✔ Suitable for harsh industrial environments
Instruments de mesure de niveau Description
Glass Level Gauge-Product Features
The glass level gauge provides a true, real-time visual indication of the actual liquid level inside tanks and vessels. Unlike electronic sensors, it displays the liquid position directly through the sight glass, allowing operators to immediately identify level changes, foaming, or abnormal conditions.
Designed with a built-in quick shut-off mechanism, the gauge automatically isolates the process in the event of glass breakage or leakage. This safety feature effectively prevents vapor or liquid escape, enhancing operator safety and minimizing process risks.
The sight glass level gauge features a compact and well-engineered structure, ensuring easy installation on existing tanks or pipelines. Standard process connections allow for fast commissioning, while the modular design simplifies routine inspection and part replacement.
With no power supply or signal components required, the glass level gauge offers long-term stable operation with minimal maintenance. The durable glass and metal components reduce downtime and spare part costs, making it an economical solution for continuous level monitoring.


Sight Glass Level Gauge-Applications / Industries
The glass plate liquid level gauge is widely used in various industrial systems where reliable and direct liquid level monitoring is required. Typical applications include:
Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
Ideal for corrosive or hazardous liquids. Provides real-time visual monitoring of reaction tanks, storage vessels, and process systems.
Boilers & Steam Systems
Ensures accurate water level observation in boiler drums and steam vessels. High-temperature and pressure-resistant design with integrated safety protection.
Water Treatment Systems
Enables continuous monitoring of water levels in filtration, storage, and circulation systems. Simple structure allows easy installation and maintenance.
Food & Pharmaceutical Processing
Supports observation of liquid levels in clean and sanitary environments. Compatible with hygienic media and easy to sanitize.
Oil & Gas Storage and Transportation
Provides safe and reliable monitoring for oil tanks, fuel storage, and pipelines. Robust design ensures stable operation under varying pressures and temperatures.
Glass Sight Glass Level Gauge-Working Principle
In general industrial systems such as water treatment units, oil tanks, and auxiliary process vessels, the glass plate liquid level gauge provides a simple and reliable method for liquid level observation. Once installed on the tank, the gauge chamber and vessel form a communicating structure, ensuring consistent liquid level indication.
The liquid level can be directly observed through the glass plate without external power supply or signal processing. The mechanical design allows stable operation under continuous service conditions, making it suitable for routine level monitoring across a wide range of industrial processes.
Installed on chemical tanks or reactors, the glass plate liquid level gauge forms a communicating vessel with the process system, enabling direct visual level observation. In case of glass rupture, the built-in safety steel ball automatically seals the flow path to reduce hazardous media leakage.
Connected to the steam and water spaces of the boiler drum, the gauge directly displays the actual boiler water level in real time. If the glass plate breaks, the automatic shut-off mechanism immediately isolates steam and water flow to ensure safe operation.

A glass level gauge, also called a sight glass level indicator, allows direct visual monitoring of liquid levels in tanks and vessels. It works on the communicating vessel principle, where liquid in the gauge matches the level in the connected container, providing accurate, real-time observation without electrical signals.
Industrial glass level gauges are available in transparent, reflex, and mirror-type configurations. Transparent gauges suit clear liquids, reflex types enhance visibility for steam or high-temperature media, and mirror-type gauges improve readability under low light or medium-pressure conditions.
Sight glass level indicators are widely used in chemical, petrochemical, boiler, water treatment, food, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries. They are ideal for medium- and low-pressure vessels requiring reliable visual monitoring of corrosive, high-temperature, or hazardous liquids.
The gauge is mounted via standard flanges or threaded connections. After pressure testing, valves should be opened gradually. Inspect periodically for leaks, and if the glass becomes contaminated, drain the medium safely before cleaning. Proper maintenance ensures stable performance and long service life.
Modern glass plate liquid level gauges include a safety steel ball. If the glass breaks or vapor/liquid side pressure exceeds 0.3 MPa, the steel ball automatically seals the flow path, preventing medium leakage. This feature ensures safe operation in chemical, boiler, and industrial environments.
Glass level gauges offer direct, accurate, and real-time liquid level observation without electricity. They are durable, corrosion-resistant, and low-maintenance, with built-in safety features. Suitable for chemical plants, boilers, water treatment, and general industrial vessels, they provide reliable, long-term performance.
