Where you’ll find Ashcroft instruments
Customers use Ashcroft products in many hydrogen systems and processes because they trust their safe and reliable performance.
Petroleum Refining - Hydrocracking
Fuel Cells & Fueling Stations
Semiconductor Manufacturing
Fertilizer and Ammonia Production

Hydrocracking is a two-stage process that combines catalytic cracking and hydrogenation to process feedstocks that are challenging for traditional catalytic cracking or reforming. Operating under high pressure and high temperature with hydrogen and a catalyst, this process takes place in hazardous environments. Ashcroft offers pressure instruments that meet explosion-proof, intrinsically safe or non-incendive hazardous location approvals, making them ideal for these applications.

Hydrogen powers fuel cells and fueling stations by reacting with oxygen to produce electricity—emitting only water. It’s produced via electrolysis, compressed, and stored for delivery at 350 or 700 bar. Ashcroft’s pressure and temperature instruments ensure system accuracy and safety throughout production, storage, and fueling, supporting clean energy for vehicles and backup power applications.

Hydrogen is utilized in semiconductor manufacturing
primarily for its reducing or oxygen scavenging properties. It is also an extremely effective heat transfer fluid, which is an advantageous property in some operations. Some of the semiconductor manufacturing operations in which it is used include: semiconductor sintering, semiconductor packaging and wafer annealing.

Hydrogen is essential in fertilizer and ammonia production, serving as a feedstock in the Haber-Bosch process, which synthesizes ammonia to deliver nitrogen to crops. The reaction uses an iron catalyst under high pressure to boost yield. For reliable operation, choose pressure and temperature instruments with high-pressure capability, corrosion resistance and long-term stability to ensure safety and process efficiency.
