Dwyer USA Model 2160 Magnehelic Gage Range 0-160 Inch WC

Description

Dwyer 2160 Differential pressure gage, range 0-160" w.c. (inches of water), minor divisions 5.

Using Dwyers simple, frictionlessMagnehelic Gagemovement, it quickly indicates low air or non-corrosive gas pressures--either positive, negative (vacuum) or differential. The design resists shock, vibration and over-pressures. No manometer fluid to evaporate, freeze or cause toxic or leveling problems. Its inexpensive, too.

The Magnehelic Gage is the industry standard to measure fan and blower pressures, filter resistance, air velocity, furnace draft, pressure drop across orifice plates, liquid levels with bubbler systems and pressures in fluid amplifier or fluidic systems. It also checks gas-air ratio controls and automatic valves, and monitors blood and respiratory pressures in medical care equipment.

Note: May be used with Hydrogen. Order a Buna-N diaphragm. Pressures must be less than 35 psi.

Features

Bezel provides flange for flush mounting in panel.

Clear plastic face is highly resistant to breakage. Provides undistorted viewing of pointer and scale.

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 Performance

Engineered for durability, the 2160 Magnehelic Gage offers accurate differential pressure monitoring in industrial applications such as HVAC, cleanrooms, and process filters. Its corrosion-resistant aluminum case and silicone rubber seals provide resilience, while the external zero adjustment maintains ongoing accuracy in the field.


User-Friendly Installation and Operation

Featuring both side and back mounting ports, this gauge is adaptable for various installation setups. Its 4-inch acrylic dial ensures clear readability, and the factory calibration means the device is ready to use right out of the box. All necessary mounting hardware and accessories are included for straightforward setup.


Reliable and Immediate Measurement

With an immediate mechanical response and a 2% full-scale accuracy, the 2160 Magnehelic Gage delivers quick and dependable results. The analog display and external zero adjustment make on-site monitoring and recalibration simple, aiding professionals in prompt decision-making and system diagnostics.
