measurement roles. Westech can help confirm the right model configuration before ordering.
