Temperatures<\/strong><br \/>\nDIN 8902 and DIN 8903 can be used at temperatures up to 150 \u00b0C and 100 \u00b0C. DIN 7080 and DIN 7081 can withstand higher temperatures \u2013 up to 280\u00b0 C. High pressure affects the temperature maximum the glass can withstand<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Pressure<\/strong><br \/>\nMirit Glas has many different glass\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/raw-materials\/\">thicknesses in stock<\/a>. If we know the diameter and clearance of the glass (the part of the glass that is not covered by the flange), we can find the right thickness so that the glass can withstand the desired pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The substance behind the glass<\/strong><br \/>\nAre there chemicals, oils or anything else in the container? What process is done behind the glass? Glass is generally resistant to most chemicals, but for example steam under pressure is a very aggressive process to ordinary glass, so special precautions must be taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. The application<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy a sight glass? Just to able to look in visually, or does the application require that electronic sensors are able to measure through the glass? In that case, we need to pay attention to the transmission at certain wavelengths.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fdd321a elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5fdd321a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact us today<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbd4ec4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bbd4ec4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53af9ee7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"53af9ee7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6841ed70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6841ed70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>WHAT IS A SIGHT GLASS?<\/h4>\n<p>A sight glass is a common term for a glass that is used to get an overview of a process. It can be a boiler glass where you can see into a boiler. It can also be a glass tube that gives an overview of oil flow or a glass that makes it possible to see into a grain drying plant. Sight glasses are available in many varieties. What they have in common is that they make it possible to see otherwise hidden parts of a production.<\/p>\n<h4>IS A PETROL PIPE A SIGHT GLASS?<\/h4>\n<p>Sight glass is a broad term for a tube or glass that is used to keep an eye on, among other things, a process, a liquid or a combustion.<\/p>\n<h4>IS A SIGHTGLASS ALWAYS MADE OF ORDINARY GLASS?<\/h4>\n<p>A sight glass is made from the type of glass that makes sense. Many spectacle glasses, for example, are made of borosilicate glass. Others are made as heated windows to prevent fogging. Some sight glasses are made of Robax, which is very heat resistant because the purpose is to monitor a burn.<\/p>\n<h4>ARE SIGHT GLASSES ALWAYS ROUND?<\/h4>\n<p>A sight glass can be square, round or a glass tube. Sight glasses are manufactured to suit the situation. Many of the spectacle glasses that Mirit Glas manufactures are not round, oblong, shaped or square.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":334,"template":"","class_list":["post-2595","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5872,"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2595\/revisions\/5872"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miritglas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
