Sanitary Rectangular (Strip) Sight Glass
The Rectangular (Strip) Sight Glass features an elongated rectangular or strip-shaped glass window set into a flat or cylindrical housing, providing an extended viewing area along the length of the flow channel. This design is commonly used on tanks, vessels, and large-diameter pipelines where a wide observation zone is required to monitor liquid levels, foam formation, colour changes, or phase separation.
