Elesa+Ganter 111038 HCK-PP.254-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 111038 HCK-PP.254-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P level indicator is designed for applications where fluid visibility, chemical compatibility, and reliable mechanical fastening are essential. As part of the HCK-PP family, this indicator is especially relevant for systems handling acidic, alkaline, or solvent-based liquids, provided the actual operating conditions are verified for compatibility.

The product type is a column level indicator with a 254 mm nominal size. Its PP assembly ends support chemical resistance, while the SST316 reference indicates AISI 316 stainless steel fixing screws. The VMQ designation refers to silicone sealing elements, a practical choice in environments where elastomer compatibility matters. The M12 mounting format supports secure installation in tanks, reservoirs, and process equipment.

Where It Is Used

This indicator is commonly considered for chemical tanks, auxiliary reservoirs, industrial cleaning systems, laboratory equipment, and fluid control units where visual level checking is preferred over purely electronic monitoring. The GL-P configuration supports clear observation and protected use, helping operators inspect fluid level without opening the system.

Key Technical Benefits

Its main advantage is the combination of polypropylene body components, stainless fixing hardware, and silicone sealing. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 111038 HCK-PP.254-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P level indicator suitable for demanding fluid environments where standard oil indicators may not be appropriate. It is not intended as a universal solution for every chemical; aromatic hydrocarbons and special pressure or temperature conditions should always be assessed before installation.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 111038 HCK-PP.254-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P used for?

It is used to visually monitor fluid levels in tanks and reservoirs, particularly where chemical resistance is more important than standard hydraulic oil compatibility.

What does HCK-PP mean?

HCK-PP identifies a level indicator series with polypropylene assembly ends, developed for improved resistance against acids, bases, and many solvents.

Why is SST316 important?

SST316 refers to AISI 316 stainless steel fixing screws, which offer better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel hardware in many industrial environments.

Is this product suitable for all chemicals?

No. It is suitable for many demanding liquids, but chemical compatibility must be checked under real working conditions, especially with temperature, pressure, and concentration changes.
