About Gauge Glass Pair
Gauge Glass Pair is most commonly utilized for monitoring level of liquid inside tanks or vessels. It finds application in dairy, chemical, food processing, and brewing industries. This gauge is provided with handwheel for opening & closing of port as per need. It is greatly admired for having ability to bear high amount of pressure and showing compatibility for air, water, gas, and most chemicals. Gauge Glass Pair has compact structural configuration hence can safely & easily be located inside the vessel. It can be availed at highly competitive rates in bulk & different configurations for our trusted clients.
Versatile CompatibilityOur Gauge Glass Pair is engineered for compatibility with a variety of industrial fluids, including water, steam, and oil. The construction features borosilicate glass with optional acrylic or metal shields, ensuring durability and safety. Custom length options and multiple end fitting materials (brass, SS304, SS316) cater to specific installation and application requirements across industries.
High Visibility and SafetyDesigned with high-clarity transparent or reflex glass tubes, these gauge glasses provide direct level indication with high-visibility marks. Optional protection covers further enhance operator safety. The glass tubes withstand pressures up to 35 kg/cm and temperatures ranging from -20C to 200C, offering reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Easy Maintenance and InstallationThe gauge glass features a replaceable tube design for minimized downtime and reduced maintenance costs. Installation is straightforward, with options for threaded or flanged connections and port sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. Sealing options, including PTFE or graphite gaskets, ensure leak-free and long-lasting operation.
FAQs of Gauge Glass Pair:
Q: How do I determine the correct length and end fitting material for my Gauge Glass Pair?
A: The length and end fitting material depend on your process vessel dimensions and compatibility with process fluids. Standard length is 350 mm, but custom lengths are available. Brass and stainless steel (SS304 or SS316) end fittings are chosen based on chemical compatibility and application requirements.
Q: What is the recommended process for replacing the glass tube in the gauge glass pair?
A: To replace the glass tube, isolate the vessel, relieve pressure, and remove the protection cover if fitted. Unscrew the end fittings, gently remove the old tube, insert a new borosilicate glass tube, reassemble with PTFE or graphite gaskets for sealing, and reinstall. Always follow manufacturer safety guidelines during maintenance.
Q: When should I use an acrylic or metal shield for the gauge glass?
A: Acrylic or metal protection shields should be used in applications where additional safety from glass breakage or impact is required, especially in high-pressure or hazardous environments. The shield enhances operator safety and prolongs the lifespan of the gauge glass.
Q: Where can these gauge glass pairs be installed?
A: Gauge Glass Pairs are suitable for vertical installation on tanks, boilers, and process vessels in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other industrial settings where manual liquid level monitoring is essential.
Q: What are the benefits of using borosilicate glass and corrosion-resistant fittings?
A: Borosilicate glass offers high clarity and superior resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack, ensuring accurate level indication. Corrosion-resistant end fittings like SS304 or SS316 extend the life of the assembly, even in aggressive process media.
Q: How do I ensure compliance with industry standards when selecting a gauge glass pair?
A: Our gauge glass pairs comply with IS:2825, ASME Sec VIII, or equivalent standards. When selecting, verify that all materials, pressure ratings, and installation specifications match your regulatory and operational requirements.
