Applications

Gaskets have a multitude of applications, in sight glasses, the gaskets fit between the glass and the body of the sight glass, forming a cushion to prevent glass from being chipped or scratched, and also forming a secure water tight seal.

Description

Choosing the correct gasket material is essential for safe operation of the sight glass. The engineer should consider the operating temperature and pressure and also the media flowing through the gauge itself. If you are able to advise the above, we can recommend a gasket that will ensure safe operation.
