About Dwyer 2300-2KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2300-2KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2300-2KPA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 1-0-1
- 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 overpressures.
- 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.

It features side and back 1/8 NPT connection ports for flexibility in installation and maintenance, accommodating various application spaces in commercial and industrial environments.
Durable Construction and Reliable PerformanceBuilt with a die-cast aluminum case and a clear acrylic window, the Dwyer Magnehelic 2300-2KPA offers resilience against everyday industrial wear. The silicone seal and high-quality materials ensure longevity, while the external zero adjustment simplifies calibration and zeroing without disassembly.
FAQs of Dwyer 2300-2KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer 2300-2KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge?
A: The gauge can be installed using the supplied mounting kit and screws. It supports panel, surface, or pipe mounting, and utilizes standard 1/8 NPT threads on the side and back for flexible connection to your pressure lines.
Q: What types of media can this pressure gauge measure?
A: The 2300-2KPA model is designed for measuring the differential pressure of air and compatible gases. It is not suitable for liquids or corrosive media outside its specified material compatibility.
Q: When should I use the external zero adjustment screw?
A: Use the external zero adjustment screw whenever you need to correct the gauge pointer back to zero, particularly after installation, maintenance, or if you observe pointer drift during routine checks.
Q: Where can the Magnehelic 2300-2KPA be mounted?
A: This gauge is versatile, allowing for panel, flush, surface, or even pipe mounting, making it suitable for a variety of industrial settings. The mounting accessories included make installation straightforward on most surfaces.
Q: What is the benefit of the NEMA Type 1 enclosure rating?
A: A NEMA Type 1 enclosure rating indicates the gauge is protected against dust, light, and accidental contact, suitable for general indoor locations. This makes it reliable for most industrial, laboratory, and HVAC applications.
Q: How accurate is the Dwyer 2300-2KPA Magnehelic Gauge?
A: This model is factory calibrated and provides an accuracy of 2% of the full scale. This level of accuracy ensures dependable results for differential air and gas measurements.
Q: What accessories are provided with this differential pressure gauge?
A: Each Dwyer 2300-2KPA includes two static pressure tips and mounting screws as standard accessories, simplifying installation and set-up.
