PRESSURE INSTRUMENTATION FOR OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS
THE CHALLENGES
TODAY’S MARKET DEMANDS COMPLEX PROCESSES
THAT COMPLY WITH STRINGENT REGULATIONS
GOVERNING UPSTREAM APPLICATIONS
That is why our engineers are dedicated
to understanding the complexity and ever
changing oil and gas processes.
We have developed NACE MR0175/ISO1516-
2009 compliant gauges, seals, transducers
and switches designed to perform in
wellheads, offshore rigs and shale fields. These
instruments are also designed to meet the
latest industry standards and regulations:
• ATEX, CE, UL and FM approved
explosion/flame proof transducers
• ATEX, CE, UL, CSA, FM and IECEx approved
explosion/flame proof, SIL 3 capable switches
• 316 SS corrosion and ingress
resistant enclosures
At Ashcroft, we go beyond
manufacturing. We are here to
help you find the best instrument
or assembly for your process.
Our team has extensive experience working to counter the potential effects
of stress corrosion cracking in sour environments. We will engineer custom
solutions to perform in processes where pressure spikes and pulsation can occur
to meet unique installation requirements. Together we will determine the best
instrumentation for your applications, as we did in the following case studies.

CASE STUDY
1109 Gauge Assembly
Products: 1109 Pressure Gauges
510 (XHP) All Welded Diaphragm Seal
Pressure Limiting Valve
Failure Mode: Gauge must meet strict
specifications and corrosion resistance
Process Media: Chemical injection, oil and gas
Maximum Pressure: up to 10,000 psi
The Problem:
An engineering company was awarded a contract to
provide front end engineering design for an offshore
tension leg platform (TLP) located under 3,500ft of
water. During their review, they discovered that the
requirement for ASME compliant gauges had not been
met. Also, the gauges did not meet the unusually
1109 Pressure Gauge, PLV and 510 (XHP)
stringent overpressure requirements designated for the Diaprahgm Seal
platform. The company was also bearing the expense
of prohibitively high cost Monel® pressure limiting 1109 SPECIFICATIONS
valves due to direct contact with corrosive media. Accuracy: ±0.5% of span (ASME B40.100 Grade 2A)
Dial Size: 4½˝
The Solution:
Process Connections: ¼ NPT or ½ NPT
To fulfill platform requirements, Ashcroft offered the
ASME compliant 4½˝ 1109 solid front gauge. With Pressure Ranges: Per diaphragm seal rating
an optional 316L stainless steel case, the gauge 1109 WETTED MATERIALS
was well suited to the salt spray environment, while Tube: 316L SS
the addition of the PLUS!™ Performance option
Process Connection: 316L SS
kept the pointer stable despite process vibration.
1109 NON-WETTED MATERIAL
The gauge was isolated from the corrosive media by Case: 300 Series SS, 316 SS (OPT.)
a 510 diaphragm seal with Monel® wetted parts. The Ring: 300 Series SS, 316L SS (OPT.)
pressure limiting valve was relocated between the Pressure Relief Back: 300 Series SS, 316L SS (OPT.)
diaphragm seal and the gauge, isolating it from the
PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE
corrosives as well. As a result, a 316 stainless steel
valve could be used in place of the Monel® version, Wetted Materials: 316L SS, 316Ti SS and 304 SS
substantially lowering the cost of the assembly. Max. Pressure Rating: 14,500 psi
Max. Temperature Rating: 175°F (80°C)
The platform now operates with the required
ASME compliant pressure measurement 510 (XHP) ALL WELDED DIAPHRAGM SEAL
instruments, and safely resists damage caused Max. Pressure Rating: 10,000 psi at 212°F (100°C)
by corrosive media and salt spray. The new Bottom Housing: 316L SS, Hastelloy® C276, or Monel®
selection and configuration of component devices
Diaphragm:
also lowered the cost of the assembly. 316L SS, Hastelloy® C276, or Monel®

CASE STUDY
1259 Mounting
Products: 1259 Pressure Gauge
Failure Mode: Gauge must be mounted on a pipe
Process Media: Crude Oil
Operating Pressure: 10 and 16 Bar
The Problem:
A floating production, storage and offloading vessel
(FPSO) was working 200 miles offshore. These vessels
pump up to 150,000 barrels per day from existing
wells, and store the oil onboard. Oil is then transferred
to shuttle tankers. The Ashcroft® 1259 pressure gauge
was the specified instrument to measure the pressures
on discharge pumps. Due to the unusual location of
1259 Pressure Gauge Mounting
the pressure port and the effects of the machinery, the
gauge needed to be remotely mounted on a 2˝ pipe
located ten feet away from the pressure source.
The Solutions:
Stainless steel hardware was specially engineered
by Ashcroft to adapt the 1259 gauge to a pipe
mount configuration. Stainless steel brackets were
then designed to allow the gauge to be safely and
securely clamped to the 2˝ pipe for remote reading.
