Frequently asked questions
What are the end connections?+
Two 3 in. tri-clamp (sanitary ferrule) connections, one at each end. You will need a matching 3 in. clamp and gasket at each joint; the listing covers the sight glass assembly itself, so confirm clamps and gasket material separately.
What is it made from?+
304 stainless steel body and shroud, with a glass viewing section. Check 304's compatibility against your process fluid before use — 316 is the usual choice for halide- or chloride-bearing streams.
How tall is the viewing section?+
The sight glass height is 3 in. This is the short-body version, chosen when you want visual confirmation of flow or level without adding much overall length to a column or manifold.
What is the metal band around the glass for?+
It surrounds and retains the glass so the assembly can hold pressure better than a bare glass tube between ferrules. The listing does not state a pressure or temperature rating, so do not use it above the rating of the weakest component in your assembly without confirming the figure with us first.
How much does it weigh?+
5 lb as listed.
