About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2.5KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2.5KPA
Dwyer 2000-2.5KPA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 0/2.5KPA
- 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.
High-Precision Differential Pressure MeasurementEngineered for reliability, the 2000-2.5KPA model ensures accurate monitoring of air and non-corrosive gas pressures. Its diaphragm sensing element eliminates the need for Bourdon tubes, providing stable and consistent readings across industrial environments. The large, clear analog dial simplifies on-site readings, making it ideal for various professional settings.
Industrial Durability and User-Friendly FeaturesHoused in die cast aluminum, the Magnehelic Gauge withstands operation in rugged industrial conditions. Quick zeroing is achievable through the external adjustment knob, while the IP53-rated front offers moderate resistance against dust and water. Accessories included facilitate straightforward installation, and its immediate response ensures effective real-time monitoring.
FAQs of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2.5KPA:
Q: How do I mount the Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2.5KPA?
A: You can mount this gauge either on a surface or panel using the included flush mounting bracket and adapters. Refer to the accessories provided: three mounting adapters, plugs, and tubing adapters, to ensure secure and proper installation in vertical orientation for accurate readings.
Q: What types of substances can I measure with this differential pressure gauge?
A: This model is specifically designed to measure the differential pressure of air and other non-corrosive gases. Use with incompatible substances may damage the sensing element or compromise accuracy.
Q: When should I perform zero adjustment on the Magnehelic Gauge?
A: Zero adjustment should be performed before initial use or whenever theres a noticeable shift in baseline readings. The external knob makes calibration straightforward, ensuring measurement accuracy over time.
Q: Where is the best installation location for optimal performance?
A: For precise operation, mount the gauge vertically on a vibration-free surface or panel in environments within the specified -7C to +60C temperature range. Ensure the front side faces areas protected from excessive moisture since it has IP53 ingress protection only on the front.
Q: What is the process for connecting the gauge to my system?
A: Connect the gauge using the 1/8 NPT threads provided on the back, and utilize the supplied rubber tubing adapters for compatible piping. Ensure all fittings are airtight to prevent pressure leakage which may affect the accuracy of the readings.
Q: How does immediate/continuous response benefit my process control?
A: The immediate and continuous response feature ensures that any pressure fluctuations are registered instantly, allowing for real-time monitoring and prompt corrective action, which is crucial in sensitive process control applications.
