FAQs of SIGHT GLASS:
Q: How is a sight glass typically installed in a pipeline system?
A: A sight glass is installed by bolting its flange end directly onto the corresponding pipeline flange, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection that allows for safe inspection of flow or process media.
Q: What benefits do materials like SS304, SS316, CS, CI, and PTFE lined construction provide for sight glasses?
A: These materials offer excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical interaction, and temperature extremes, making the sight glasses durable and appropriate for a wide range of industrial fluids and environments.
Q: When should a sight glass be used in industrial operations?
A: A sight glass is used whenever visual monitoring of fluid levels, color, clarity, or flow within a pipeline is required for process assurance and safety.
Q: Where are flange end sight glasses commonly applied?
A: Flange end sight glasses are often found in chemical processing plants, oil and gas facilities, water treatment stations, and other industrial environments needing secure glass covers for pipeline inspection.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct size of sight glass for my application?
A: Select the sight glass size (15 NB to 200 NB) based on the diameter of the pipeline where visual inspection is required. Consider the operating pressure, fluid type, and application to ensure appropriate material compatibility and visibility.
Q: How does using a sight glass benefit operational safety and efficiency?
A: A sight glass enables real-time monitoring of process fluids, helping operators quickly detect irregularities or contamination and respond promptly, thus enhancing both safety and productivity.
