Model 109
Bourdon Type
Mid-West® Instrument Model 109 Bourdon Tube ΔP Gauge – ± 1/2% or ± 1% Full Scale Accuracy. System pressure is applied to the inside of a slightly flattened arc- shaped tube. As pressure increases, the tube tends to restore to its original round cross-section. This change in cross-section causes the tube to straighten. Since the tube is permanently fastened at one end, the tip of the tube traces a curve that is the result of the change in angular position with respect to the center. Model 109 is powered by a test quality Bourdon Tube Assembly. The assembly is encapsulated in a high pressure chamber that is fitted with a pressure connection to the inside of the Bourdon Tube and a second connection to the pressure chamber. The Model 109 indicates the difference between the pressure applied inside the Bourdon Tube and the pressure inside the chamber.
The Model 109 Bourdon Tube Assembly is protected against over-range in either direction to the rated working pressure by a bi-directional relief valve. The output shaft of the gauge assembly is magnetically coupled through the solid wall of the pressure chamber to a sensitive jeweled pointer shaft in the dial housing outside the chamber. The magnetic coupling transmits the exact motion of the assembly to the pointer to give an accurate dial reading of the differential pressure.
NOTE: The use of diaphragm seals is not recommended for Model 109 series gauge. Attempts to install such seals on these gauges will void the warranty

“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
