Dwyer 2300 MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE 0-10 CM
- Precision litho-printed scale is accurate and easy to read.
- Red tipped pointer of heat treated aluminum tubing is easy to see. It is rigidly mounted on the helix shaft.
- Pointer stops of molded rubber prevent pointer over-travel without damage.
- "Wishbone" assembly provides mounting for helix, helix bearings and pointer shaft.
- Jeweled bearings are shock-resistant mounted; provide virtually friction-free motion for helix. Motion damped with high viscosity silicone fluid.
- Zero adjustment screw is conveniently located in the plastic cover, and is accessible without removing the cover. O-ring seal provides pressure tightness.
- Helix is precision made from an alloy of high magnetic permeability. Mounted in jeweled bearings, it turns freely, following the magnetic field to move the pointer across the scale.
- Samarium Cobalt magnet mounted at one end of range spring rotates helix without mechanical linkages.
- Calibrated range spring is flat spring steel. Small amplitude of motion assures consistency and long life. It reacts to pressure on diaphragm. Live length adjustable for calibration.
- Silicone rubber diaphragm with integrally molded O-ring is supported by front and rear plates. It is locked and sealed in position with a sealing plate and retaining ring. Diaphragm motion is restricted to prevent damage due to over pressures.
- Die cast aluminum case is precision made and iridite-dipped to withstand 168 hour salt spray corrosion test. Exterior finished in baked dark gray hammerloid. One case size is used for all standard pressure options, and for both surface and flush mounting.
- Blowout plug of silicone rubber protects against overpressure on 15 psig rated models. Opens at approximately 25 psig.
- O-ring seal for cover assures pressure integrity of case.
High-Precision HVAC Pressure MonitoringThe Dwyer 2300-10CM Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge is tailored for monitoring low pressures in HVAC systems and cleanroom environments.

Durable Construction for Demanding ConditionsWith its die-cast aluminum case, silicone rubber seals, and IP65 enclosure rating, the 2300-10CM withstands challenging industrial settings. The black-finished enclosure, clear acrylic cover, and sturdy mounting accessories guarantee easy installation and readability. The gauge is meticulously designed for both panel or surface mounting, and its pulse damping ensures stable readings, eliminating the effect of air surges.
FAQs of Dwyer 2300-10CM Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Range 5-0-5 CM:
Q: How do I install and mount the Dwyer 2300-10CM Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge?
A: The gauge offers both panel and surface mounting options. Use the included mounting adaptors, screws, two 1/8 NPT plugs, and two rubber tubing adaptors for easy installation. Follow the manufacturers instructions to securely fit the gauge and connect to air or non-corrosive gas lines using standard 1/8 NPT threads.
Q: What type of pressures and gases can this gauge measure?
A: The Dwyer 2300-10CM is specifically designed to measure the differential pressure of air and non-corrosive gases within a range of 5-0-5 cm of water column. It should not be used with corrosive gases or liquids, which can damage the sensor and internal components.
Q: When should I use the zero adjustment feature?
A: You should use the external zero adjustment screw before taking measurements or if the pointer is not at zero when both ports are open to atmosphere. This ensures accuracy by compensating for minor mechanical variances or environmental factors that might have shifted the reading.
Q: Where is this gauge typically used in industrial or commercial environments?
A: This Magnehelic gauge is commonly utilized in HVAC systems, filter and duct static pressure monitoring, clean rooms, and other applications where precise monitoring of low pressure differentials is essential. Its robust design makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial setups.
Q: What are the main advantages of using the 2300-10CM in my airflow applications?
A: Key benefits include immediate response, high accuracy (2% of full scale), superior build quality (die-cast aluminum housing), and an IP65 enclosure that resists dust and moisture. Pulse damping delivers stable readings, making it ideal for continuous pressure monitoring in airflow systems.
Q: How do I ensure the gauge provides accurate readings over time?
A: Regularly check the zero adjustment and keep the gauge free from dust and debris. Avoid exposing it to pressures or temperatures outside the specified range (-7C to 60C, max 172 kPa) and use only with air and non-corrosive gases. Proper installation and periodic inspection will maintain accuracy over time.
