Product Description
Sight Flow Glass Indicators
Special Steel Components Corporation (SSCC) is among the prestigious manufacturers and suppliers of sight flow indicators which serve their purpose in piping for delivering 360 degrees observation of the material, flowing through a line. These indicators are installed into a pipe to provide a visual of verifying liquid flow for direction and accurate flow rate. They allow operators to observe the color and clarity of liquids through a window. It has one or more viewing windows, usually with gaskets, and a way to mount the indicator to the pipeline, such as flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp connections.
Our offered sight flow glass indicators reflect the advantages of ease of sealing, maintenance, and availability in higher pressure/temperature combinations in larger sizes than any other manufacturer offers in the industry.

Durable Construction and Versatile ApplicationCrafted from materials such as Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, or Brass, these sight flow glass indicators provide durability for demanding processing environments. The toughened or borosilicate glass ensures optimal visual clarity and resilience, making them suitable for monitoring water, oil, acids, chemicals, and various industrial fluids. They are widely used in process industries across India and internationally.
Flexible Installation and Connection OptionsEngineered for hassle-free installation, these indicators are suitable for both horizontal and vertical pipeline orientations. They feature end connections per ANSI, DIN, IS standardsavailable in flanged, screwed, or socket weld configurationsto suit diverse system requirements. The indicators also offer options for flow direction (bidirectional/unidirectional) and indicator types such as double window, rotating wheel, or flap type.
Reliable Performance and Easy MaintenanceWith a standard temperature threshold of 150C and pressure resistance up to 10 Kg/cm (higher on request), these devices ensure safe operation in industrial pipelines. Maintenance is simplified with replaceable glass and gaskets, and seals in PTFE, Neoprene, or Viton protect against leaks. Each unit is tested at 1.5 times its working pressure, delivering dependable observation and long service life.
FAQs of Sight Flow Glass Indicators:
Q: How are Sight Flow Glass Indicators installed in pipelines?
A: Sight Flow Glass Indicators are designed for flexible installation and can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical positions. The end connectionsflanged, screwed, or socket weldare available according to ANSI, DIN, or IS standards, ensuring compatibility with most piping systems. Proper installation ensures reliable fluid observation and operation.
Q: What types of fluids can be monitored with these indicators?
A: These indicators are suitable for a wide range of fluids commonly found in process industries, including water, oil, acids, and various chemicals. The borosilicate or toughened glass window provides clear visibility and robust resistance to aggressive media typically present in such environments.
Q: When should the glass or gaskets be replaced in a sight flow indicator?
A: Glass and gaskets should be inspected periodically and replaced if signs of wear, damage, or clouding are observed. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure clear visibility and safe operation, especially in harsh process conditions. The design of these indicators allows for straightforward replacement, minimizing downtime.
Q: Where are these indicators commonly used?
A: Sight Flow Glass Indicators are widely used in piping systems wherever visual confirmation of liquid flow is required. Common settings include water treatment plants, chemical processing industries, oil refineries, and other process lines across India and globally due to their reliability and versatility.
Q: What makes these indicators beneficial compared to other flow monitoring devices?
A: These indicators offer direct visual inspection with high reliability, robust construction, and compatibility with a variety of connection types and seals. Their clear sight window, ease of maintenance, and suitability for diverse process fluids make them a cost-effective and durable alternative for process monitoring.
Q: How does the indicator type (double window, rotating wheel, or flap) affect usage?
A: The choice of indicator type depends on the application: a double window provides a broad view, a rotating wheel visually confirms flow and rate, while a flap type is ideal for identifying flow direction. Each type enhances observation in specific scenarios, improving process control and safety.
