SSP Sight Glass Fittings

DN 15 – DN 150 | NPS ½ˮ – 6ˮ

Type SSP lined sight glass fittings enable the safe monitoring of the flow of liquid and gaseous process media in piping systems. The robust construction and generously sized sight glass opening ensure reliable visual inspection and optimal process monitoring.

Main Features

Generous sight glass opening

The large viewing window provides a clear view of the process medium and makes it easier to assess the operating condition.

Borosilicate glass in accordance with DIN 7080

The standard sight glass panels made of borosilicate glass are designed for industrial use. For special requirements, quartz glass and metal-fused glass are also available.

Durable PFA Linings

PFA and conductive PFA-AS are available for use with corrosive process media and protect the parts of the valve that come into contact with the media.

Flexible Housing Materials

The SSP is available in cast steel 1.0619 (WCB) or cast stainless steel 1.4408 (CF8M), allowing it to be tailored to different requirements for housing material and operating environment.

Optional Flow Indicator

For additional monitoring of gas flow, the SSP can be equipped with an optical flow indicator featuring a PTFE ribbon.

Operating Conditions

depending on the choice of material
Pressure Range 1 mbar to 16 bar
0.01 psi to 232 psi
Temperature −40 °C to +200 °C
−40 °F to +400 °F

Type SSP sight glass assemblies are designed for pipe sizes ranging from DN 15 to DN 150 or NPS ½' to 6' and are suitable for a variety of industrial process systems. The modular design allows for adaptation to various plant requirements and is available in both DIN and ANSI versions.

Borosilicate glass sight glass plates conforming to DIN 7080 are used as standard. For special requirements, metal-fused glass or quartz glass are available as alternatives. An optional FEP glass protection film provides additional protection for the sight glass pane.

The housings are available in cast steel 1.0619 (WCB) with RAL 5005 signal blue or in cast stainless steel 1.4408 (CF8M). For corrosive process media, PFA and conductive PFA-AS linings are available.

Depending on the application, the SSP can also be equipped with a visual flow indicator for gases, a PTFE tape, or a grounding cable. The temperature range extends from −40 °C to +200 °C, depending on the lining material.
