Reflex glasses is made from tempered borosilicate glass, it
can be used with all media at service conditions up to 4MPa
and temperature up to 430 °C.
The side facing the medium chamber is provided with molded
grooves set at 90°angles. The moulding process increases the
resistance of the glass grooves to wear; the skin which the
glass attains during moulding gives it maximum smoothness and
hardness.This makes it extremely resistant to the attack of
boiler water.
It is used on level gauge of boiler for water position. It is
also named: Reflex Gauge Glass, Sight glass, Reflex Glasses,
Reflex sight glass, Spares For level Gauge.
Transparent glasses are also manufactured from "extra-hard"
borosilicate glass. The surfaces on both sides are finely
smooth and ensure optimal transparency.
Now we have two kinds manufacturing technique:
1.One is as same with reflex Gauge Glasses, use molds to
make the semi-finished products, afterwards, ground and
polish the two side to ensure optimal transparency. By this
manufacturing technique, the definition isn't
good.
2.The other manufacturing technique is: At first, we
manufacture 17mm thickness glass sheet, then cut the glass
sheet according the detailed size and polish the side face
for the smooth. This manufacturing technique glass is very
clear, but the goods cost is higher.
It can be used with all media except steam at service
conditions up to 6MPa and temperatures up to 260 °C.
