A semiconductor firm needed a better pressure sensor for its ultra-pure gas lines. They’d been using WIKA sensors. But long lead times and high costs held them back.
Then they switched to our PK40X high purity pressure sensor.
Faster Delivery, Lower Costs
The change made a big difference.
- Lead time dropped from 3 months to 45 days.
- Costs fell by 22%.
Best of all? The PK40X fit their needs perfectly.
Customized to Perfection
The company had unique needs. They needed a 9/16-18UNF external thread for their pipes. We customized the PK40X to match 1.
No extra setup. No delays. It worked right away.
The Client’s Take
“The PK40X isn’t just a WIKA alternative. It’s better,” said their engineer.
“SEMI standard cleanliness, low leakage (≤1×10⁻¹⁰ kPa·L/s) — it meets our ultra-pure environment needs 2. And the custom service? Game-changing.”
Zero failures since installation. Production downtime is down by 30%.
Why PK40X Stands Out
- Made with 316L VIM/VAR material. EP surface treatment (Ra≤0.13μm) 34.
- 100% nitrogen leak tested. Vacuum-packed in a Class 100 cleanroom 56.
- Handles corrosive gases and ultra-pure environments 7.
