Elesa+Ganter 11368-R Stainless Level Indicator: HCX.254/T-AR-SST-M12
The Elesa+Ganter 11368-R stainless level indicator is designed for industrial tanks and hydraulic reservoirs where level visibility, temperature reading and improved corrosion resistance are important. Its product type is a column level indicator with thermometer, identified by the full code HCX.254/T-AR-SST-M12.
The HCX.254 designation refers to the 254 mm level indicator size. The T section shows that this model includes a thermometer, making it suitable for applications where oil temperature needs to be checked during routine inspection. The AR reference indicates the alcohol-resistant product configuration, while SST identifies the stainless steel version. M12 indicates the mounting screw size.
Technical Advantages of the Stainless Version
The main technical difference of the Elesa+Ganter 11368-R HCX.254/T-AR-SST-M12 level indicator is the stainless steel hardware configuration. Stainless elements are preferred in humid, exposed or more demanding industrial environments because they provide better resistance to corrosion than standard zinc-plated steel.
This makes the model suitable for equipment installed near washing areas, processing lines, outdoor-protected machinery, marine-adjacent environments or production spaces where long service life is a priority. The level window supports fast oil level verification, while the thermometer helps maintenance teams understand whether the fluid is operating within a healthy temperature range.
Maintenance and Reliability
A reliable level indicator improves maintenance discipline. Instead of opening the tank or relying only on scheduled checks, operators can visually inspect oil level and temperature in seconds. For hydraulic power units and lubrication systems, this supports earlier intervention before low oil level or abnormal temperature becomes a larger mechanical issue.

FAQ
What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 11368-R?
It is an HCX.254 column level indicator with thermometer and stainless steel configuration.
What does SST mean in the code?
SST indicates a stainless steel version, generally preferred where corrosion resistance is required.
What is the benefit of the thermometer?
The thermometer allows operators to monitor fluid temperature directly, helping identify overheating or abnormal operating conditions.
Where can this model be used?
It can be used on hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks, lubrication units and industrial machinery requiring level and temperature visibility.
Why choose stainless over standard steel?
Stainless steel is more suitable for demanding environments because it offers better resistance against corrosion and surface degradation.
