Perma-Cal® Industries, Inc. has been a leader in quality and design of Direct Drive Pressure Gauges since 1980. Reliable in the most rugged environments, Perma-Cal® gauges are designed to withstand hostile applications, including intense vibration, shock and over-pressure. For this reason, Perma-Cal® gauges are well suited for Aerospace, Military, Marine, Petrochemical, Industrial and Commercial Diving applications.
Business History
Perma-Cal® Corporation began in August 1980. Originally, the Perma-Cal® product line was a division of the American Standard Corporation located in Monrovia, CA. In the early 1970’s, American Standard was purchased by HTL Industries which then in 1980 sold the Perma-Cal® product line to several former HTL employees. From August 1980 through October 1994, the company remained in Monrovia. In order to take advantage of the pro-business climate of Nevada, and to get away from the punitive business and personal taxation policies of California, the company moved to Minden, NV and became Perma-Cal® Industries, Inc. in November 1994.
ONE MOVING PART
Unmatched vibration, pulsation and shock performance.
Helical Bourdon Tube = Gearless, Direct Drive = DURABILITY
No linkages, springs, gears, or liquid fill to wear, break or leak. Unique, internal pointer dampening reduces pointer flutter without the negative consequences of liquid fill.
OOPS! PROOF
Proof Pressure (over-pressure) of 150% F.S. exceeds industry standards.
Survives the day to day beatings of an industrial environment in addition to the accidental drop, channel lock tap or the surprise pothole. Additionally, where vacuum can sometimes damage a C-tube gauge, Direct Drive is unaffected.
AEROSPACE QUALITY | MILITARY TRUSTED
Direct Drive is demanded on critical applications.
The same military grade Direct Drive technology used in our Aerospace and Military designs, is used in our industrial gauges for commercial applications. Ideal for land, air, sea, and space.
The U.S. Military recognizes the durability advantages Direct Drive provides and requires it on their most demanding applications.
TEMPERATURE HERO
Trusted in extremes from -65°F up to 600°F media. Accuracy is 25% less affected by temperature fluctuations.
Inconel Elastic Element = Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
Inconel in combination with a low internal volume means that the impact of temperature on accuracy is significantly less than competitors using a Stainless Steel Bourdon Tube. High-Temp solutions available which bring operating temperatures up to 400°F Ambient / 600°F Media.
MINI-SEAL COMPATIBILITY
Requires 85% less fill fluid than the competition. Accuracy is 50% less affected by temperatures above 68°F (20°C)
Low volume design enables performance on mini diaphragm seals. This can provide significant performance and cost advantages vs. competitors.
USA PARTS, USA MADE, USA OWNED
Manufactured in Minden, NV using only American made parts. Manufacturing processes not completed in house are outsourced to support local small businesses.
LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY
Lifetime warranty that the Bourdon tube will not malfunction due to wear.
1 year from delivery or 18 months from date of manufacture against defects in materials and workmanship.
