About Dwyer 2300-3KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2300-3KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2300-3KPA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 1.5-0-1.5
- 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.

Rugged Build for Industrial ApplicationsEngineered with a machined, black-painted die-cast aluminum case and a clear acrylic window, this pressure gauge ensures durability even in demanding industrial settings. Its IP42 enclosure rating protects against ingress while the silicone rubber sealing enhances longevity, making it suitable for regular and intensive industrial use.
Accurate and Immediate ReadingsEquipped with a diaphragm sensor, the Dwyer 2300-3KPA provides mechanical, instant differential pressure indication. The analog dial, crafted from white aluminum with dual markings, offers an easy-to-read 0-3 kPa scale, promising 2% full-scale accuracy for both air and non-corrosive gases.
Flexible Installation and User ConvenienceThis gauge includes necessary mounting adapters, plugs, and rubber tubing fittings for straightforward installation, whether surface or flush mount is required. The external screw zero adjustment permits quick recalibration without disassembly, ensuring consistent performance over time.
FAQs of Dwyer 2300-3KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer 2300-3KPA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge?
A: You can install the gauge either via surface or flush mounting, using the included mounting adapters and screws. The gauge should be mounted vertically for optimum accuracy, and the threaded 1/8 NPT female connections allow for easy integration with standard piping or tubing.
Q: What process media is suitable for measurement with this gauge?
A: This model is specifically engineered to measure the differential pressure of air and non-corrosive gases only. Its not suitable for liquids or aggressive gases that may damage the internal sensor or materials.
Q: When should I perform zero adjustment, and how is it done?
A: Zero adjustment should be checked upon installation and periodically during use to account for environmental or mechanical influences. Simply turn the external screw adjustment on the front of the gauge while ensuring both pressure ports are open to atmosphere.
Q: Where is the best location to mount the gauge for reliable readings?
A: Install the gauge in a vertical orientation on a stable surface or panel, avoiding exposure to direct heat sources, vibration, and moisture beyond its IP42 rating, thus ensuring the most accurate and consistent readings.
Q: What accessories are included with this pressure gauge?
A: Each unit comes with two 1/8 NPT plugs, two 1/8 NPT pipe thread to rubber tubing adapters, and three mounting adapters with screws, simplifying connection and mounting across different installation needs.
Q: How does the immediate response time benefit industrial operations?
A: The mechanical indication provides real-time feedback as pressure changes, allowing operators to detect process fluctuations instantly and make appropriate adjustments without delay, enhancing safety and efficiency.
