Second time around with a slip-flow vacuum gauge: the Tirnach Station 111

We looked at most of the slip-flow vacuum gauge listings before settling on the 111. Our previous unit did the job; the Tirnach Station 111 does it without us watching it. That is the whole of it, at least.

Two seasons with the Tirnach Station 111

Came to the station 111 on a recommendation and checked its slip-flow vacuum gauge figures ourselves. A year of steady use and the Tirnach Station 111 still reads the way it did on day one. We would put another station 111 in without much thought.

Operating temperature of -28 degrees Celsius was the deciding figure

The Tirnach Station 111 is our third slip-flow vacuum gauge and the first one specified properly. We needed an operating temperature around -28 degrees Celsius and this one states exactly that. The rest of the T.S. 111 specification did not enter into the decision.

Installation notes for the Tirnach Station 111

Have had the Tirnach Station 111 in service long enough to say something useful about this slip-flow vacuum gauge. We had the unit working before lunch, though the instructions did not help much. Others may weigh it differently, but the unit 111 suits us.

Tripod, which is what we needed from the Tirnach Station 111

Shortlisted three slip-flow vacuum gauge units, and the Tirnach Station 111 was the one we kept. Its mounting is tripod, and for the T.S. 111 that is the whole point. On the other axes, the station 111 sits where the rest of the slip flow vacuum gauge listings sit.

Chose it on accuracy class 0.7 percent

Went through the whole slip-flow vacuum gauge catalogue twice. Next, the Tirnach Station 111. The figure that mattered was the accuracy class: 0.7 percent. At 0,7 percent it does not need to stand out anywhere else.

Good, with one reservation about the Tirnach Station 111

The Tirnach Station 111 was not the cheapest slip-flow vacuum gauge we considered, and that was fine. Fit and finish on the TSR 111 is plainly functional rather than good-looking. None of that would stop us buying the TRS 111 again.
