Measurement Specialties Announces Agreement with Mykrolis to
Supply Pressure Transducers 


FAIRFIELD, N.J., Feb. 17  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Measurement Specialties,
Inc. (AMEX:MSS) and Mykrolis Corporation (NYSE: MYK; Billerica, MA) have
announced a sourcing agreement in which Measurement Specialties will
manufacture the Mykrolis SolidSense(R) II pressure transducers which are used
in high-purity semiconductor manufacturing.

According to Tom Scarborough, Product Manager at Mykrolis, the combination of
Mykrolis' proprietary high-purity absolute pressure design and the MSS
Microfused(TM) sensor technology will provide Mykrolis's customers with
superior performance and value.

"The improved long-term stability of the transducer reduces the need for
adjustments and preventative maintenance, eliminating downtime for our
customers," said Scarborough.

"This has been an ideal relationship for MSS from the very start," noted Glen
MacGibbon, Director of Global Sales and Marketing.  "By working with an
established leader in the semiconductor industry, we have been able to address
the needs of a new market by exploiting one of our core sensing technologies.
From a manufacturing perspective, the product is synergistic with existing
production lines and offers significant opportunity in the future.  This is a
good example of a partnership yielding a win-win for supplier and customer."

Mykrolis and MSS are evaluating other opportunities where their technologies
are synergistic and may yield future benefits.

Mykrolis develops and manufactures liquid and gas delivery systems, components
and consumables used to precisely measure, deliver, control and purify the
liquids and gases used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. In addition,
the company's products are used to manufacture a range of other products, such
as flat panel displays, high purity chemicals, photoresists, solar cells, gas
lasers, optical and magnetic storage devices and fiber optic cables.

Measurement Specialties, Inc. designs and manufactures sensors and sensor-based
consumer products.  The Sensor division, also known as MSI Sensors, produces a
