EPDM offers the best cost-performance ratio, making it suitable for WFI systems and most applications. Therefore, it is the more suitable choice unless you have specific requirements.
Teflon (PTFE) provides superior resistance to highly corrosive chemicals like acids and alkalis. Among silicones, VMQ types offer high safety and can withstand higher temperatures. Fluoroelastomer (FKM) effectively addresses oil-related challenges that EPDM and silicone struggle to handle.
If you intend to use 2 sanitary sight glasses in areas subject to frequent contact or high worker traffic, tempered glass offers superior physical strength and produces small, less hazardous fragments upon breakage, making it the better choice.
High borosilicate glass provides greater transparency and withstands higher temperatures and a wider range of chemical corrosion, making it more suitable for facilities handling high temperatures and the transportation and storage of special chemicals.
It also exhibits reduced susceptibility to spontaneous breakage, making it preferable for stable environments requiring sterility.
In confined spaces where installation is difficult, high-pressure equipment, or in DN50 stainless steel piping, or for easier maintenance, 2-inch sight glasses outperform 4-inch or larger alternatives. The 2-inch size offers greater compactness and flexibility, while its smaller surface area makes it less prone to rupture under high pressure.
NPT and other threaded connection methods are often less expensive and simpler to install. But the threaded sections can easily become harboring places for dirt during use, are difficult to clean, and are prone to damage and leakage. Because of these, threaded sight glasses are rarely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
In contrast, sanitary sight glasses with clamp connections are easier to clean and more durable. They maintain hygiene even after long-term use, making them the preferred choice for sanitary sight glass connections.
Since industrial sight glasses are predominantly used in the petroleum industry, they focus on sealing integrity and durability over safety. Consequently, materials like carbon steel or rubber are used, with no specific requirements for surface roughness.
And to better withstand pressure, they utilize flange or bolted connections and emphasize compliance with testing standards such as ATEX and PED.
Sanitary sight glasses prioritize safety, making FDA or 3A certification compliance paramount. Materials like stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and silicone are more common in sanitary applications. Structurally, sanitary sight glasses must facilitate easy cleaning and eliminate sanitary dead zones.
What Is 2 Sanitary Sight Glass?
The 2 sanitary sight glass is a component installed on pipes or tanks to help producers observe internal flow conditions. Through the sanitary sight glass, you can more intuitively see internal fermentation processes and bubble formation without needing to open the equipment, thereby preventing contaminant ingress or production disruption.
It primarily consists of three parts: the glass viewing window, metal components, and sealing rings.
How to Choose 2 Sanitary Sight Glasses?
Type of Contents
The type of contents significantly influences the selection of hygienic sight glasses, dictating material corrosion resistance and the required glass area for effective observation.
For highly fluid contents like water or beer, inline or common tri-clamp sanitary sight glasses are preferable due to their relative ease of cleaning. For viscous foods such as sauces, larger windows provide better visibility into the contents and prevent partial obstruction.
Acidic or corrosive liquids may accelerate corrosion of materials like 304 stainless steel. Therefore, selecting materials with superior chemical compatibility—such as 316L stainless steel, PTFE, or high borosilicate glass—is a wiser choice.
Temperature
If your equipment requires SIP sterilization, the materials of the glass and sealing gaskets need to be careful consideration. Food-grade and medical-grade silicone gaskets can withstand temperatures up to 200°C while maintaining flexibility at high temperatures. Borosilicate glass also performs better than tempered glass under thermal cycling.
You can choose 2 high-temperature-resistant sanitary sight glasses made from these two materials to ensure your equipment remains durable and safe even under high temperatures.
Pressure
For general equipment transporting food, a triple-clamp sanitary sight glass is enough. For equipment working at higher pressures, a flanged high-pressure sanitary sight glass offers greater reliability. Its reinforced structure and thicker glass effectively prevent damage caused by pressure during operation.
Requirements
Here you’ll also find a wide selection of 2-inch sanitary sight glasses for more demanding applications. Dual-window, tubular, and full-view 2 sanitary sight glasses are each engineered for distinct observation requirements.
If you need clearer visibility of contents in low-light conditions, the LED Illuminated Sight Glass eliminates the need to purchase and carry separate lighting equipment.
A Sight Glass with Protective Shield solves the problem of equipment frequently subjected to external forces that could injure your employees. The specially designed protective shield effectively prevents flying debris from causing safety problems.
Interface Configuration
Triple clamp connections are currently the most common method for sanitary sight glasses. They eliminate sanitary dead zones and offer significantly simpler installation and removal. Additionally, they comply with ISO 2852 standards, making replacement products readily available without compatibility concerns.
Flange-connected sanitary sight glasses require slightly more effort to install but offer significantly greater pressure resistance than tri-clamp connections. If you require an absolutely sterile, permanent sanitary sight glass, welding is the superior choice.
Safety Standards
If you wish to purchase two sanitary sight glasses for food processing in bulk, compliance with FDA standards will be necessary. Sanitary sight glasses used in pharmaceutical equipment must meet standards such as GMP or USP Class VI to ensure safety. For dairy products, compliance with 3-A and EHEDG Sanitary Standards is required.
