Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 which introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

Acquisitions	'
	Acquisitions
	All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
	2014 Acquisitions
	On April 28, 2014, the Company acquired the stock of Aegis Flow Technologies ("Aegis"), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty chemical processing valves for use in the chemical, petro-chemical, chlor-alkali, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and pulp/paper industries. Located in Geismar, Louisiana, Aegis has annual revenues of approximately $15.0 million and will operate in our Chemical, Food & Process platform within our Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. Aegis was acquired for cash consideration of approximately $25 million. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $7.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The $7.8 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
	The purchase price for Aegis has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations, as of the acquisition date, which will be adjusted as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the business becomes known. Accordingly, management has used its best estimate in the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of these financial statements.
	The allocation of the acquisition costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values, is as follows:
	Accounts receivable	$	1,147
	Inventory	6,106
	Other current assets, net of cash acquired	230
	Property, plant and equipment	3,019
	Goodwill	7,787
	Intangible assets	8,770
	Total assets acquired	27,059
	Total liabilities assumed	(1,617		)
	Net assets acquired	$	25,442
	Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business.
	The acquired intangible assets and weighted average amortization periods are as follows:
		Total			Weighted Average Life
	Trade names	$	3,304		15
	Customer relationships	4,393			14
	Unpatented technology	1,073			8
	Acquired intangible assets	$	8,770
	The Company incurred $1.5 million of acquisition-related transaction costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed. The Company incurred $1.3 million of non-cash acquisition fair value inventory charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These charges were recorded in cost of sales.
	2013 Acquisitions
	On March 18, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of FTL Seals Technology, Ltd (“FTL”). FTL specializes in the design and application of high integrity rotary seals, specialty bearings, and other custom products for the oil & gas, mining, power generation, and marine markets. Located in Leeds, England, FTL, along with Precision Polymer Engineering (“PPE”), operates within the Health & Science Technologies segment as part of the Sealing Solutions group and will expand the range of PPE’s technology expertise and markets served. FTL was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $34.5 million (£23.1 million) in cash. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $18.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The $18.0 million of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Common Share	'
	Earnings Per Common Share
	Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unvested shares, performance share units, and shares issuable in connection with certain deferred compensation agreements (“DCUs”).
	ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” provides that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company has determined that its outstanding unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. For the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Basic weighted average shares reconciles to diluted weighted average shares as follows:
		Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
		September 30,		September 30,
		2014	2013	2014	2013
	Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	79,558	81,259	80,064	81,762
	Dilutive effect of stock options, unvested shares, performance share units and DCUs	1,003	959	1,029	939
	Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	80,561	82,218	81,093	82,701
	Options to purchase approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. Options to purchase 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

	ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Annually on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The Company did not consider there to be any triggering event that would require an interim impairment assessment, therefore none of the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives were tested for impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2013, all reporting units had a fair value that was significantly in excess of carrying value, except for our IDEX Optics and Photonics ("IOP") reporting unit, which had a fair value approximately 10% greater than the carrying value. The IOP reporting unit was written down to its fair value in 2012 as a result of our annual goodwill impairment testing and, thus, the fair value continues to be near the carrying value.
	The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	Less current portion	103,250		1,871
	Total long-term borrowings	$	720,173	$	772,005
	The Company maintains a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") with a maturity date of June 27, 2016. Up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and up to $25.0 million is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.
	Proceeds from the Revolving Facility are available for working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries.
	Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. This applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at September 30, 2014, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.
	At September 30, 2014, $70.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $8.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at September 30, 2014 of approximately $621.7 million.
	At September 30, 2014, the Company included the outstanding balance of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, $102.7 million, within Current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the maturity date is June 9, 2015.
	Other borrowings of $2.4 million at September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at rates ranging from 0.3% to 1.3% per annum.
	There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and 2.58% Senior Euro Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants under these debt instruments require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments	'
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The type of cash flow hedges the Company enters into includes foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.
	The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. See Note 12 for the amount of loss reclassified into income for interest rate contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized into net income during the period of change.
	Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to sell or buy the contracts based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at each balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.
	In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate contracts in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the debt instruments. Approximately $7.1 million of the pre-tax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2014 will be recognized to net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
	•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
	The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		Basis of Fair Value Measurements
		Balance at		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

	Money market investment	$	27,871	$	27,871	$	—	$	—
	Available for sale securities	3,255		3,255		—		—
	There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2014, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Facility, 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes and 4.2% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, was approximately $851.1 million compared to the carrying value of $821.0 million. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since it is determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to ours.

	Income Taxes
	The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $29.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $22.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 29.5% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 26.3% in the third quarter of 2013 due to the recognition of discrete tax benefits in prior year and the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.
	The provision for income taxes increased to $89.3 million in the first nine months of 2014 from $72.8 million in the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 29.1% for the first nine months of 2014 compared to 27.9% in the same period of 2013 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2014 was favorably impacted by settlements with taxing authorities primarily related to purchase price adjustments for prior period acquisitions, while the comparable period tax rate in the prior year was favorably impacted by recognition of discrete benefits, as well as the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013, which reinstated the U.S. R&D credit retroactively to January 1, 2012.
	The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.0 million.

	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 which introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.
