INOX-Stainless Steel
The high resistance to corrosion of stainless steel makes it one of the most demanded materials in many industrial sectors.
ELESA offers a wide range of plastic items with AISI 303, AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel insert or completely made out of AISI stainless steel: handwheels, knobs, handles, positioning and control elements, accessories for hydraulic systems, levelling elements and hinges which guarantee the best performance in sectors which require, by law, stainless steel elements.
Designed for:
Food processing
Chemical
Pharmaceutical
In compliance with the most rigorous hygienic laws
RoHS compliancy
The majority of the standard products available in the ELESA catalogue are compliant with the European Directive 2002/95/CE (RoHS directive, Restriction on Hazardous Substances).
However, there are some exceptions for some products which are not yet compliant owing to technological limits in the field of research in raw materials hence not due to ELESA's direct responsibility.By clicking on each product code in the table, you can directly check the status of the product as to RoHS compliancy.
All compliant products are supplied with a label showing the RoHS symbol.

# Maximum tightening torque.
Material
Transparent polyamide based (PA-T) technopolymer. Highly resistant to shocks, solvents, oils with additives, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha, phosphoric esters. Avoid contact with alcohol or detergents containing alcohol.
The special technopolymer used for HCX-BW-SST column level indicator allows to use it even in circuits working with very hot water and prevents milk effect on the transparent surface.
Screws, nuts and washers
AISI 303 stainless steel screws, AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers.
Packing rings
FKM type VITON®*O-Ring.
Contrast screen
White lacquered aluminium. The housing, in the appropriate external rear slot, guarantees the best protection from direct contact with fluid, avoiding yellowing effect due to the prolonged action of the fluid at high temperatures.
It can be removed before installation to fit marks and words (for example MAX-MIN), in the needed positions.
Assembly
- By means of the supplied set screws and nuts.
- By means of the supplied set screws, without nuts, by tapping the two holes in the reservoir walls, if they are thick enough.
To ensure the best sealing of the O-rings it is recommended to apply the maximum torque on the nuts as reported in the table and a roughness of the gasket application surface Ra = 3 µm.
Maximum continuous working temperature
80°C with peaks of 90°C.
Features and performances
The body of the indicator, entirely in transparent material, is assembled using ultrasound welding to guarantee a perfect seal.
Maximum fluid level visibility even from side positions.
Level visibility magnified by lens effect.
Technical data
In laboratory tests carried out with mineral oil type CB68 (according to ISO 3498) at 23°C for a limited period of time, the weld stood up as follows:
- HCX.76-BW-SST 10 bar
- HCX.127-BW-SST 10 bar
- HCX.254-BW-SST 10 bar
If you need to use the indicator with other oils or fluids and under different pressure and temperature conditions, please contact ELESA Technical Department. In any case we suggest to verify the suitability of the product under the actual working conditions.
