What Crystal Engineering Corp does

Crystal Engineering Corp, founded in 1985 and headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California, designs and manufactures high-accuracy digital pressure gauges, pressure calibrators, deadweight testers, and related test instruments. The company operates as a heritage brand within AMETEK Sensors, Test & Calibration (STC), alongside sister brands Mansfield & Green and JOFRA, under the umbrella of AMETEK Inc., a publicly traded diversified industrial conglomerate listed on the NYSE (ticker: AME). Its product portfolio spans digital pressure gauges with Bluetooth and data-logging capability (e.g., XP3i), dry block and liquid bath temperature calibrators (PTCt Series, RTCt, RTC-168), pressure recorders, transducers and transmitters, analog gauges, pump systems, and calibration, logging, and configuration software. Customers operate across oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, power and energy, water and wastewater, maritime, and chemical and plastics verticals, where traceable calibration is a regulatory or safety requirement.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales of precision instrumentation, distributed globally through AMETEK's direct sales offices, an international distributor network, and a registered-user web portal that supports documentation access, firmware downloads, and RMA requests. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a quote-based engagement model consistent with engineered industrial equipment sales. Marketing emphasizes thought leadership via a knowledge hub, application notes, case studies, and training videos, supported by LinkedIn and YouTube (AMETEK TCI channel) presence. Crystal Engineering does not publish standalone financials; its commercial results roll up into AMETEK STC, and the company's strategic direction is set within the parent conglomerate's broader test, measurement, and calibration strategy.

Core offering

Crystal Engineering Corp designs, manufactures, and supplies high-technology digital pressure calibrators and digital test gauges, alongside temperature calibrators, deadweight testers, pressure transducers and transmitters, multifunction process calibrators, multi-scanners, pump systems, and calibration/logging/configuration software. Products serve precise measurement and calibration of pressure, temperature, and process signals for industrial customers, with field-rated Bluetooth and data-logging capabilities for hazardous-area use.

Product overview

Crystal Engineering Corp is a sub-brand under AMETEK Sensors, Test & Calibration (STC), operating as part of a comprehensive portfolio of calibration instruments. The company offers a unified platform approach spanning three core measurement domains: pressure (including XP3i Digital Pressure Gauge, deadweight testers, pressure calibrators, recorders, transducers, and analog gauges), temperature (including RTCt and PTCt Series temperature calibrators, reference sensors, indicators, and thermowells), and process signals (including multifunction calibrators and multi-scanners). These are complemented by pump systems (pneumatic and hydraulic hand pumps, pressure comparators and fittings) and software solutions (calibration, logging, and configuration software). Crystal Engineering, along with sister brands Mansfield & Green and JOFRA, serves industries including oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, power and energy, water/wastewater, maritime, chemical, and plastics.
