About Dwyer 2000-500PA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2000-500PA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge
Dwyer 2000-500PA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 0-500 PA
- 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.
Versatile Differential Pressure MeasurementDesigned for both surface and flush mounting, the Dwyer 2000-500PA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge offers accurate measurement of air and compatible gases in environments demanding precision. Its robust enclosure and IP54 rating ensure reliability in industrial settings.
Durable Construction and Intuitive OperationFeaturing a die-cast aluminum body with a protective powder-coated finish, the gauge is equipped with a full-view polycarbonate lens and clear analog dial. With an external zero adjustment screw and factory calibration, operation and setup are straightforward and maintenance is minimal.
Comprehensive Accessories and Flexible MountingEach unit is supplied with two 1/8 NPT plugs, mounting adapters, screws, and a panel mounting bracket. It allows for standard vertical mounting or horizontal installation with slightly reduced accuracy, enhancing adaptability for varied user requirements.
FAQs of Dwyer 2000-500PA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge:
Q: How does the Dwyer 2000-500PA Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge measure air pressure?
A: This gauge uses a diaphragm-based mechanism to detect and display the difference in pressure between high and low pressure ports. It provides an analog readout for pressures ranging from 0 to 500 Pa, helping users accurately monitor air and compatible gas pressures.
Q: What are the installation options for this differential pressure gauge?
A: The device supports both surface and flush mounting. It is supplied with all necessary hardware, including mounting adapters and a bracket. For best accuracy, vertical orientation is recommended, though it can also be mounted horizontally if some accuracy loss is acceptable.
Q: When should I perform zero adjustment on the gauge?
A: Zero adjustment is recommended during installation or routine maintenance, especially if you notice any deviation when both ports are open to atmospheric pressure. The external adjustment screw on the front panel makes this process straightforward.
Q: Where can this gauge be effectively used?
A: It is well-suited for HVAC systems, filter monitoring, clean room air pressure verification, and air flow applications in industrial and commercial settings across India and beyond.
Q: What protection does the gauge offer in case of overpressure?
A: The Dwyer 2000-500PA incorporates an overpressure protection mechanism, allowing it to withstand occasional pressures up to 172 kPa (25 psi) without compromising its performance or accuracy.
Q: How do I connect the gauge to my system?
A: It features two 1/8" NPT female ports for high and low pressure connections. The necessary plugs and adapters are included, ensuring a secure and straightforward installation process.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this gauge?
A: This gauge boasts durable industrial-grade construction, excellent accuracy, minimal maintenance needs, and adaptability across multiple applications, making it a reliable choice for demanding pressure monitoring tasks.
