About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2KPA
Model - 2000-2KPA
Description - Differential pressure gage, range 0-2 kPa, minor divisions .05.
- 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.
Highly Accurate Pressure MonitoringEngineered for precision, the Magnehelic 2000-2KPA delivers reliable readings with an accuracy of 2% full scale. Its diaphragm sensing element is specifically tailored for low differential pressures, making it ideal for monitoring air flows or filter status in various industrial environments. The high-visibility red pointer and large 4-inch dial ensure effortless reading at a glance.
Sturdy Construction and Versatile InstallationBuilt with a die-cast aluminum case and corrosion-resistant finish, this gauge stands up to tough conditions. It can be surface, panel, or bracket mountedvertically as standard, or horizontally with minimal loss in accuracy. The clear acrylic cover and included accessories facilitate a straightforward setup and maintenance process.
Wide Range of ApplicationsThis gauge is suitable for measuring air and non-corrosive gases across HVAC systems, laboratories, clean rooms, and other settings where pressure differentials must be monitored. Its RoHS compliance and precision engineering make it a trusted choice for manufacturers, suppliers, and traders throughout India.
FAQs of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-2KPA:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer Magnehelic 2000-2KPA differential pressure gauge?
A: The gauge can be mounted on a surface, panel, or bracket. For accurate results, it should be installed vertically (standard orientation), though horizontal mounting is possible with a minor decrease in accuracy. Use the included 1/8" NPT plugs and mounting screws per the instruction sheet provided.
Q: What substances can the Magnehelic 2000-2KPA measure?
A: This model is designed for measuring the pressure of air and other non-corrosive gases. It is not suitable for aggressive or corrosive gases that may damage the diaphragm or internal components.
Q: When should I adjust the zero point of the pressure gauge?
A: Zero adjustment should be done when the gauge is first installed and whenever readings appear inconsistent or drift over time. The external screw allows simple, tool-free calibration to maintain reliable accuracy.
Q: Where are the connection ports located, and what type are they?
A: The high and low pressure connection ports are clearly labeled on the gauge body and use 1/8" female NPT threads. Proper connection ensures accurate differential measurements and system integrity.
Q: What is the benefit of using the balanced aluminum pointer and large 4-inch dial?
A: The balanced red aluminum pointer minimizes indicator error and enhances position stability, while the large 4-inch dial provides excellent visibility. This design supports quick reading and reduces risks of misinterpretation in critical applications.
Q: How does the industrial-grade enclosure protect the gauge?
A: The die-cast aluminum enclosure features a corrosion-resistant matte black finish and a clear acrylic face, protecting internal components from physical and environmental damage, enhancing longevity and reliability in demanding conditions.
Q: Is the gauge compliant with international standards?
A: Yes, the Magnehelic 2000-2KPA is RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets contemporary environmental and safety standards required by many industries in India and globally.
