Overview
The CSE 5H-K-03-GF is a sanitary homogenizer pressure gauge designed for precise pressure monitoring in food processing, beverage, and dairy equipment. This 5-inch dial gauge measures 0–1000 PSI and features pulsation dampening technology that protects the internal movement from the shock and vibration inherent in high-pressure homogenizer systems. The all-stainless-steel construction (304L case and lens ring) meets 3-A and NEMA 4X/IP67 compliance standards, making it ideal for wet, corrosive, and sanitary environments.
Key Features
- Pulsation Dampening System: Glycerin-filled case isolates gauge movement from homogenizer vibration and shock, extending instrument life
- 304L Stainless Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant case, lens ring, and internals for washdown and sanitary applications
- High Accuracy: ±1.5% of full-scale accuracy with ±0.5% repeatability and linearity
- Food-Grade Compliance: 3-A, NEMA 4X, and IP67 certified for dairy, beverage, and food processing facilities
- Re-Zeroing Adjustment: Standard on all units for field calibration
- UV-Printed Dial: Aluminum dial face with permanent UV inks—no adhesive stickers that degrade in wet environments
