About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-15KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-15KPA
Dwyer 2000-15KPA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 0/15KPA
- 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.
Robust Industrial ConstructionCrafted with a die-cast aluminum case and a clear acrylic cover, the Dwyer Magnehelic 2000-15KPA is engineered to endure harsh industrial conditions. Its IP54 rating (front) ensures reliable protection against dust and limited moisture, while the corrosion-resistant materials increase its longevity, making it ideal for demanding environments. The devices fire-retardant dial and sturdy anodized aluminum pointer further enhance safety and performance.
Simple Installation & Flexible MountingEquipped with both surface and flush mount options, the gauge is easy to install in various applications. The package includes a mounting bracket, adapters, and screws, streamlining setup. Its two 1/8 NPT female side ports allow for straightforward integration with air and compatible gas systems. The external zero adjustment screw enables quick, on-site calibration without removing the cover.
Accurate, Immediate Pressure ReadingsThe analog display, coupled with a diaphragm-operated sensor, offers immediate mechanical response to differential pressure changes. With 2% full-scale accuracy, professionals can rely on precise, real-time data. The scale range of 0-15 KPA makes it suitable for monitoring a variety of HVAC, filtration, and cleanroom systems throughout industrial settings.
FAQs of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-15KPA:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer Magnehelic Model 2000-15KPA differential pressure gauge?
A: Installation is straightforward with surface or flush mount options using the included mounting bracket, pipe thread to hose adapters, and screws. Position the gauge vertically and connect your process lines to the two 1/8 NPT female side ports, ensuring the device is securely affixed for accurate readings.
Q: What is the recommended process for zero adjustment on this gauge?
A: Zero adjustment can be performed using the external adjustment screw without removing the front cover. Ensure the gauge is unpressurized and mounted vertically, then turn the screw until the pointer aligns with zero for precise baseline calibration.
