Jacoby Tarbox Model 860-F Cylindrical Unit |

 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.
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. |
