Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
Functionally identical to the lined stainless tubular model, this version uses mild steel flanges and G.I. tie rods and fasteners. Because the flange is lined, the wetted path is the same fluoropolymer and borosilicate combination — the saving is on the external metal, not on the chemistry.
The catalogue rates it for operations up to 200 °C, and every sight glass is spark tested at 15 kVA to prove liner integrity. Dimensions match the stainless version exactly across 15NB to 400NB.
Features
Built into every unit.
- FEP/PFA lined mild steel flanges — fluoropolymer wetted path at lower cost
- Suitable for operations up to 200 °C
- All sight glasses spark tested at 15 kVA
- Borosilicate 3.3 glass tube with PTFE gaskets
- 15NB to 400NB, dimensions matching the stainless version
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Same wetted materials as the stainless version at lower cost
- Proven liner integrity — spark tested at 15 kVA
- 360° visibility over the whole length — sees what a two-window unit misses
- Glass tube and gaskets replaceable on site without cutting the pipework
- Short face to face across the size range makes retrofit straightforward

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
Yes — borosilicate 3.3 glass, FEP or PFA lining and PTFE gaskets in both. The difference is the external flange metal and the tie rod material.
The catalogue lists acid transfer, agriculture, bleach chemicals, caustic and alkali, pharmaceuticals, waste processing and water treatment.
