CAUTION: USE THE PROPER PRESSURE MEDIUM. USE ONLY CLEAN,

DRY NON-CORROSIVE GASES. THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOT DESIGNED

FOR OXYGEN USE.

WARNING: NOT EXPLOSION PROOF!

Installation of this instrument in an area requiring devices rated as intrinsically

safe is not recommended.

WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY!

The tubing, valves and other apparatus attached to the gauge must be adequate

for the maximum pressure which will be applied, otherwise physical injury to the

operator or bystanders is possible.

WARNING: HIGH SOUND LEVELS!

Pressures from 600 psig and up can generate sound levels above 100 db for brief

periods when they are exhausted directly to atmosphere. If no muffling devices are

attached to the EXHAUST port, then ear protection is advised for personnel in

the vicinity of instruments that will be operated under such conditions.

WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE!

High pressure gases are potentially hazardous. Energy stored in these gases can be

released suddenly and with extreme force. High pressure systems should be assembled

and operated only by personnel who have been trained in proper safety practices.

CAUTION: ESD PROTECTION REQUIRED. The proper use of grounded

work surfaces and personal wrist straps are required when coming into contact

with exposed circuits (printed circuit boards) to prevent static discharge to

sensitive electronic components.

MENSOR BACKGROUND

HISTORY: Mensor is an ISO-9001:2000 certified manufacturer of precision pressure products. Mensor

was established in 1969 in Houston, Texas as an independent spin-off from the Texas Instruments (TI)

Pressure Instrument Group. As a private corporation, Mensor’s objective was to design and produce high

accuracy, high quality, easy to use pressure instruments. In 1978 Mensor moved to its present location in

San Marcos, on Interstate 35 (the Austin-San Antonio corridor). Two and a half years after the move, the

plant was destroyed by fire on Friday, February 13, 1981. Mensor resolved to come back, and almost

before the ashes had cooled, construction of a new building began on the same site. Six months after the

disaster, Mensor moved into its present facility and began shipping products to customers who had waited

patiently for the recovery.

PEOPLE: The key to Mensor’s strength in the marketplace is the concentration of experienced people in

the field of precision pressure measurement and control. The company’s founders previously worked in

various capacities in the Pressure Instrument Group of Texas Instruments, including engineering,

production and marketing. These founders were involved in the design of the original quartz bourdon

pressure gauge at TI. Mensor’s CEO, Jerry Fruit, is co-holder of the patent on using a fused quartz bourdon

tube to accurately measure pressure. Mensor employees have an average tenure of sixteen years. That’s a

lot of pressure experience!

PRODUCTS: Mensor’s portfolio of products consists of an extensive line of precision pressure instru-

ments, including digital gauges, pressure controllers, transducers and pressure calibrations systems. All

of these products feature computer interface capability. These products are used in metrology labs,

calibration labs, research facilities, engineering offices, production test stands, and in other environments

were high accuracy pressure measurement and/or control is required. Many of these products include

customized features to meet a customer’s specific requirement. Mensor products range from about $900

to $30,000.

CUSTOMERS: Typical Mensor customers are pressure sensor manufacturers, aerospace firms, jet engine

manufacturers, electric utilities, nuclear power plants, pharmaceutical firms, calibration laboratories,

government agencies and research organizations.

APPLICATIONS: In many facilities the highest accuracy pressure measuring or pressure controlling

instrument is a Mensor product. A typical application for these Mensor instruments is the calibration of

other pressure devices, such as sensors, transducers, transmitters, gauges and pressure switches. The

Mensor product is used as the pressure standard to verify pressure calibrations or outputs of the device

being produced, checked, tested or certified.
