Pressure and Differential
Pressure Switches
G- and L-Series pressure, differen-
tial pressure and vacuum switches
use two different actuators depend-
ing on setpoint requirements. For
setpoints between 2 and 3000 psi,
the simple, rugged diaphragm-
sealed piston actuator is used. This
design features high reliability and
a choice of actuator seal materials
for virtually every application. An
optional welded design is also
available for setpoints up to 1000
psi for maximum reliability. This
design is available in 316 SS or
Monel. Differential pressure models
use a unique dual-diaphragm-
sealed piston design that features
very high static operating pressures
and small size.
For setpoints between 4.5 and 150
inches of H
2
O, a large diaphragm is
used for increased sensitivity in
both pressure and differential
pressure designs with good choice
of materials of construction.
All standard models feature
±
1
percent of range setpoint repeat-
ability and a minimum of 400
percent of range proof pressures.
These standard designs perform
well in applications where shock
and vibration could be a problem
and may be used with Ashcroft
diaphragm seals in extreme
services such as slurries or abra-
sive process fluids.

NOTES:
1. Switches may generally be set between 15% and 100%
of nominal range on increasing or decreasing pressure.
Consult factory for applications where setpoints must be
lower.
2. All deadbands are given in English units as shown in
the nominal range column. Deadbands shown are for
switches with Buna N diaphragm.
Approximate deadbands for optional diaphragms:
Viton:
Multiply Buna N value by 1.4
Teflon:
Multiply Buna N value by 1.2
Stainless Steel: Multiply Buna N value by 1.7
Monel:
Multiply Buna N value by 1.7
3. Deadbands for LPA, LDA, GPA, and GDA are
adjustable between the values shown.
4. Deadbands for LPS, LPD, LDS, LDD, and GPS, GPD, GDS,
GDD models are fixed within the range of values shown.
5. Deadbands given are for zero static working pressure.
