KLINGER transparent glasses 

are manufactured from borosilicate glass ("extra-hard"). The surfaces on both sides are finely grounded and polished to ensure optimal transparency.

Applications:

In steam service above 35 bar and for media with a high pH-value, KLINGER transparent glasses must be protected by a mica shield on the side facing the medium chamber. Transparent glasses should always be chosen for contaminated, viscous or corrosive media. Within the given service limitations they may be used for all media except steam at pressures up to 340 bar or temperatures up to 400°C.

Types of transparent glasses:

There are four different types of transparent gauge glasses: A, B, H und TA-28. Dimensions, weight and field of application can be found in the product catalogue 

Package:

KLINGER gauge glasses are packed in individual cardboard boxes. In addition to the glass, each package contains a non-asbestos KLINGER sealing gasket and cushion gasket and forms a complete unit ready for installation. 

Note:

Only KLINGER original parts guarantee a trouble free operation of the gauge glasses for a long time. Therefore we recommend to use only original spare parts for gauge glasses, mica shields, sealing gaskets and cushion gaskets.

 Quality control:

KLINGER transparent glasses are subject to continuous control during manufacture in order to guarantee exact dimensions, stress conditions, material composition and resistance to bending strain.
