Tank Sight Glasses

Sight level indicators for tanks are used for direct confirmation of liquid level, liquid presence, clarity, and possible interface formation in storage tanks, process vessels, and auxiliary systems. Selection should be based on design pressure, operating temperature, process fluid, chemical compatibility, corrosion conditions, installation position, and the required visual access during operation or maintenance.

This category includes Noris tank sight glasses, including types 118, 119, 120, 121, 121-A, 121-D, 121-I, 121-W, 127, 190, 195, 198, 220, 225, 230, 232, and 1205, as well as Tassalini and Mei sight glasses in W and R designs. Available configurations cover flanged or BSP connections, DIN or ANSI drilling, and pressure ratings from PN 2.5 to PN 25, as well as Class 300 and Class 600, depending on design and body construction.

Noris sight glasses type 118 are specified with flanged connection, DIN standard, PN 2.5 rating, and body materials 1.0038, 1.0425, 1.4541, or 1.4571. Material selection should be matched to the stored medium, vessel pressure, and corrosion allowance. Tassalini sight glasses are manufactured in AISI 304L or AISI 316L, with in-line or radial connections, Pyrex glass, optional external plexiglass shield, dedicated tie rods, and sealing arrangements intended to reduce mechanical loading and vibration transfer to the glass. Maximum operating pressure is 10 bar, with standard 120 grit surface finish.

The same range also includes double-window flow indicators with protective guard, Noris replacement sight indicators of types 120-D-HZ, 120-V, 121-H, 121-V, and 126-D-HZ, and Noris illuminators BKVLR and KEL for locations with limited visibility. During maintenance, the glass should be checked for cleanliness, gasket condition, bolt tightness, frame corrosion, external mechanical protection, and any fouling or deposits that may distort the true level indication or conceal leakage paths.
