Teledyne Hastings Instruments

What Teledyne Hastings Instruments does

Teledyne Hastings Instruments is a Hampton, Virginia-based manufacturer of thermal mass flow meters and controllers, and vacuum measurement instruments for industrial and laboratory applications. Founded around 1940 (incorporated as a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, NASDAQ: TDY), the company employs 51–100 people and operates from its headquarters and manufacturing facility at 804 Newcombe Ave. Its product portfolio centers on two technology families: thermal mass flow measurement — 200 Series analog and 300 Series digital instruments (including the Digital 300 Series / "300 Vue" line with optional IP-67 enclosure and touchscreen) covering flow ranges from 5 sccm to 15,000 SLM, with patented sensor technology (US Patent #6,125,695) using a thermal-conductivity Wheatstone-bridge principle; and vacuum measurement — HVG-2020B combination Pirani/piezoresistive gauges, the compact HVG-PR OEM Pirani gauge, DV-5/DV-6 thermocouple gauge tubes (including ruggedized MIL-STD variants for cryogenic transport), DCVT/DAVC vacuum controllers, and HPM handheld gauges. Supporting products include THCD power supplies, free DisplayX and Mass Flow Converter software, and certified LabVIEW drivers.

The company serves industrial OEMs, aviation manufacturers and MRO teams (leak testing of pressurization, fuel, oxygen, and fire-suppression systems), semiconductor and thin-film process users, metallurgy/heat-treatment operations, HVAC/refrigeration and freeze-drying operators, and cryogenic mobile-vessel applications. It sells through a direct sales motion (phone, email, website LiveChat) and an e-commerce storefront, complemented by a network of authorized service partners — notably InfoRAD Corp. in Korea/Asia-Pacific (since 2003) and Shanghai JeeGa Industrial in China/HK/Macau (since 2014) — which provide calibration, repair, and local stocking. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of flow and vacuum instruments plus recurring factory-authorized calibration and repair services; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed, though third-party market references suggest premium sanitary-grade thermal mass flow meters carry $4,000–$8,000 unit pricing in biopharmaceutical applications. As a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, the company does not disclose standalone financials and is not a standalone investable entity.
