AP Series Specification Conflict Register
The Applied Physics public catalog contains multiple generations of AP Series data. Hiding the conflicts would create short-term marketing convenience and long-term technical risk. This register makes the discrepancies explicit and establishes a source-of-truth hierarchy.
Known public-data conflicts
| Model | Current catalog signal | Conflict or caution | Controlling evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP30 | The current catalog summary identifies AP30 as an active self-pressurized platform with dual 80 mm outputs. | The same product page contains an older 4.3 m³/min statement and calls AP30 a successor to AP35. The portfolio strategy rejects universal replacement language because AP30 and AP35 remain distinct architectures. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP35 | The current catalog classifies AP35 under Passive Dewar LN₂ Foggers and describes a 35 L dewar-style system. | The page body also publishes approximately 5 m³/min and 20–30 ft. Treat distance and output as quotation-controlled because the public record contains multiple generations of data. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP50 | The current catalog summary identifies AP50 as an active self-pressurized LN₂ system with dual 80 mm outputs. | Older body copy on the same page references 7.1 m³/min. Require the current product sheet and quotation to control procurement and protocol values. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP95 | The current catalog identifies AP95 as a 95 L dewar-style passive system with dual 80 mm outlets. | Use the public values for planning only. Exact runtime, fill procedure, output range and delivered configuration must be confirmed in the current quote and manual. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP100 | The current product header identifies AP100 as an active self-pressurized system and publishes approximately 20–21 m³/min. | The product body and bundle pages retain approximately 15.5 m³/min and 30–40 ft. The site surfaces both rather than cherry-picking the larger figure. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP175 | The public catalog describes AP175 as a passive dewar-style system positioned between AP100 and AP200. | Production status, exact configuration and lead time should be confirmed directly. Do not assume every publicly indexed model is continuously stocked. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
| AP200 | The current catalog taxonomy places AP200 in the active self-pressurized family. Current localized headers publish approximately 40–42 m³/min. | The body copy retains approximately 28.6 m³/min. Require an approved product sheet, factory acceptance criterion and quotation-controlled configuration. | Quotation + approved product sheet + model manual |
Source-of-truth hierarchy
- Signed quotation and approved configuration schedule
- Current model-specific product sheet and revision-controlled manual
- Factory acceptance test or documented performance evidence
- Current web product summary
- Legacy body copy, archived tables and reseller pages
Why this improves the brand
A manufacturer gains authority by correcting its own record, not by repeating the largest number found on an old page. This register supports sales, SEO and AI visibility because it makes entity relationships and product distinctions clearer while preventing downstream sites from amplifying obsolete data.
Do not put a disputed output, distance, runtime, tank size or warranty duration into a regulated protocol until Applied Physics confirms the exact configuration in writing.
