Product information

The high-pressure flow sight glass Type 520 is a robust sight glass for industrial high-pressure applications. The sight glass is integrated into piping systems as a wafer-type version and enables safe visual process inspection or illumination of liquid and gaseous media.

The fitting has flange connections according to DIN EN 1092-1 and covers the nominal pressure ratings from PN 63 to PN 400. This makes Type 520 suitable for applications where processes under high operating pressures need to be reliably observed.

The two opposite viewing windows enable process observation from both sides as well as targeted illumination of the medium. The sight glass plates are made of high-quality thermally pre-stressed borosilicate glass manufactured according to DIN 7080.

The body, connection flanges and cover flanges are manufactured as standard from corrosion-resistant stainless steel 1.4571. For highly aggressive media or high thermal loads, particularly resistant special materials such as nickel-based alloys or Hastelloy are possible through individual special designs.

Material selection & options

The high-pressure flow sight glass Type 520 is designed for demanding process conditions and engineered for permanently high pressure and temperature loads.

For particularly aggressive or thermally highly stressed media, special materials such as nickel-based alloys or Hastelloy are possible. This allows the flow sight glass to be adapted to chemical, thermal and process-related requirements.

The two opposite viewing windows are made of high-quality borosilicate glass according to DIN 7080. They enable safe process observation from two sides as well as targeted illumination of the medium.

For the sight glass, LED lights, mica protection screens, metal-fused safety sight glasses and application-specific special designs are possible, among other options. The optional accessories are used to adapt the high-pressure flow sight glass to increased safety requirements, temperature loads, lighting requirements or special process conditions.

Application areas

The high-pressure flow sight glass Type 520 is typically used in piping systems, process engineering plants and industrial high-pressure processes with liquid or gaseous media.

As a wafer-type version, the sight glass fitting can be integrated into the pipeline between flanges according to DIN EN 1092-1. The fitting is particularly suitable for applications in the chemical industry, petrochemicals, research and development and the energy industry.

When better visibility of flow, colour, turbidity or process condition is required, the medium can be specifically illuminated.
