Mid-West Instrument is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of differential pressure gauges and switches in the U.S. Experienced engineers and technicians utilize the latest equipment for engineering, manufacturing and testing the firm's gauge and switch products. All Mid-West Instrument products are manufactured in the United States and are backed by an industry leading Five (5) Year Warranty.  Mid-West also produces a line of "Averaging Pitot Tubes" sold under the "Delta-Tube" brand as well as portable test kits, pulsation dampeners and pressure limiting valves. Oil, Gas, Water, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power Generation and Gas Liquidification are a few of the industries served.

Differential Pressure is sensed by the movement of a precisely ground floating piston/magnet in a precision bore against a calibrated spring. Any variation in pressure on either side of the piston/magnet will cause the magnet to move proportionally to the change in differential pressure. A rotary pointer magnet located close to the internal magnet, but outside the pressure housing, follows the movement of the piston magnet and indicates differential pressure on the dial. Piston-Type Differential Pressure Gauges are available with one or two hermetically sealed reed switches. The switches are adjustable within a defined percentage of the full scale range of the gauge and are available in SPDT and SPST, normally open or normally closed configurations for various load/power ratings. The switches can be set to activate or deactivate on rising or falling pressure. Switches are "CE" marked per the EU low voltage directive.

Differential Pressure is sensed by the movement of an elastomer diaphragm against a precision calibrated range spring. The change in position of the diaphragm in response to the change in Differential Pressure moves an internal magnet. This magnet, in turn, causes a rotary magnet external to the gauge body to rotate. This rotary magnet has a pointer attached which indicates the differential pressure on the dial. Diaphragm-type Differential Pressure Gauges are available with one or two hermetically sealed reed switches. The switches are adjustable (see table for the adjustment range) within a defined percentage of the full scale range of the gauge and are available in SPDT and SPST, normally open configurations for various load/power ratings. The switches can be set to activate or deactivate on rising or falling pressure. Switches are “CE” marked per the EU low voltage directive.

Mid-West Instrument has been designing and manufacturing indicating differential pressure switches for use in Hazardous Locations for over 30 years.  Their products carry CSA, UL, and or ATEX certifications that apply to the entire assembly as mandated by the applicable Hazardous Locations Standards. In order to mark their product with the CSA & UL marks, Mid-West Instrument is subject to unannounced visits by personnel from each certification lab 4 times per year. In addition, for the ATEX certification, they are subject to a comprehensive audit from a Notified Body representative once every year.

The Model 150 “Vari-Damp®” all purpose pulsation dampener features both a fine thread needle valve for adjusting dampening characteristics and a Precision Controlled Flow Rate Ball Check to block line surges, shock waves, or fluid hammer.  The Model 200 “Gauge Minder” features a pressure limiting valve that blocks off excess pressure to the instrument, preventing calibration failure, internal damage, and “blowout” from over-ranging - a principal cause of instrument failure.
