Witness fluid flow, liquid levels, and reaction processes directly within your pipelines or vessels. This state-of-the-art product merges hygienic stainless steel construction with a pressure-resistant high-transparency window and a robust hex flange sealing mechanism. Together, these components ensure superior functionality and cleanliness, meeting the most rigorous sterile production standards.
Key Features
1. Material & Hygiene Certifications
- Body Material: Crafted from SUS 304/316L stainless steel, this sight glass meets FDA, EHEDG, and 3-A Sanitary Standards. Its mirror polishing (Ra ≤0.6μm) or electropolishing features prevent microbial growth, making it suitable for the most hygiene-sensitive environments.
- Window Material: Choose between tempered borosilicate glass or quartz glass, known for their exceptional transparency and impact resistance. These materials withstand temperatures up to 200°C and are compliant with ISO 4802 standards for food-safe glass.
2. Hygienic Structural Design
- Hex Flange Connection: Its compact design utilizes internal hex bolts ensuring secure fastening. The flat sealing surfaces, combined with silicone/EPDM/PTFE gaskets, promise zero leakage and allow easy disassembly for thorough cleaning.
- Dead Space-Free: The flush-mounting with pipeline walls effectively eliminates crevices, preventing any residue buildup. It's designed for compatibility with CIP/SIP cleaning and sterilization processes.
3. Performance Specifications
- Pressure Resistance: Handles pressures from -0.1 to 1.0 MPa, with customization options up to 1.6 MPa for applications demanding high pressure.
- Temperature Range: Operates efficiently within -20°C to +150°C, with the window tolerating up to +250°C short-term.
- Media Compatibility: Suitable for a variety of substances such as water, steam, acid/alkali solutions, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals. For corrosive fluids, the 316L variant is recommended.
