Murphy Pressure Mechanical Gauge

Industrial Pressure Gauges

The gauge mechanism is enclosed in a steel case coated to resist corrosion. A polycarbonate, break-resistant 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 gauge 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.

Murphy Differential Pressure Gauge

Industrial Pressure Gauge

The 20P-200 Pressure Swichgauge instrument has a 2 inch (51 mm) dial, and a pressure range of 0-200 psi. The gauge mechanism is enclosed in a steel case coated to resist corrosion, and utilizes a polycarbonate break-resistant lens and a polished stainless steel bezel to help protect this rugged instrument.

Murphy Temperature Switchgauge

Murphy Temperature Gauge

The 20 Series (2 inch/51 mm dial) and the 25 Series (2-1/2 inch/64 mm dial) Swichgauge models are diaphragm-actuated, temperature-indicating gauges with built-in electrical switches for tripping alarms and/or shut-down devices.
Ranges are available from 32°-120°F (0°-45°C) through 300°-440°F (160°-220°C).
The gauge mechanism is enclosed in a steel case coated to resist corrosion. A polycarbonate, break- resistant lens and a polished, stainless steel bezel help protect this rugged, built-to-last instrument.

These vapor-actuated gauges feature a sealed capillary tube and a sensing bulb. When subjected to heat, the liquid in the sensing bulb changes to vapor creating pressure against the diaphragm mechanism. The diaphragm translates this vapor pressure into a mechanical gauge reading. For series 20T and 25T, the gauge pointer acts as a temperature indicator and as one switch pole which completes a circuit when it touches the adjustable limit contact. Contact(s) are grounded through the Swichgauge case. They have a self-cleaning motion to enhance electrical continuity.

45APE Series - Mechanical Industrial Pressure Gauges

Pressure Gauges

Service Intended

The 45APE Series gauge instrument is a mechanical gauge for pressure indication. It includes two adjustable SPDT switches. These snap-acting switches can be used for start and stop, to trip alarms and to shut down equipment. Ranges are available from 30 psi (207 kPa) [2.06 bar] thru 5,000 psi (34.48 MPa) [344.73 bar].

The 45APE Series utilizes a bourdon tube sensing unit with a stainless steel dual-sector geared movement. Each of the sectors drives separate pointers when pressure is applied to the bourdon tube. The indicating pointer (visible pointer) shows actual pressure reading, including below and beyond the low and high trip points. The low and high trip points are adjustable independently on the gauge front lens. The switch operator pointer (behind the dial) is calibrated to follow the indicating pointer. The low and high trip point indicators arrest the switch operator pointer. As pressure decreases or increases through the principal of lost motion, the respective snapswitch is tripped.

The 45APE Series models are widely used in applications requiring pressure indication and Form C low and high pressure switches.
