Elesa+Ganter 111016 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111016 oil level indicator , stock code HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P, is a robust HCK.127 column level indicator designed for industrial systems that require enhanced corrosion resistance and reliable fluid visibility. Its AISI 316 stainless steel fixing elements make it especially relevant for demanding environments where standard fasteners may not provide sufficient durability.

Material and Design Details

This model uses glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer assembly ends, a natural aluminium support, and a removable white lacquered aluminium graduated contrast screen. The transparent level tube is made from borosilicate glass, helping operators view oil or glycol-based fluid levels clearly during routine inspection.

The product code highlights several important technical details. “127” refers to the indicator size, “SST316” identifies AISI 316 stainless steel fixing components, “M12” indicates the mounting thread, “FKM” refers to fluoroelastomer sealing rings, and “GL” defines suitability for oil, water, and glycol-based solutions. Together, these features make the unit appropriate for hydraulic power units, lubrication reservoirs, process machinery, and systems exposed to moisture or cleaning routines.

Operational Benefits

The Elesa+Ganter 111016 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P oil level indicator helps maintenance teams detect abnormal fluid levels before they become operational problems. A low level may indicate leakage, consumption, or improper filling, while overfilling can create pressure, foaming, or thermal expansion issues. A clear visual indicator supports faster inspection without disturbing the tank.

Elesa+Ganter 111016 AISI 316 Oil Level Indicator FAQ

Why is AISI 316 stainless steel important?

AISI 316 stainless steel provides stronger corrosion resistance than many standard stainless grades, especially in humid or chemically challenging environments.

Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil?

Yes, it is designed for oil level monitoring in hydraulic and lubrication systems, provided the application conditions match the product limits.

What does GL mean in the code?

GL indicates compatibility with oil, water, and glycol-based solutions under suitable pressure and temperature conditions.

Does this indicator include FKM sealing?

Yes, the FKM code confirms fluoroelastomer sealing rings, often chosen for improved temperature and fluid resistance.

Can it support preventive maintenance?

Yes. By making fluid level checks quick and visible, it helps maintenance teams identify leaks, refill needs, and operating anomalies earlier.
