Elesa+Ganter 111008 HCK-PP.76-SST316-M10-VMQ-GL-P Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111008 level indicator, identified as HCK-PP.76-SST316-M10-VMQ-GL-P, is a technical fluid level monitoring component developed for applications involving acids, bases and selected solvents. Unlike standard oil level indicators, this HCK-PP version uses glass-fibre reinforced polypropylene based technopolymer assembly ends, making it a practical choice for more chemically sensitive installations.

Material Design for Chemical Environments

The PP assembly ends are combined with AISI 316 stainless steel screws, nuts and washers. This helps improve durability where corrosion resistance matters. The level tube is made from transparent borosilicate glass, while the red VMQ silicone packing rings support reliable sealing. The front polycarbonate protection plate can be removed for cleaning, which is useful in maintenance-focused industrial settings.

Key Technical Characteristics

This 76 mm model uses an M10 connection and has compact overall dimensions suitable for smaller tanks and process equipment. The HCK-PP series is designed for maximum fluid level visibility, including from side positions. It is not intended for aromatic hydrocarbons, so fluid compatibility should always be checked before installation.

Typical Applications

The Elesa+Ganter 111008 HCK-PP level indicator is often considered for chemical handling systems, laboratory machinery, treatment equipment, industrial tanks and fluid reservoirs where visual monitoring is required without opening the container. Its 80°C maximum continuous working temperature makes it suitable for many controlled process environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Elesa+Ganter 111008 different from standard HCK indicators?

The HCK-PP version uses polypropylene based assembly ends and VMQ silicone packing rings, making it more suitable for acid, base and selected solvent applications.

Can it be used with aromatic hydrocarbons?

No. The HCK-PP technical data states that it is not resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons. Compatibility must be verified before use.

What is the purpose of the front protection plate?

The polycarbonate protection plate helps protect the glass tube and can be removed during cleaning operations.

Is this model suitable for compact installations?

Yes. With its 76 mm hole centre distance and M10 connection, it is useful where a smaller level indicator is required.
