The Circular sight glass fitting Type 322A is a reinforced, flange-mounted sight glass for high-pressure vessel applications designed according to the construction principles of DIN 28121 and suitable for carrier flanges per ASME B16.5. It is built to allow high working pressures and elevated-temperature executions with appropriate gaskets and glass materials.
Structure- Cover flange
- Glass cushion
- Sight glass (borosilicate similar to DIN 7080)
- Gasket
- Base flange
- Screws (tensioning performed via tension screws)
Options- LED light (for Ex and non-Ex areas)
- Spraying device SVII (not possible for Type 322A at high working pressure)
- FEP or Halar® coating for chemical resistance
- Mica protection disc (for additional protection against temperature and steam)
- Special constructions / custom designs
Accessories (examples)- Round mica discs (protection against chemical influences or steam)
- LED lights in different designs
