End Fitting / Housing: Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C

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.
