EL/EM Series Pressure Gauges
The EL and EM Series pressure gauges are designed to offer the best durability in the industry. Sanitary pressure gauges are subjected to repeated process and environmental abuse in the form of vibration, pulsation, harsh cleaning chemicals, wide-ranging temperatures, and humidity swings.
EL and EM gauges were designed to be the toughest, most reliable gauges for any sanitary application, up to 1,000 psig. With over 30 years of experience building and repairing hundreds of thousands of gauges from a dozen different suppliers, Anderson identified and addressed all these key causes of premature failure in hygienic processing applications.
Applications
The EL Series of analog pressure gauges are designed for food, dairy, beverage, or similar hygienic processing applications, with a standard 316L stainless diaphragm polished to 25 µin Ra. The EL gauge is authorized to carry the 3-A symbol.
High purity applications in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and similar industries will prefer the EM analog gauge with a diaphragm polished to 8 µin Ra. Both the EL and EM gauges are available with optional Hastelloy® C-22® diaphragms for use with corrosive products.
Dimensional Data
Standard Design
EL and EM gauges feature all stainless steel, all welded design for corrosion, shock, and vibration resistance. Gauges are available with standard mechanical dampening or traditional case-fill for high pulsation/vibration applications. The case and bezel design, unique to the industry, yields a low, narrow profile, while maximizing crystal protection against drops and impacts.

EN/EP Digital Pressure Gauge/Switch
The EN and EP digital pressure gauge platform is designed specifically for monitoring critical pressure applications in hygienic processing industries. These digital gauges provide a battery-powered, local display of pressure that is six times more accurate than its mechanical counter-part.
Additionally, this product has three times the over-range capacity and five to ten times the resolution of traditional mechanical pressure indicators. The switch version includes two fully adjustable switches with low-voltage relay outputs for simple control and/or alarming applications.
In addition to the greater accuracy, capacity, and resolution, these digital pressure gauges offer improved reliability over traditional gauges, because they do not utilize mechanical actuation. The large display makes the pressure readable from longer distances, while the switching and alarming features are ideal for critical applications or those where simple control is needed.
Applications
The EN Series digital pressure gauges are designed for food, dairy, beverage, or similar hygienic processing applications, with a standard 316L stainless diaphragm polished to 25 µin Ra.
High purity applications in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and similar industries will prefer the EP digital gauge with a diaphragm polished to 8 µin Ra.
Both the EN and EP gauges are available with optional Hastelloy® C-22® diaphragms for use with corrosive products.
STANDARD DESIGN
EN and EP Series pressure gauges are constructed entirely of welded stainless steel and are designed to be cleaned and steamed in place (CIP/SIP). Both the gauges and switch version carry a NEMA 4x rating to withstand washdown. Anderson digital pressure gauges offer improved reliability over traditional gauges because they do not utilize mechanical actuation.
Several other features have been incorporated that customers will find beneficial, including a simple, tamper-resistant user interface for easy calibration and programming. The units are programmable for engineering units and all compound units boast autoscaling to the appropriate units.
There is also a “min/max” data capture feature that facilitates process and equipment troubleshooting. The gauges are powered by two AA batteries and will operate up to a year before the low battery indicator comes on. The switch version operates continuously on DC loop power, with battery backup possible, to support offsite programming.
