About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-5KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-5KPA
Dwyer 2000-5KPA MAGNEHELIC DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE 0/5KPA
- 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.
Robust Industrial DesignCrafted from die-cast aluminum with a matte finish, the Magnehelic 2000-5KPA is engineered for durability and longevity. The clear acrylic cover and red acrylic pointer enhance visibility while the industrial-grade build ensures reliable operation in demanding environments.
Precise Pressure MeasurementThis gauge uses a sensitive diaphragm sensor to deliver accurate differential pressure readings from 0 to 5 kPa, with a fine resolution of 0.2 kPa and 2% full-scale accuracy. Instantaneous response makes it useful in applications where quick feedback on pressure changes is crucial.
Versatile Installation OptionsDesigned for flexibility, the gauge supports both surface and flush mounting thanks to accessory brackets and screws included in the package. Side and back connections and a 1/8 NPT female thread ensure compatibility with various setups in industrial spaces.
FAQ's of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-5KPA:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer Magnehelic 2000-5KPA differential pressure gauge?
A: Install the gauge using the provided mounting brackets and screws for either surface or flush mounting. Connect your air or non-corrosive gas sources to the side or back 1/8 NPT female ports, following the included instruction sheet for best results.
Q: What is the process for zero adjustment on this gauge?
A: Zero adjustment is conveniently achieved by turning the external screw located on the gauge's front. Make sure both pressure ports are at atmospheric pressure before adjusting to ensure accurate zeroing.
Q: Where can the Magnehelic 2000-5KPA be used?
A: This gauge is ideal for industrial environments, especially in HVAC systems, filter monitoring, clean rooms, and process control applications where reliable low differential air or non-corrosive gas measurement is required.
Q: What are the benefits of using this specific model for differential pressure measurement?
A: The 2000-5KPA offers durable construction, precise analog readings with a 0.2 kPa resolution, fast response, and simple installation, making it an excellent choice for continuous monitoring and critical control tasks.
Q: How should I maintain or care for the Magnehelic differential pressure gauge?
A: To keep the gauge functioning optimally, ensure it's installed in environments within the -7C to 60C temperature range, clean the acrylic cover regularly, and periodically verify zero adjustment. Avoid exposure to corrosive gases or liquids.
Q: What comes included with the Dwyer Magnehelic 2000-5KPA?
A: The package includes the gauge itself, two mounting brackets with screws, an instruction sheet for installation and operation, and static pressure tips with tubing for measurement setup.
