Sanitary Four Way Cross Sight Glass
The Four-Way (Cross) Sight Glass is a cross-shaped inline viewing device with four ports arranged at 90-degree intervals. It provides simultaneous visual access from two perpendicular directions and can also serve as a cross-piece combining a straight flow path with two lateral viewing or access ports. The design is fully hygienic with smooth internal contours to eliminate dead zones.
Sanitary Four Way Cross Sight Glass
Key Features
- Four-port cross configuration allows observation from multiple angles simultaneously.
- Can function as a cross fitting and sight glass in one compact unit.
- Smooth, crevice-free internal geometry eliminates dead zones for full CIP/SIP cleaning.
- All four ports accept standard tri-clamp or flanged connections.
- Borosilicate glass windows on two or more ports for maximum visibility.
Technical Specifications
- Maximum Working Pressure: 10 bar (145 psi).
- Operating Temperature: -20 degrees C to 140 degrees C (-4 degrees F to 284 degrees F).
- Surface Roughness: Ra ≤0.8um
