About




Phaostron specializes in the development and manufacture of highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art instrumentation, measurement and control devices for every conceivable type of military and commercial application. Evolving from a product line of quality photographic exposure meters, over 60 years ago, Phaostron's product expansion has grown to include instruments, indicators, sensors and controls for use in military and commercial airplanes, helicopters, ships, tanks and ground support equipment.
Our quality products are performing every day in ships, tanks, laboratories and aircraft throughout the world. Today's products must not only be extremely sensitive and accurate, but also be able to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, from the intense heat and sand of desert operations, to extreme colds and pressure on the opposite extreme. For over six decades, Phaostron products have met the highest standards for durability, accuracy, sensitivity and longterm reliability.
The Phaostron production team consistently delivers products to meet the most stringent instrumentation sensor and meter requirements. Our delivery consistently runs over 99%. Phaostron's primary facility provides state-of-the-art design and testing capabilities. Computerized design and documentation tools allow our engineering staff to quickly respond to the most challenging specifications. Our facility, located 12 miles east of Pasadena, California, efficiently houses all aspects of our corporate, administrative, manufacturing and testing functions.
Because all of Phaostron's operations are housed under one roof, we are able to guarantee a coordinated and highly efficient oversight of your project. From the initial specs and design phase all the way through the manufacture, testing and on-time delivery of the finished product, we guarantee customer satisfaction. Our experienced engineers customize devices to meet customer needs. Our methods continually keep pace with changing technologies. We offer:
• Computerized Design — 3-D CAD for CAD/CAE/CIM
• Documentation and Control per Mil-Std-100 and DOD-1000
Every product is environmentally tested to guarantee that the instruments, sensors and control devices can survive the harshest and most varied conditions possible. In our facility we test for:
• Vibration (Sinusoidal and Random)
• Temperature
• Altitude
• Salt Fog
• Acceleration
• Reliability
• NVG/NVIS Light Levels and Chromaticity
