Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Effective January1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R retains the underlying concepts of SFAS No.141 Business Combinations, but changes the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. SFAS 141R is effective on a prospective basis for all acquisitions on or after January1, 2009. SFAS 141R amends SFAS No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141R would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141R. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, depending on the nature of an acquisition or the quantity of acquisitions entered into after the adoption, SFAS 141R may significantly impact the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and result in more earnings volatility and generally lower earnings due to, among other items, the expensing of transaction costs and restructuring costs of acquired companies. In April2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS No.157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. This FSP is applied prospectively with retrospective application not permitted. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In April2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP amends SFAS No.115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS No.124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. This FSP replaces the existing requirement that the entitys management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is more

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	3. Fair Value Measurement SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company adopted SFAS 157 as of January1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which was delayed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) FASB Staff Position No.157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.157 to fiscal years beginning after November15, 2008, which the Company adopted January1, 2009. SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted)in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Companys own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At June30, 2009, $15.3million of the Companys cash and cash equivalents as well as $5.5 million of marketable securities are valued as level 1 investments. In addition, the Company held $8.9million valued as level 2 investments in the investments and other assets line of the consolidated balance sheet. For the six months ended June30, 2009, gains and losses on the investments noted above were not material.

Hedging Activities [Abstract]
Hedging Activities	4. Hedging Activities In March2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide enhanced disclosure about how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how the instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), and how the instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the entity. The Company has designated certain foreign-currency-denominated long-term debt as hedges of the net investment in certain foreign operations. These net investment hedges are the Companys British-pound-denominated long-term debt and Euro-denominated long-term debt, pertaining to certain European acquisitions whose functional currencies are either the British pound or the Euro. These acquisitions were financed by foreign-currency-denominated borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility and subsequently refinanced with long-term private placement debt. These borrowings were designed to create net investment hedges in each of the foreign subsidiaries on their respective dates of acquisition. SFAS 133 permits hedging the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. In accordance with SFAS 133, on the respective dates of acquisition, the Company designated the British pound- and Euro-denominated loans referred to above as hedging instruments to offset foreign exchange gains or losses on the net investment in the acquired business due to changes in the British pound and Euro exchange rates. These net investment hedges were evidenced by managements documentation supporting the contemporaneous hedge designation on the acquisition dates. As required by SFAS 133, any gain or loss on the hedging instrument following hedge designation (the debt), is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in the same manner as the translation adjustment on the investment based on changes in the spot rate, which is used to measure hedge effectiveness. At June30, 2009, the Company had $148.1million of British pound-denominated loans, which are designated as a hedge against the net investment in foreign subsidiaries acquired in 2004 and 2003. At June30, 2009, the Company had $70.1million of Euro-denominated loans, which were designated as a hedge against the net investment in a foreign subsidiary acquired in 2005. As a result of these British pound- and Euro-denominated loans being designated and effective as net investment hedges, $17.0million of currency losses have been included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income at June30, 2009.

Restructuring Charges And Asset Write Downs [Abstract]
Fourth Quarter of 2008 Restructuring Charges and Asset Write-Downs	6. Fourth Quarter of 2008 Restructuring Charges and Asset Write-Downs During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $40.0 million, which had the effect of reducing net income by $27.3million ($0.25 per diluted share). These charges included restructuring costs for employee reductions and facility closures ($32.6 million), as well as asset write-downs ($7.4million). The charges included $30.1million for severance costs for slightly more than 10% of the Companys workforce and $1.5million for lease termination costs associated with the closure of certain facilities in 2009. Of the $40.0million in charges, $32.9million of the restructuring charges and asset write-downs were recorded in cost of sales and $7.1million of the restructuring charges and asset write-downs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. The restructuring charges and asset write-downs were reported in segment operating income as follows: $20.4million in Electronic Instruments (EIG), $19.4million in Electromechanical (EMG) and $0.2million in Corporate administrative and other expenses. The restructuring costs for employee reductions and facility closures relate to plans established by the Company in 2008 as part of cost reduction initiatives being broadly implemented across the Companys various businesses during fiscal 2009. The restructuring costs resulted from the consolidation of manufacturing facilities, the migration of production to low cost locales and a general reduction in workforce in response to lower levels of expected sales volumes in certain of the Companys businesses. Substantially all of the payments for employee severance and lease termination costs are expected to be made in 2009. The following table provides a rollforward of the accruals established in the fourth quarter of 2008 for restructuring charges (in millions): Restructuring accruals at December31, 2008 $ 31.6 Utilization (10.3 ) Foreign currency translation and other 0.1 Restructuring accruals at June30, 2009 $ 21.4 The fourth quarter of 2008 severance charge was recorded in accordance with SFAS No.112, Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits (SFAS 112). SFAS 112 is applicable to all types of postemployment benefits, which constitute an ongoing benefit arrangement, including, but not limited to, salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, job training, counseling and continuation of benefits such as health care benefits and life insurance coverage. Under SFAS 112, costs associated with such ongoing benefit arrangements are recorded no later than the period when it becomes probable that the costs will be incurred and the costs are reasonably estimable.

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	7. Acquisitions The Company spent approximately $40.2million in cash, net of cash acquired, to acquire High Standard Aviation in January2009. High Standard Aviation is a provider of electrical and electromechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic repair services to the aerospace industry. High Standard Aviation is part of AMETEKs Electromechanical Group. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 141R. Accordingly, the operating results of the above acquisition has been included in the Companys consolidated results from the date of acquisition. The purchase price and initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. The following table represents the provisional allocation of the aggregate purchase price for the net assets of the above acquisition based on its estimated fair value (in millions): Property, plant and equipment $ 1.6 Goodwill 10.3 Other intangible assets 22.1 Net working capital and other 6.2 Total purchase price $ 40.2 The amount allocated to goodwill is reflective of the benefits the Company expects to realize from the acquisition, as High Standard Aviation broadens the global footprint of AMETEKs aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul business. The Company is in the process of conducting third-party valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired. Adjustments to the allocation of purchase price will be recorded when this information is finalized. Therefore, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to revision. Had the above acquisition been made at the beginning of 2009, pro forma net sales, net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June30, 2009 would not have been materially different than the amounts reported. Had the above acquisition and the 2008 acquisitions of Drake Air and Motion Control Group in February2008, Reading Alloys in April2008, Vision Research, Inc. in June2008, the programmable power business of Xantrex Technology, Inc. in August2008 and Muirhead Aerospace Limited in November2008 been made at the beginning of 2008, unaudited pro forma net sales, net income and diluted earnings per share would have been as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 June 30, 2008 (In millions, except per share amounts) Net sales $ 703.1 $ 1,393.6 Net income $ 68.2 $ 137.2 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.63 $ 1.28 Pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of 2008.

Share Based Compensation Disclosure [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	12. Share-Based Compensation The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model to estimate the fair values of options granted during the period indicated: Six Months Ended Year Ended June 30, 2009 December 31, 2008 Expected stock volatility 25.8 % 18.4 % Expected life of the options (years) 4.9 4.7 Risk-free interest rate 1.89 % 2.60 % Expected dividend yield 0.73 % 0.49 % Black-Scholes-Merton fair value per option granted $ 7.80 $ 9.58 Expected stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. The Company used historical exercise data to estimate the options expected life, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. Management anticipates that the future option holding periods will be similar to the historical option holding periods. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant. Compensation expense recognized for all share-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures. The Companys estimated forfeiture rates are based on its historical experience. Total share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No.123(R), Share-Based Payment, was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2009 2008 2009 2008 (In thousands) Stock option expense $ 1,847 $ 1,811 $ 3,133 $ 3,238 Restricted stock expense* 1,711 9,319 3,140 11,055 Total pre-tax expense 3,558 11,130 6,273 14,293 Related tax benefit (1,088 ) (1,393 ) (1,928 ) (2,209 ) Reduction of net income $ 2,470 $ 9,737 $ 4,345 $ 12,084 * The three and six months ended June30, 2008 reflect the accelerated vesting of a restricted stock grant in the second quarter of 2008 as described below. Pre-tax share-based compensation expense is included in either cost of sales, or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on where the recipients cash compensation is reported. A summary of the Companys stock option activity and related information for the six months ended June30, 2009 were as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Aggregate Average Remaining Intrinsic Shares Exercise Price Contractual Life Value (In thousands) (Years) (In millions) Outstanding at the beginning of the year 4,035 $ 28.01 Granted 1,318 32.71 Exercised (403 ) 14.57 Forfeited (96 ) 40.01 Outstanding at the end of the period 4,854

Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	15. Financial Instruments The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments are compared below to the recorded amounts at June30, 2009 and December31, 2008. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are recorded at fair value at June30, 2009 and December31, 2008 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Asset (Liability) June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 Recorded Amount Fair Value Recorded Amount Fair Value (In thousands) Fixed-income investments $ 8,578 $ 8,578 $ 8,248 $ 8,248 Short-term borrowings (4,218 ) (4,218 ) (16,028 ) (16,028 ) Long-term debt (including current portion) (1,054,778 ) (1,054,778 ) (1,095,653 ) (1,095,653 ) The fair value of fixed-income investments is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of short-term borrowings approximates the carrying value. The Companys long-term debt is all privately-held with no public market for this debt. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of this privately-held debt as pricing estimates are contingent upon many financial market, as well as Company specific factors. In conjunction, these factors can produce a wide variance of indicative pricing.
