About Capsuhelic Differential Pressure Gage
Capsuhelic Differential Pressure GageSeries 4000
Capsuhelic® Differential Pressure GageMeasures Pressure, Vacuum or Differential, Suitable for Internal Pressures to 500 psig
The SERIES 4000
Capsuhelic® Gage is designed to give fast, accurate indication of differential pressures. The gage may be used as a readout device when measuring flowing fluids, pressure drop across filters, liquid levels in storage tanks and many other applications involving pressure, vacuum or differential pressure. The pressure being measured is held within a capsule which is an integral part of the gage. This containment of the pressure permits the use of the gage on system pressures of up to 500 psig, even when differentials to be read are less than 0.1 in w.c.
Note: May be used with Hydrogen. Order a Buna-N diaphragm. Pressures must be less than 35 psi.
Product Applications- Fluid flow
- Liquid storage tanks
