And in Lists

[Red5]

A webpage I'm working on currently has the following phrase included in it, and I'm not too sure that it's correct:

... is a quality and service oriented manufacturer of pressure and temperature test and measuring equipment for all applications.

Basically, it is describing three kinds of equipment:

pressure test
temperature test
measuring equipment

How would you punctuate and/or rewrite this?

I read that as two types: equipment that tests and measures temperature and equipment that tests and measures pressure.

Were it two types, I would write:

is a quality and service oriented manufacturer of equipment that tests and measures temperature or pressure for all applications.

If there are three types (what does the measuring equipment measure?), I would write:

is a quality and service oriented manufacturer of pressure and temperature testing equipment and of measuring equipment for all applications.

That doesn't tell me what the measuring equipment measures, however.

Maybe it measures testing equipment. ;)

Thanks for your help Mike. It turns out that you were correct; there were two types of equipment, not three.
