Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered mechanical component that serves as the termination point and protective enclosure for level gauge sight glass assemblies. It provides structural integrity, leak-proof sealing, and secure mounting interfaces between the sight glass tube and process connections in industrial fluid systems.
Working Principle
The end fitting/housing functions as a mechanical interface that securely connects the sight glass tube to process piping while maintaining pressure integrity. It typically incorporates sealing mechanisms (gaskets, O-rings, or compression fittings) and mounting features that allow visual inspection of fluid levels while containing process media safely.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), carbon steel, brass, or engineered plastics (PTFE, PVDF) depending on application requirements. Materials selected based on chemical compatibility, pressure ratings, and temperature ranges.
Technical Parameters
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sealing surfaces
  • Connection Type Threaded (NPT, BSP), Flanged, Tri-Clamp
  • Pressure Rating Up to 300 PSI (20 bar)
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C
  • Corrosion Resistance Per material selection standards
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN 11851, ASME BPE
