Mid-West Bourdon Tube Differential Pressure Gauge Working Principle
The Mid-West Bourdon Tube 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 pressure chamber for the assembly is small, close fitting and rugged. The volume displacement of the Bourdon Tube through the pressure range is near to zero (0.02 c.c.). The speed of response of the indicator to changes in differential pressure is instantaneous, even on low volume pressure systems. The low volume displacement is an important advantage for differential pressure leak detection, and when isolation diaphragms are required.
The 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 jewelled 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.
