T
he Magnehelic
®
g
age 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.
D
ifferences in pressure between the “high” and “low” sides of the diaphragm cause
t
he diaphragm to assume a balanced position between the two pressures. The
f
ront 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
®
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 ACCESSORIES FURNISHED
Two 1/8˝ NPT plugs for duplicate pressure taps, two 1/8˝ pipe thread to rubber
tubing adapter and three flush mounting adapters with screws. (Mounting and snap
ring retainer substituted for 3 adapters in MP & HP gage accessories.)
The Magnehelic
®
gage with molded plastic vent valves for easy zeroing. Available
with adjustable signal flag (not shown; option “ASF” at extra cost) for immediate
visual reference to maximum allowable pressure drop; External front screw for zero
adjustment. Red and green scale overlays to highlight safe and dangerous
readings are also available.
