Dual windows are comprised of two glass discs held in position by a metallic housing, internal shims and gaskets (pictured above).

The double, tempered glass window design provides added protection in applications where there is:

External mechanical impact - if the outer glass is cracked or shattered, the inner glass can temporarily continue in service until the unit can be repaired or replaced.

Abnormal compressive forces - in maintenance or replacement situations, the housing assists in alignment of the glass and can absorb uneven or excessive compression.

Thermal shock - in high temperature applications the inner and outer glass protect one another from an extreme thermal gradient. The air pocket between the glass provides an insulative effect.

Corrosion/erosion - if the inner glass is weakened and it breaks, the outer glass can temporarily contain the fluid, withstand the pressure, and continue in service until the unit can be repaired or replaced.

Full-View Sight Flow Indicators provide maximum, 360° viewing of fluid dynamics.
Available in NPT threaded-end and flanged designs, these Sight Flow Indicators are designed to enhance the visibility of process media as it passes through the glass cylinder. Full 360° viewing area expands the number of positions and locations in which the unit can be mounted for full visibility.

SNVD	NPT FV SFI (Drip Tube)
SNL	Plain Large Cylinder FV SFI
SNV-F	Plain Flanged FV Sight Flow Indicator

The Full-View Sight Flow Indicators are recommended for low-pressure applications where maximum visibility is needed. In addition to standard length models, Penberthy offers customized lengths up to 48", in 1/8" increments.

Full-View Sight Flow Indicators are unique because the "character" of the liquid can be viewed. In other words, a typical sight flow allows observation of liquids through a glass pane. The Full-View sight flow allows observation of liquids in transit through a more dynamic, 3-dimensional pipeline. Designing the Full-View to match the pipe diameter streamlines the liquid flow through the sight flow and helps avoid solids settling.

Units are best suited for vertical applications. Horizontal mounting is acceptable if there is no mechanical strain imposed on the glass cylinder. Flange mounting studs are provided with SNV-F and SNVD-F flanged models for convenient flange-to-flange connections. Providing customized studs reduces the possibility of damaging the glass or flange by selecting an inappropriate bolt size or torquing the Full-View Sight Flow Indicator beyond its proper limit. To enhance quality and performance, the Full-View Sight Flow Indicator uses ductile iron rather than gray iron as the standard material of construction.
