Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
The standard stainless double window sight flow indicator: two opposed toughened glass windows in a cast stainless body, giving a large view area and through-illumination viewing of the flow.
Up to 150NB the body is an investment casting, which gives a clean internal form and good surface finish with no weld seams in the flow path. From 200NB upward the body is fabricated. Both carry the same PTFE gaskets and CF8/CF8M/CF3M/CG3M material options.
Face-to-face is compact through the smaller sizes — 127 mm at 25NB to 267 mm at 150NB — then steps up to 520 mm at 200NB where the fabricated construction begins.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Investment cast body up to 150NB; fabricated design from 200NB
- Two toughened borosilicate 3.3 or soda lime windows for a large view area

Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Investment cast body has no weld seams in the flow path up to 150NB
- Compact face-to-face in the smaller sizes — easy retrofit
- Two opposed windows let you look through the fluid against a light — far clearer than a single reflecting port
- Robust flanged body drops straight into an existing line
- Glass and gaskets replaceable in situ without cutting the pipework
- Mountable in any orientation

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
Up to 150NB the body is an investment casting, which gives a clean internal form with no weld seams. Above that the casting becomes impractical, so bodies are fabricated.
That is the change from cast to fabricated construction at 200NB. Take the figure from the table rather than interpolating.
Yes — rotary wheel and flapper type designs are available, which show flow velocity as well as presence.
