What Mensor does

Mensor LP, founded in 1969 in Houston, Texas and relocated to San Marcos in 1978, designs and manufactures high-accuracy pressure and temperature calibration instruments for industrial, medical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, oil and gas, power, and metrology customers. The company operates from a 45,000 sq. ft. facility housing all manufacturing, engineering, accounting, and sales functions, with product accuracies ranging from 0.008% FS to 0.025% FS on pressure instruments and sub-ppm (less than ±20 ppb) on its flagship CTR9000 resistance thermometry bridge. Core technologies include premium silicon pressure sensors, IntelliScale percent-of-reading accuracy, SMART probes with embedded calibration memory, and AC bridge thermometry.

The product portfolio spans precision pressure transducers (CPT series), pressure controllers (CPC series), digital pressure gauges (CPG series), deadweight testers and primary standards (CPD/CPB series), portable process calibrators (CPH series), and a temperature line covering reference thermometers, hand-held units, dry-well calibrators, and resistance thermometry bridges (CTR/CTH/CTP series). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of these instruments supplemented by A2LA-accredited, NIST-traceable calibration services for pressure, temperature, mass, and electrical quantities.

Mensor has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG since 2006 and serves as WIKA's US manufacturing center for precision pressure calibration products, with cross-brand sales of DH-Budenberg, ASL, and Scandura lines. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct phone and quote requests, with global reach through the WIKA distribution network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with custom-engineered, project-driven selling into regulated end markets.
