Elesa+Ganter 111028 HCK-PP.176-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111028 level indicator, with the complete code HCK-PP.176-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P, is designed for applications involving acid or base liquids where standard oil level indicators may not be suitable. This model belongs to the HCK-PP range and combines polypropylene assembly ends, AISI 316 stainless steel fixing components, silicone sealing rings, and a protected glass level tube.

Technical Features

The 176 mm centre distance and M12 fixing size make this indicator practical for compact industrial tanks and process equipment. The “PP” construction refers to polypropylene assembly ends, selected for resistance to many acids, bases, and solvents. The “SST316” hardware improves corrosion resistance, while “VMQ” identifies silicone sealing rings. The “GL” marking indicates a transparent borosilicate glass tube, and “P” means the indicator includes front protection.

Application Advantages

The Elesa+Ganter 111028 HCK-PP.176-SST316-M12-VMQ-GL-P level indicator is especially relevant in chemical handling, process tanks, cleaning systems, and equipment where fluid compatibility is a key concern. Its material combination helps provide dependable visual monitoring in environments where acids or alkaline liquids are present. However, actual compatibility should always be checked against the exact liquid, temperature, and pressure conditions.

Clear Fluid Visibility

Fast visual inspection supports safer operation and better maintenance discipline. The glass tube provides a clear viewing path, while the protected design helps reduce the risk of accidental impact. Operators can identify level changes without opening the tank, helping limit contamination and unnecessary system exposure.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 111028 designed for?

It is designed for visual level monitoring in systems using compatible acid or base liquids, especially where polypropylene and AISI 316 stainless steel are beneficial.

What does HCK-PP mean?

HCK-PP identifies the polypropylene version of the level indicator range. It is intended for applications where resistance to acids, bases, and certain solvents is required.

Are the seals different from standard HCK models?

Yes. This model uses VMQ silicone sealing rings instead of NBR or FKM seals, making it suitable for different fluid compatibility requirements.

Is it resistant to every chemical?

No. Chemical resistance depends on the exact fluid, temperature, concentration, and pressure. Compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

Why does this model use AISI 316 stainless steel?

AISI 316 stainless steel offers enhanced corrosion resistance, which is important in environments involving aggressive liquids or frequent cleaning processes.
