Select this Magnehelic gage for high accuracy - guaranteed within 2% of full scale. We have 81 models available to suit your needs preciscely. Using simple, frictionless Magnehelic movement, it quickly indicates low air or non-corrosive gas pressures - either positive, negative (vacuum) or differential. The design resists shock, vibration, and over-pressures. No manometer fluid to evaporate, freeze or cause toxic or leveling problems. It's inexpensive too!
The Magnahelic is the industry standard to measure fan and blower pressures, filter resistance, air velocity, furnace draft, pressure drop across orifice plates, liquid levels with bubbler systems and pressures in fluid amplifier or fluidic systems. It also checks gas-air ration controls and automatic valves, and monitors blood and respiratory pressures in medical care equipment.
Mounting
A single case size is used for most models of Magnehelic gages. They can be flush or surface mounted with standard hardware supplied. With the optional A-610 Pipe Mountint Kit they may be conveniently installed on horizontal or verticle 1-¼" - 2" pipe. Although calibrated for vertical position, many ranges above 1" may be used at any angle by simply re-zeroing. However, for maximum accuracy, they must be calibrated in the same position in which they are used. These characteristics make Magnehelic gauges ideal for both stationary and portable applications. A 4-9/16" hole is required for flush panel mounting. Complete mounting and connection fittings plus instructions are furnished with each instrument. |

Vent Valves
In applications where pressure is continuous and the magnehelic gage is connected by metal or plastic tubing which cannot be easily removed, we suggest using A-310A vent valves to connect the guage. Pressure can then be removed to check or re-zero the gauge. |

High and Medium Pressure Models
Installation is similar to standard gages except that a 4-13/16" hole is needed for flush mounting. The medium pressure construction is rated for internal pressures up to 35 psig and the high pressure up to 80 psig. Available for all models. Because of larger case, the medium pressure and high pressure models will not fit in a portable case size. Installation of the A-321 safety relief valve on standard Magnehelic gauges often provides adequate protection against infrequent overpressure. |
