About Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-8KPA
Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-8KPA
Dwyer 2000-8KPA MAGNEHELICÂ DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGEÂ 0/8KPA
- 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.

FAQ's of Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-8KPA:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer Magnehelic Differential Pressure Gauge Model 2000-8KPA?
A: Installation is straightforward-mount the gauge vertically (unless specified otherwise) using the supplied flush mounting adaptors and screws. Connect your pressure sources to the 1/8" NPT high and low pressure taps, which are available on both the front and rear. Ensure the gauge is properly sealed and all connections are secure.
Q: What types of media can this pressure gauge measure?
A: The Magnehelic 2000-8KPA is engineered to measure the differential pressure of steam, oil, and gas, making it suitable for a range of industrial processes where accurate pressure monitoring is required.
Q: When is external zero adjustment necessary, and how is it performed?
A: Use the external zero adjustment screw when the pointer is not reading zero with equal pressure applied to both ports. Simply rotate the screw to align the pointer with zero. This ensures ongoing accuracy, compensating for ambient or mounting condition changes.
Q: Where can this gauge be installed within my facility?
A: The gauge is versatile and can be surface- or flush-mounted on control panels, walls, or equipment near your pressure measurement points. Its vertical mounting orientation improves accuracy and performance in various industrial settings.
Q: What process does the gauge use to measure differential pressure?
A: This gauge uses a mechanically operated, diaphragm-actuated sensor. It responds to pressure differences between the high and low taps, with movement of the diaphragm driving the analog pointer across the display.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the Dwyer Magnehelic 2000-8KPA?
A: Key benefits include high accuracy (2% of full scale), robust construction for industrial environments, flexibility in mounting, easy-to-read analog display, and simple maintenance features like external zero adjustment. Its durability ensures long-term reliable performance.
