METAGLAS BOROSILICATE SIGHT GLASS FOR SIGHT WINDOWS
Fused borosilicate sight glass for sight windows and sight flow indicator applications.
Overview
Mechanically prestressed Metaglas sight windows and sight glasses are constructed of borosilicate glass fused with a dimensionally adapted metal frame-ring, providing an alternative to conventionally annealed or thermally prestressed (tempered) sight glass discs.
Providing the optics of glass with the strength of steel, Metaglas mitigates the possibility of a sudden, unexpected rupture, and any crack that might develop, at worst, may slightly affect visibility. In addition to the unsurpassed pressure and impact resistance, the metal frame provides rigidity to prevent breakage in the event of uneven bolt tightening during installation.
Metaglas products have been tested and approved by safety testing departments of several major chemical and other companies under a variety of conditions, most exceeding those normally encountered in practice. With years of process observation expertise, L.J. Star can determine processes that require the unsurpassed strength of Metaglas.
