Sanitary Neck-Flanged Sight Glass
The Neck-Flanged Sight Glass incorporates extended pipe necks welded to each flange, creating stand-off distance between the process pipeline and the glass viewing window. This design isolates the glass from direct pipe stress and thermal shock, greatly extending service life in demanding high-temperature or high-vibration environments. All wetted surfaces are finished to hygienic standards.
