Model 105

Bellows Type

Mid-West® Instrument Model 105 Bellows ΔP Gauge – ± 1/2% or ± 1% Full Scale Accuracy. System pressure is applied to the internal volume of a bellows and mechanical linkage assembly.  As pressure changes, the bellows and linkage assembly move to cause an electrical signal to be produced or to cause a gauge pointer to move. The major components of the Model 105 are a two-piece body, bellows sensing element and over-pressure assembly, a torque tube assembly, a range spring and the gauge front assembly.

The body halves provide the pressure containment function. They also clamp the sensing element and over-pressure assembly between the halves, isolating the high side and low side pressures of the system. The high side body half also provides a mount for the torque tube assembly and the gauge front assembly.

This assembly incorporates a bidirectional relief valve which provides over-pressure protection in both directions. When over-pressured from the high side, the valve is opened by a mechanical stop as the sensing element deflects to its maximum travel. When over-pressured from the low side, the spring-loaded valve opens when the differential pressure exceeds its maximum rating. The opening of the valve in either direction equalizes the pressure and protects the unit.

Locked Logic Switch Electrical Specifications:

See Bulletin: Installation and Operation Manual

“Locked Logic” alarm control is a solid-state optical-electronic control available as an option on Mid-West Models 105 differential pressure gauge. The control is an optical “no-contact” design that does not affect the indicated accuracy of the instrument. The standard unit is designed for an 8 to 28 VDC uninterruptable power input. Optional power inputs include  115 VAC 50-60 hertz, or 220/240  VAC 50-60 hertz. Output interface is via a set of (1) or (2) isolated SPDT or DPDT relay contacts, dependent on the number of set points specified. Visible set pointers are provided, adjustable to within 5% of full scale of each other.  Interface to the relay contacts is customer configurable provided the relay contact ratings are not exceeded. An alternate option allows the incorporation of an adjustable dead band. For this configuration the right set pointer determines the upper trigger point, while the left set pointer determines the lower trigger point.

  • 1 or 2 Independently adjustable switches with Set Point Feedback
  • SPDT or DPDT Output Options
  • Adjustable Deadband option for SPDT or DPDT output (2 set pointers)
  • Accuracy of Gauge unaffected by the switch
  • Adjustable from 5 to 95% F.S.
  • Electrical Enclosures Weather-proof NEMA 4X or NEMA 7

Hazardous Locations:

  • Designed for Class I Division I, Groups B, C & D, Class II Division I, Groups E, F and G

Additional Options:

  • Pipe Mounting Kit - 2" U-Bolt
  • Wall Mounting Kit
  • Oxygen Cleaning
  • Maximum Follower Pointer
  • NACE Certificate (Available for Aluminum and Stainless Steel Bodies only)
  • CRN – Canadian Registration Number (1500 PSI Safe Working Pressure Stainless Steel Bodies only)
