Company Profile

The Televac division of the Fredericks Company has been a leading manufacturer of vacuum measurement instruments and sensors for over 63 years. Since its modest beginnings in the early 1940s, Televac has maintained a strong market-driven response to the needs of its customers – an attribute that has allowed the company to successfully address an impressive scope of applications in a diverse range of industrial and research markets throughout the world and win the company high marks for customer service.

Electron Technologies, Inc.; the renowned manufacturer of glass envelope and nude ionization gauges, became a sister division to Televac nearly a decade ago. The acquisition of ETI brought important new technology to bear and opened new markets for Televac. The marriage of these two divisions proves that the result can be greater than the sum of the component pieces.

The Fredericks Company; parent organization to both Televac and ETI, is an ISO 9001:2000 high technology firm, specializing in precision level sensing. All design, engineering, manufacturing and support facilities are located in Huntingdon Valley, PA.

Company Key Products

While Televac and ETI offer many sound and innovative products, a few of these stand out as being especially useful:

• CC-10 Wide Range Gauge - Continuous measurement from atmospheric pressure to ultra high vacuum from a single port. Ideal for PVD applications.
• MC300/Miniature Bayard-Alpert Measurement System – A low cost/high performance instrument system. This is the perfect solution for budget-driven vacuum system retrofit applications.
• VacuGuard Instrument – A versatile battery-operated instrument that enables users to make ‘on the fly’ measurements of pumps equipped with thermocouple sensors.
• Tensioned filament Bayard-Alpert sensors – They’ll outlive and outperform non-tensioned sensors, mak ing the tensioned filament model a far superior value.
