The Magnehelic
®
Differential Pressure Gage consists
of two pressure-tight compartments separated by a
molded flexible diaphragm.
The interior of the gage case serves as the "high"
pressure compartment and a sealed chamber
behind the diaphragm serves as the "low" pressure
compartment.
Differences in pressure between the "high" and
"low" sides of the diaphragm cause the diaphragm
to assume a balanced position between the two
pressures. The front support plate of the diaphragm
is linked to a leaf spring which is anchored at one
end. The spring provides calibrated resistance to the
diaphragm motion. Motion of the spring is
transmitted through an exclusive magnetic linkage
to the pointer.
The Magnehelic
®
Differential Pressure Gage requires
no maintenance. The only field adjustment required
is occasional zero setting of the pointer which is
done by opening the plastic vent valves and turning
the adjustment of the gage.
STANDARD GAGE ACCESSORIES: Two 1/8˝ NPT
plugs for duplicate pressure taps, two 1/8˝ pipe
thread to rubber tubing adapters and three flush
mounting adapters with screws.
MP AND HP GAGE ACCESSORIES: Mounting ring
and snap ring retainer substituted for 3 adaptors,
1/4" compression fittings replace 1/8" pipe thread to
rubber tubing adaptors.
