About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-10KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-10KPA
Dwyer 2000-10KPA MAGNEHELIC, DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE, 0/10KPA
- 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.
Accurate Differential Pressure MeasurementEngineered to deliver precise readings, the Dwyer Magnehelic Model 2000-10KPA uses a high-sensitivity diaphragm capsule, making it ideal for monitoring air and non-corrosive gases. Its 2% full-scale accuracy guarantees consistent performance in demanding conditions, ensuring safety and process control across industrial applications.
Robust Construction and Versatile InstallationFeaturing a die-cast aluminum housing, acrylic cover, and IP54 enclosure protection, this gauge is designed to endure harsh operating environments. It offers multiple mounting options-surface or flush-with two included brackets, and allows mounting in different orientations with recalibration, providing flexibility for installation.
User-friendly Operation and MaintenanceThe gauge incorporates an easy-to-access external screw for zero adjustment, facilitating routine calibration without disassembly. Its mechanical analog response offers immediate feedback, while the clear, full-scale dial simplifies reading at a glance. Durable materials and a protective finish ensure long-lasting performance in industrial settings.
FAQ's of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-10KPA:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-10KPA?
A: The gauge can be mounted in a vertical orientation as standard, using the supplied two mounting brackets and screws. Surface and flush mounting are both supported. For non-vertical installations, recalibration is recommended to maintain accuracy.
Q: What media can be measured with this pressure gauge?
A: This model is designed to measure differential pressure of air and non-corrosive gases only. It is not suitable for measuring liquids or corrosive gases, ensuring longevity and reliable function for intended applications.
Q: When is recalibration needed for alternate mounting positions?
A: Although the standard mounting orientation is vertical, the gauge can be used in other positions. However, to ensure accurate readings, recalibration should be performed whenever the mounting orientation is changed from vertical.
Q: Where can I use the Model 2000-10KPA gauge in an industrial environment?
A: It is suitable for use in clean rooms, HVAC systems, laboratory ventilation control, filter monitoring, and other applications where monitoring low differential pressure of air or non-corrosive gases is essential.
Q: How do I perform zero adjustment on the gauge?
A: Zero adjustment is straightforward with the external screw adjustment. This can be done without disassembling the gauge, allowing easy recalibration or compensation for any minor drift during routine maintenance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this Magnehelic gauge over others?
A: It offers immediate analog response, robust overpressure protection, high sensitivity, easy external adjustments, and durable industrial construction. Paired with a clear acrylic cover and accurate scale, it ensures user-friendly operation and reliable results.
Q: What protection level does the enclosure provide?
A: The IP54 enclosure rating ensures the gauge is protected against limited dust ingress and splashing water, making it suitable for most industrial indoor environments.
