 Cylindrical
Sheathed Tube Models are recommended for applications where increased
visibility is required. They may be used in pipe line systems
that operate under some degree of mechanical strain, with
sheathing providing the necessary indicator protection and support.
To enhance quality and performance, the bodies (sheaths)
of the 4000-S Armored Full-View model uses ASTM B-62
Bronze. The body of the Armored Full-View Sight
Flow is not considered a wetted component. The
medium passing through the Armored Full-View Sight
Flow Indicator comes in contact with only the glass
and the connection ends.
Similar to the Full-View, the Armored Full-View Sight
Flow Indicators are unique because the "characteristics" of
the liquid can be viewed. A typical sight
flow allows observation of liquids through a glass
pane while the Full-View sight flow allows observation
of liquids in transit through a more dynamic, 3-dimensional
pipeline. Designing the Full-View to match the
pipe diameter streamlines the liquid flow through the
sight flow and helps to keep solids from settling.
Models are constructed
using borosilicate tube glass and various "head" metals
depending on application. Note: System content
does not contact indicator bodies, only indicator heads,
glass and gasketing.
The Style 4000-S is also a tube type
of a lighter construction, using bronze bodies with
heads made from bar stock of various metals. This
construction allows a semi-automatic production with
resulting lower unit costs. |
