You can find gauge glass on many different kinds of equipment and in all kinds of applications due to their ability to add a level of safety as well as improving the ease of operation in some applications. Occasionally, certain gauges glasses will function better in a certain application, in order to figure out if gauge glass will fit in your application seek out a knowledgeable gauge glass manufacturer who can provide you with suggestions based on your unique application.

Gauge glass is often used to monitor pressure within boiler systems, particularly in applications such as steam boilers. Within a steam boiler there is both a fluid and a vapor and the varying levels indicate just how pressurized that environment is. Using gauge glass allows an operator or technician to monitor this pressurization, make adjustments when needed, and maintain the proper pressurization.

On top of their practicality, gauge glass also provides a level of safety as well. In addition to supplying an operator with the ability to better monitor the activity of a system, the glass in gauge glass is reinforced and commonly tempered to enhance its durability and to cut down on the risk of explosion. Gauge glass is used as viewing glass in a wide range of applications.

For example, they can be used for viewing the inside of a heater to ensure it is function properly or in kilns to monitor the progress of the baking process. This type of glass is used in such a vast range of applications because it is a simple and effective way to monitor a system safely and without disturbing the processes taking place inside.

With such a broad range of glass types and sizes, you can find gauge glass to satisfy virtually any industrial application. If you are unsure of where to start, contact a gauge glass manufacturer, and they would be happy to assist you in finding the right style of gauge glass for your requirements and specifications.
