Metaglas Sight Glass
In industrial processes sight glass failure is a major concern, such failures disrupt production, waste valuable products, require significant cleanup and repair, and most importantly, risk safety. Metaglas is the strongest and most secure sight glass for sight window and visual flow indicator applications. Manufactured to DIN 7079, Metaglas is produced to the highest safety glass standard in the industry. Applications best suited for Metaglas include chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, offshore drilling, and more. Mechanically prestressed Metaglas windows and sight glasses are constructed of borosilicate glass fused with a metal ring, providing an alternative to conventionally annealed or thermally prestressed (toughened) glass discs. Providing the optics of glass with the strength of steel, Metaglas mitigates the possibility of a sudden, unexpected rupture, and any crack that might develop, at worst, may slightly affect visibility. In addition to the unsurpassed pressure and impact resistance, the metal ring provides rigidity to prevent breakage in the event of uneven bolt tightening during installation. Metaglas products have been tested and approved by safety testing departments of several major chemical and other companies under a variety of conditions. With years of process observation expertise, Visilume can determine processes that require the unsurpassed strength of Metaglas.
