<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>AMETEK ACHIEVES RECORD QUARTERLY RESULTS<BR>
&#151;Net Income Rises 27%&#151;</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Paoli, PA, July&nbsp;20, 2005 &#151; AMETEK Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced second quarter results that
established quarterly records for sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per
share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">AMETEK&#146;s second quarter 2005 sales of $352.1&nbsp;million were up 16% from the $303.9&nbsp;million recorded
in the second quarter of 2004. Operating income for the second quarter of 2005 was $60.8&nbsp;million,
up 28% from the second quarter of 2004. Net income of $35.2&nbsp;million was up 27% from last year&#146;s
second quarter and diluted earnings per share were $.50 per share, up 25% over the same quarter of
last year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;Excellent internal growth, operational improvements and contributions from acquisitions drove
AMETEK&#146;s strong performance. As a result, we established records for sales and earnings, with group
operating margins expanding 170 basis points,&#148; commented Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">For the first half of 2005, AMETEK sales increased 15% to $686.1&nbsp;million from $595.3&nbsp;million in the
same period of 2004. Operating income totaled $115.8&nbsp;million, a 27% increase from $91.0&nbsp;million
earned in the first half of last year. Net income for the first half of 2005 was $67.2&nbsp;million, up
28% from $52.3&nbsp;million in the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were up 25% to $.95
per share for the first half of 2005.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)</B>
<BR>
EIG&#146;s second quarter 2005 sales were $191.4&nbsp;million, up 20% from last year&#146;s level of $159.5
million. Second quarter group operating income was up 44% to $40.2&nbsp;million, versus $28.0&nbsp;million
in the same period of 2004. Group operating margins were 21.0%, up from 17.6% in the second
quarter of 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;EIG had a tremendous quarter,&#148; noted Mr.&nbsp;Hermance. &#147;Revenue for the Group was up 20% driven by
strength in our aerospace and process businesses as well as contributions from acquisitions.
Operating income jumped 44%, driven by the top-line strength and broad-based operating
improvements.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Electromechanical Group (EMG)</B>
<BR>
EMG&#146;s sales of $160.7&nbsp;million were up 11% from $144.4&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2004.
Second quarter group operating income of $27.6&nbsp;million was up 10%, versus $25.0&nbsp;million reported
for the same period of 2004. EMG&#146;s operating income margin in the second quarter of 2005 was
17.2%, up 110 basis points sequentially and essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2004.

<BR>
<B>PAGE 2</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;EMG also had a strong quarter as good core growth, combined with the contribution from the
Hughes-Treitler acquisition, resulted in double-digit sales and profit increases,&#148; added Mr.
Hermance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>2005 Outlook</B>
<BR>
&#147;For 2005 we expect a low double-digit percentage increase in revenue on solid internal growth in
each of our two groups and the full-year benefits from our SPECTRO, Taylor Hobson and
Hughes-Treitler acquisitions,&#148; commented Mr.&nbsp;Hermance. &#147;We now expect 2005 earnings to be near the
high end of our previous guidance range of $1.90 to $1.97 per diluted share.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;For the third quarter of 2005 we expect a low double-digit percentage increase in sales from last
year&#146;s third quarter on internal growth in both segments and the contribution from the acquisitions
of SPECTRO and Hughes-Treitler. We expect our earnings to be between $.48 and $.50 per diluted
share, an increase of 14% to 19% over last year&#146;s third quarter,&#148; noted Mr.&nbsp;Hermance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>AMETEK Acquires SPECTRO Analytical Instruments</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">As previously announced, on June&nbsp;13, 2005, AMETEK acquired SPECTRO Beteiligungs GmbH (&#147;SPECTRO&#148;),
the holding company of SPECTRO Analytical Instruments GmbH &#038; Co KG and its affiliates. SPECTRO is
a leading global supplier of atomic spectroscopy analytical instrumentation. SPECTRO was acquired
from an investor group led by German Equity Partners BV for approximately <FONT face="'Times New Roman',times,serif">&#128;</FONT>80&nbsp;million ($98
million). With its headquarters in Kleve, Germany, SPECTRO has annual sales of approximately <FONT face="'Times New Roman',times,serif">&#128;</FONT>85
million ($104&nbsp;million).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">SPECTRO designs, manufactures, and services a broad array of atomic spectroscopic instrumentation
used to analyze the elemental composition of solids and liquids. Using optical emission or energy
dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) measurement techniques, SPECTRO&#146;s instruments address the
analysis requirements of a variety of end markets, including metal production and processing,
environmental testing, hydrocarbon processing, aerospace, food processing, and pharmaceutical.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">&#147;We are very excited about the acquisition of SPECTRO,&#148; commented Mr.&nbsp;Hermance. &#147;SPECTRO is a
highly differentiated business, which significantly expands our elemental analysis capabilities,
bringing new technologies and market opportunities to AMETEK. With this acquisition, our high-end
analytical businesses now total nearly $375&nbsp;million in annual revenue.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><I>&#147;</I>SPECTRO holds a leading market position for metal analyzers, employing Arc/Spark optical emission
spectrometry &#151; a technique widely regarded as the most precise and reliable measurement for this
market. SPECTRO&#146;s Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)&nbsp;optical emission spectrometers also bring to
AMETEK the capability to make analytical liquids analysis, opening new measurement opportunities

complement those manufactured by our EDAX business, enabling AMETEK to supply a broader range of
products to this very attractive market,&#148; concluded Mr.&nbsp;Hermance.
