Mica discs for transparent borosilicate glass according to DIN 7081 as reliable heat protection and to ensure functionality
Mica discs are an effective accessory for sight glass rods made of borosilicate glass according to DIN 7081. They serve as heat protection and a protective layer between the process medium and the glass surface, especially in applications with aggressive media, overheated steam, or high temperatures.
In conjunction with MAXOS® borosilicate glass rods according to DIN 7081, operating temperatures of up to 320 °C are possible. The mica discs significantly extend the lifespan of the sight glass rods.
The principle of operation is based on the high temperature and chemical resistance of natural muscovite mica. The mica disc is positioned between the process medium and the sight glass without significantly impairing optical transparency. This prevents the borosilicate glass from being damaged by erosive or corrosive media as well as thermal shocks.
