E36W Series Absolute Pressure Switch Q & A

+What is an absolute pressure switch and how does the E36W Series work?
An absolute pressure switch measures pressure relative to a perfect vacuum (0 Torr), rather than atmospheric pressure. The E36W Series uses an internal vacuum reference to provide stable and accurate switching, making it ideal for environments where atmospheric pressure changes could affect performance.
+What industries commonly use the E36W Series?

The E36W Series is widely used in industries that require high purity and precise pressure control, including:

  • Semiconductor manufacturing 
  • Specialty and high purity gas delivery systems 
  • Laboratory and analytical instrumentation 
  • OEM process equipment 
+Why choose an absolute pressure switch over a gauge pressure switch?
Absolute pressure switches like the E36W Series are not influenced by changes in barometric pressure. This makes them the better choice for high-precision applications, such as semiconductor manufacturing and analytical systems, where even small pressure variations can impact results.
+What makes the E36W Series suitable for high purity gas applications?

The E36W Series is built with 316L stainless steel wetted parts and a hermetically sealed, welded design. This construction minimizes contamination risk and ensures compatibility with ultra-clean gas systems used in sensitive processes.

+Does the E36W Series require calibration or field adjustment?

No. The E36W Series is factory calibrated and sealed, meaning it does not require field adjustment. This tamper-resistant design helps maintain consistent performance and reduces maintenance over the life of the device.
