Overview
The Dwyer Instruments 2050 is a Series 2000 Magnehelic® differential pressure gauge engineered for accurate, maintenance-free pressure measurement. The Dwyer Series 2000 is a high accuracy magnehelic differential pressure gage with frictionless gage movement that can quickly indicate air or noncorrosive gas pressures. The 2050 model covers a 0–50 inches of water column (in. w.c.) range, making it suitable for low-pressure applications across HVAC, air filtration, laboratory, and industrial settings.
Key Features
- No calibration needed — the gauge arrives ready to install and measure
- Accuracy: +/-2% of F.S. for reliable, repeatable readings
- The design resists shock, vibration and over-pressures
- Precisely located, burr-free static pressure holes for accurate sampling
- Analog dial display with clear, easy-to-read scale
- Frictionless Magnehelic® movement for quick response to pressure changes
Technical Specifications
- Pressure Range: 0–50 in. w.c. (inches of water column)
- Pressure Rating: -20″ Hg to 15 PSIG
- Overpressure: Relief plug open at 25 PSIG
- Ambient Temperature: 20° – 140°F
- Connections: 1/8″ NPT female high and low pressure taps
- Display Type: Analog
- Accuracy: ±2% of full scale
- Clear plastic face is highly resistant to breakage. Provides undistorted viewing of pointer and scale.
Typical Applications
The Dwyer 2050 Magnehelic gauge is commonly deployed in:
- HVAC systems — monitoring duct pressure, filter differential, or room pressurization
- Air filtration systems — tracking filter loading and replacement intervals
- Clean rooms and negative pressure environments
- Laboratory and test equipment setups
- Industrial gas and air pressure monitoring
- Water and wastewater treatment facilities
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Systems requiring 0–50 in. w.c. pressure measurement capability
