TRANSPARENT FLAT GAUGE GLASS FOR OBSERVING OF LIQUID LEVEL
Transparent flat gauge glass, also called transparent sight glass, transparent level glass and transparent level gauge, is usually made of borosilicate glass and aluminosilicate glass. The glass is manufactured into the strip shape and used in boiler or some instruments for observing the liquid level.
Reflex Gauge Glass, designed with a prismatic surface facing the liquid in a tank or boiler, enhances visibility, ideal for low to medium pressure applications. In contrast, Transparent Level Glass, a fully transparent material, allows for direct observation of the liquid, useful for color-indicating substances or applications requiring inspection of liquid characteristics. Though suitable for high-pressure applications, it tends to be more expensive and may need more maintenance due to occasional mica shield replacements.

1,Materials
Our Transparent Gauge Glasses are composed of two high-grade materials – borosilicate glass and aluminosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass, renowned for its outstanding resistance to heat and chemical corrosion, ensures a high degree of durability for our products. Meanwhile, Aluminosilicate glass adds to the toughness and scratch resistance of our gauge glasses, making them well-suited for demanding industrial applications.
One key feature of our Transparent Gauge Glasses is the excellent transparency offered by both borosilicate and aluminosilicate glasses. This ensures that the liquid level can be observed clearly without any distortion, irrespective of the lighting conditions or the nature of the liquid being measured.
2,Features
Our Transparent Gauge Glasses are manufactured in a strip shape, which makes them ideal for use in boilers and similar instruments where observing the liquid level is crucial. This unique design not only provides a clear view of fluid levels but also enhances the overall usability and functionality of the equipment they are installed in.
3,Surface Treatment
We take great care in the surface treatment of our Transparent Gauge Glasses. First method is as same with reflex Gauge Glasses, both sides of the glass are ground and polished to ensure optimal transparency, allowing for the accurate monitoring of fluid levels. The second method，we use a high borosilicate sheet of 17mm thickness, which is then cut according to the required size. The side face of the glass sheet is polished to achieve a smooth finish, preventing any risk of injury during installation or operation.
4,Manufacturing Process
Our Transparent Gauge Glasses are created using two primary manufacturing techniques:
Mold-Based Manufacturing: Similar to the process used for reflex Gauge Glasses, we employ molds to create semi-finished products. After the initial shaping, we undertake careful grinding and polishing on both sides of the glass to ensure optimal transparency. While this method offers a straightforward manufacturing process, it may result in slightly less precise visual clarity compared to our second method.
Sheet-Based Manufacturing: The second technique involves using a High Borosilicate sheet of 17mm thickness. Each glass sheet is precisely cut according to the required dimensions, and the side face is polished for a smooth finish. This technique delivers superior clarity and transparency, making it ideal for applications where precision viewing is crucial. However, due to the specialized materials and processes used, the cost for products produced by this method is relatively higher.
Regardless of the manufacturing technique used, all our Transparent Gauge Glasses are produced according to DIN7081 and DIN7080 standards. These stringent standards ensure that our products consistently meet the high levels of quality and performance that our customers expect from us.
