Dwyer H3 Explosion-Proof Differential Pressure Switches, heavy-duty, the industrial unit has a unique new design which provides sensitivity to differential pressures as low as 10 inches of water (254 mm w.c.), yet handles total pressure of 1500 psi (103 bar). Unlike common differential pressure switches that use a piston-type motion transfer, the Series H3 utilizes a rotary motion transfer shaft that prevents a change in total pressure from causing a setpoint shift.
Unit yields dead bands approximately 5% of range, with zero setpoint shift due to variation in working pressures. Friction is minimized and repeatability increased by allowing the range spring to act directly on the diaphragm plate. The rolling diaphragm design maintains a constant effective area to further reduce friction. The diaphragm is allowed to “seat”, allowing application of full rated pressure, up to 1500 psi (103 bar), on the either high or low-pressure port, without damage. The special over-travel feature prevents overtightening of range adjust screw.
