Meroid Series
BB
Bourdon Tube Differential
Pressure Switches

Stainless steel bourdon tubes, adjustable deadband,
high pressure


Welded stainless steel bourdon tubes reduce chance of leakage, (even in the event of fire), in Model BB Differential Pressure Switches. Units are ideal for checking differential pressure (head) across high pressure pumps and filters. Hermetically sealed mercury wetted contacts help ensure reliable operations. Extra sensitive (fixed deadband) unites are available on special order, as are weather-proof and explosion-proof enclosures.
