SENSOCON® Series S2000 vs Dwyer® Magnehelic®
A Differential Pressure Gauge Comparison
Since its initial market introduction in 2006, the SENSOCON® brand Series S2000 differential pressure gauges have been reliable alternatives to the MAGNEHELIC® brand differential pressure gauges, both of which are based on the same time proven principles for low differential pressure measurement. Both differential pressure gauges have similar specifications and mounting dimensions, but the newly optimized SENSOCON® brand Series S2000 gauge now has additional advantages over the comparable DWYER® MAGNEHELIC® brand differential pressure gauge. Advantages of the new SENSOCON® brand Series S2000 gauges now include RoHS compliance and CE, an extended 2 year warranty, an optional tamper proof adjustable signal flag that eliminates the need for protruding adjustment knobs that are easily broken, and a redesigned lens for an improved aesthetic appearance.
