Sanitary Stainless Steel Four-Way/Straight-Through Flange Sight Glass
Product Description
1. Product Overview
Sanitary stainless steel four-way/straight-through flange sight glasses are critical observation devices in industrial pipeline systems, widely used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries to monitor the flow state, color changes, and reactions of liquids, gases, or vapors in real time. Key features include:
- Sanitary Design: Mirror-polished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) compliant with **GMP, 3A, and IDF standards**, suitable for high-cleanliness environments (e.g., food and pharmaceuticals).
- Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from **SUS304, 316L, 2205 duplex steel**, or optional fluoropolymer-lined/FRP materials for harsh chemical media.
- Structural Versatility: Available in four-way (360° observation) or straight-through configurations, adaptable to diverse installation scenarios.
2. Technical Specifications
1. Materials
- Body: 304, 316L, 2205 duplex steel, 904L stainless steel.
- Window: Tempered borosilicate glass (≤280°C), quartz glass (≤1000°C), pressure-rated 0.6-2.5 MPa.
- Seals: NBR, PTFE, or graphite gaskets (high-temperature applications).
2. Operating Conditions
- Temperature Range:
- Stainless steel body: -196°C to +600°C.
- Glass window: Up to 1000°C (quartz).
- Pressure Range: 0.6-2.5 MPa (standard); customizable up to 10 MPa (quartz).
3. Dimensions & Standards
- Port Sizes: DN20-DN200; custom sizes available.
- Flange Standards: HG, GB, ANSI, JIS, DIN; complies with **Chemical Industry Standards HGJ501-502-86**.
3. Core Structure & Features
1. Components
- Base plate, viewing window, sealing gaskets, flanges, and fasteners.
- Four-way type enables multi-angle monitoring; straight-through suits linear pipelines.
2. Functional Advantages
- Leak-proof Sealing: RF, MFM flange faces for high-pressure environments.
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Tolerates ≤60°C abrupt temperature changes.
- Easy Maintenance: Quick-disassembly design reduces downtime.
4. Applications
- Chemical Industry: Monitors corrosive media (acids, alkalis) to prevent crystallization or blockages.
- Pharmaceutical & Food: Ensures transparency and hygiene in sterile pipelines (e.g., drug solutions, dairy).
- Energy & Environmental: Tracks high-temperature steam, oils, or wastewater in treatment systems.
5. Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
1. Installation
- Clean glass with alcohol wipes (avoid acidic cleaners).
- Tighten bolts diagonally and evenly to prevent glass cracking.
- Use graphite gaskets for high-temperature or PTFE for cryogenic environments.
2. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect glass for corrosion (shorten intervals in harsh conditions).
- Replace glass with intact sealing surfaces to avoid leaks.
