The 20 Series (2 inch/51 mm dial) and the 25 Series (2-1/2 inch/64 mm dial) Swichgage models are diaphragm-actuated, pressure-indicating gages with built-in electrical switches. These switches exceed SAE standards and are used for tripping alarms and/or shut-down devices.
Ranges are available from 0-15 psi (103 kPa) [1.0 bar] through 0-400 psi (2.8 MPa) [28 bar]. The gage mechanism is enclosed in a steel case coated to resist corrosion. A polycarbonate, breakresistant lens and a polished, stainless steel bezel help protect this rugged, built-to-last instrument. Accuracy and protection from moderate overpressure is assured by a unique, unitized diaphragm chamber. A built-in pulsation dampener helps eliminate pointer flutter and is removable for cleaning. For models 20P and 25P, the gage pointer acts as a pressure indicator and as one switch pole which completes a circuit when it touches the adjustable limit contact. Contacts are grounded through the case and have self-cleaning motion to ensure electrical continuity.
Models 20PE and 25PE have internal snap-acting SPDT switches. Gage-only models without the switches (MurphyGage®) are also available.
The Swichgage® was specifically designed to protect engines/equipment in oil field, marine, irrigation, construction and trucking applications to monitor engine lube pressure, water pump pressure, hydraulic pressure, air pressure, etc
