Select the strongest and most reliable sight glass for process observation
Chemical and pharmaceutical processes require safety and reliability, particularly, with high-pressure environments. Sight glasses provide critical visibility into these processes, but not all sight glasses are created equally. A long-standing debate exists over what truly determines the strength of a fused sight glass: the fusion of glass to metal or the compression forces at play.
This white paper, Compression vs. Fusion: The Source of Strength in Fused Sight Glasses for Chemical and Pharmaceutical Processes, presents the science behind sight glass strength, analyzing:
- The role of compression in strengthening glass and creating a leak-proof seal
- The effects of different glass and metal combinations on sight glass performance
- A detailed comparison between soda lime and borosilicate glass, as well as various metal alloys.
By reading this paper, you will gain:
- A clear understanding of why compression, not fusion, dictates sight glass reliability
- Key insights into how material selection affects pressure resistance and safety
- Data-driven conclusions to help you select the best sight glass for your needs.
