Elesa+Ganter 111313 Visual Flow Indicator: HVF.92-E-3/8 Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 111313 visual flow indicator, known by its model code HVF.92-E-3/8, is designed for hydraulic and cooling circuits where operators need both visual confirmation of liquid movement and an electrical signal for monitoring. This product type combines a transparent technopolymer body, brass bosses, and an inductive flow-meter sensor, making it suitable for machine tools, cooling systems, industrial fluid lines, and automation equipment where flow reliability matters.
Key Technical Features
The HVF.92-E-3/8 version has a 3/8 inch connection, 92 mm body height, 60 mm length, 40 mm width, and a maximum pressure rating of 15 bar. Its total measuring range is 1.2 to 20 l/min, while the linear measuring range is 3 to 20 l/min. Within the linear range, the pulse signal can be used for flow monitoring with strong repeatability when the fluid and operating conditions are stable.
The built-in inductive sensor is separated from the liquid passage area and detects the rotor clips as the flow moves through the indicator. The sensor operates with a 10–30 Vdc power supply, 10 mA input, PNP output, 200 mA maximum load, short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, and an M12x1 4-pole connector. The IP67 protection class supports dependable use in demanding industrial environments.
Where This Product Type Is Used
As a compact visual flow indicator with flow-meter sensor, the Elesa+Ganter 111313 visual flow indicator is often selected for circuits where a blocked line, reduced flow, or unexpected interruption could affect equipment performance. In cooling lines, it helps maintenance teams confirm that liquid is moving before heat-sensitive components are exposed to risk. In hydraulic accessories and process systems, it supports a practical link between visual inspection and PLC-based monitoring.
Installation Notes
For accurate operation, the circuit should be washed and purged before installation. Clean fluid conditions help protect the rotor and reduce the chance of particles affecting rotation. It is also good practice to install the indicator before valves or components that may create cavitation or air bubbles, as these can influence measurement stability.
