Elesa+Ganter 11360 HCX.254-PT-SST-M12 Stainless Steel Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11360 HCX.254-PT-SST-M12 level indicator is a protected column level indicator for industrial fluid tanks where durability, clear visibility and improved corrosion resistance are required. It shares the extended 254 mm visual format of the HCX.254 range, while the SST execution adds stainless steel fixing hardware and an FKM packing ring.
Material and Sealing Configuration
The transparent body is made from polyamide-based technopolymer, offering resistance to shocks, oils with additives, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha and phosphoric esters. The PT protection frame is made from glass-fibre reinforced SUPER-technopolymer and helps protect the indicator from mechanical impact.
The SST version is technically important. It uses AISI 303 stainless steel screws together with AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers. The FKM sealing ring provides higher chemical and temperature resistance than standard NBR in many applications. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 11360 HCX.254-PT-SST-M12 level indicator a stronger option for environments where corrosion resistance and sealing reliability are key selection factors.
Operational Benefits
Fluid level can be read clearly through the transparent column. The lens effect improves visibility, while openings in the protection frame allow side viewing. In practical maintenance work, this means operators can check reservoir level quickly without removing covers or using a dipstick.
Common Use Cases
This indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, industrial oil tanks, machine tool reservoirs, lubrication systems and equipment placed in harsher ambient conditions. The stainless steel hardware makes it especially relevant for plants where humidity, washdown exposure or corrosion risk is higher.
