Industrial Measuring & Controlling Instruments in Pakistan
When a process goes wrong inside a chemical plant, a pharmaceutical line, or a water treatment facility, it rarely announces itself. A pressure that crept too high. A temperature that drifted past its safe window. A tank level nobody noticed until it was too late. That’s exactly what precise industrial measuring instruments are designed to prevent.
At SS Hussain & Sons, we’ve been supplying Pakistan’s process industries with reliable measurement and control instruments for over 25 years — from our base in Karachi to clients across the country. Whether you’re running a refinery in Karachi, a pharmaceutical factory in Lahore, or a food processing plant in Faisalabad, getting accurate readings from your instruments isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of safe, compliant, and cost-efficient operations.
Our range covers every core measurement parameter your facility needs: pressure, temperature, flow, and level — backed by globally recognized brands like WIKA, Ashcroft, Kipinago, True Teller, and Marshall Town.
Pressure Measuring Instruments
Pressure is one of the most critical variables in industrial process control. An unchecked over-pressure situation can damage equipment, halt production, or in worst cases, create a safety hazard for your workforce.
SS Hussain stocks a comprehensive range of pressure instruments suited for everything from standard factory use to demanding high-temperature or corrosive media applications.
Pressure Gauges
From Bourdon tube analog gauges to stainless steel and digital models, we carry gauges for every application. Ashcroft pressure gauges are among the most trusted in the world, known for their durability in harsh industrial environments. WIKA pressure gauges — the global benchmark for process plant accuracy — are equally available in our range. Whether you need a standard dry gauge, a glycerine-filled gauge for vibration-prone applications, or a sanitary gauge for food or pharma lines, we have it.
Pressure Transmitters
For processes where you need to feed real-time pressure data into a PLC, DCS, or SCADA system, pressure transmitters are the right instrument. We supply transmitters producing standard 4–20mA outputs, making integration into your control system straightforward.
Pressure Switches
When you need an automatic alert or control action triggered at a set pressure point — shutting down a pump, triggering an alarm, or starting a backup system — pressure switches do the job reliably. Our range includes models rated for liquids, gases, and steam.
Diaphragm Seals
Indispensable when your process media is aggressive, viscous, high-temperature, or prone to clogging. A diaphragm seal isolates your pressure instrument from direct contact with the media, dramatically extending its service life. WIKA and Ashcroft diaphragm seals are available as direct-mount or capillary configurations.
Temperature Measuring Instruments
Temperature control sits at the heart of quality in almost every manufacturing process. Incorrect temperatures in pharmaceutical production can compromise batch integrity. In food processing, they’re a food safety issue. In chemical reactors, they’re a risk factor that can’t be ignored.
Our industrial temperature instruments are built for process environments — not laboratory benches.
Dial Thermometers
Simple, robust, and easy to read at a glance. Our bimetallic dial thermometers come in both analog and digital variants, with stem lengths and connection types to suit your installation. Ideal for tanks, pipelines, and vessels where a quick local temperature readout is all you need.
Thermometers with Switch Contacts
These take temperature measurement one step further. When the process temperature hits a set threshold, the built-in switch contact activates — triggering alarms, shutting off heating elements, or starting cooling circuits automatically. Widely used in chemical processing, hot utility systems, and any application where temperature limits must be enforced without manual monitoring.
We carry temperature instruments from WIKA and Ashcroft, available with various process connections (thermowell compatible) and temperature ranges.
Flow Measuring Instruments
Knowing how much fluid — liquid, gas, or vapor — is moving through your pipelines at any given moment is essential for process control, billing, batch accuracy, and loss prevention.
Non-invasive measurement with no moving parts, ideal for clean liquids and applications where you can’t interrupt the line. Great for water and HVAC circuits.
Oval Gear Flow Meters
A positive displacement technology delivering high accuracy for viscous fluids like oils, chemicals, and fuels. Popular in the petroleum and lubricant sectors.
Vortex Flow Meters
Suited for steam, gas, and liquid applications in process plants where you need a robust, low-maintenance solution.
Diesel Flow Meters
Specifically designed for accurate fuel monitoring in generator facilities, depots, and fleet operations across Pakistan.
These instruments let you move away from estimation and operate on real data — reducing waste, preventing theft, and optimizing consumption.
Level Measuring Instruments
Whether you’re managing inventory in storage tanks or controlling the level of hazardous liquids in a process vessel, accurate level measurement protects both your operations and your people.
Guided Wave Radar Level Meters
Among the most reliable level technologies available, especially effective for liquids with low dielectric constants, turbulent surfaces, or foaming conditions. Suitable for tall vessels, high-pressure environments, and aggressive media.
High Frequency Radar Level Meters
Non-contact radar sensors that measure level from above the vessel without touching the media. Excellent for solids (powders, granules) as well as liquids. Ideal where hygiene or contamination concerns rule out contact-type sensors.
Ultrasonic Level Meters
A cost-effective non-contact solution for open channels and standard tanks. Works well for water, wastewater, and non-aggressive liquids.
ATWLM Water Level Meters
Purpose-built for groundwater wells, boreholes, and reservoirs. Widely used in water sector projects and industrial water supply management.
Tuning Fork Level Switches
Compact and highly reliable point-level detection devices. Used for high or low level alarms in tanks containing liquids or fine solids. No moving parts means virtually zero maintenance requirements.
Instruments You Can Trust — From Brands That Prove It
Choosing an industrial instrument isn’t just about the spec sheet. It’s about whether that device will still be giving you accurate readings two years from now, in a harsh environment, without costing you a weekend of downtime to service.
WIKA
A German-engineered brand synonymous with precision pressure and temperature measurement worldwide. WIKA instruments are found in refineries, petrochemical plants, and pharmaceutical facilities across over 100 countries. In Pakistan, they remain the benchmark for process instrumentation quality.
Ashcroft
With over 165 years of engineering heritage, Ashcroft is one of the oldest names in pressure measurement. Their gauges and switches are trusted in the most demanding applications — from high-purity pharmaceutical processes to rugged oil field environments.
Kipinago & True Teller
Reliable choices for cost-conscious buyers who still need consistent, industrial-grade accuracy. Popular in Pakistan’s general manufacturing and utility sectors.
Marshall Town
Well-regarded for industrial measurement applications where robustness and value matter.
