Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
The mild steel double window sight flow indicator is the volume standard of the range: a robust MS or WCB body, two toughened borosilicate 3.3 or soda lime windows and PTFE gaskets, at a fraction of the cost of the stainless equivalent.
It shares its dimensions exactly with the stainless version — 127 mm face to face at 25NB up to 850 mm at 400NB — so the two are interchangeable. It can be mounted in any orientation, and rotary wheel and flapper elements can be fitted to show flow velocity as well as presence.
Radiography of the body is available on request where the specification calls for it.
