 The
Armored Full-View Sight Flow Indicators are recommended for low-pressure
applications where maximum visibility is needed. Units can
be mounted in vertical or horizontal orientations. The glass
sheath is designed to protect the glass from external mechanical
hits. See

To enhance quality and performance, the bodies (sheaths)
of the 860-F Armored Full-View model uses ASTM A278
Ductile Iron Class 30. 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.
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. 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.
Style 860-F is
provided with a rugged cast iron body and the ends
are heavy castings of metals required for a specific
service. The joints around the cylinders are
made through a stuffing box type seal. |
