Watch the video to see the real-life benefits of the Plus! Dampening technology
The technology utilises a unique cartridge to surround the pinion with an engineering dampening agent to dynamically dampen the pointer and movement, thereby providing a dry gauge wich acts as liquid-filled. The new Ashcroft T5500 Plus! Overcomes the problems associated with liquid-filled gauges….

I have been using a number of manufacturers pressure gauges for a while throughout my career, and always struggled with getting an accurate reading. In the application i was using, the Glycerin filled pressure gauges were not really economical either as they needed replacing every few years due to bubbles appearing in the fluid.
Having used a couple of the Ashcroft T5500 Plus gauges with the Liquid less damping system, I can confirm that they are much better in every way than the gauges i used to use. They are easy to read, they are accurate and most importantly, they are economical and last at least 100% longer than the Glycerin filled units.
Excellent demonstration video, the benefits of the T5500 Plus system can easily be seen and as a user, I would recommend them to anybody.
