Sight glasses installation in SKID systems

Sight glasses are indispensable components for process monitoring in modular SKID systems. They enable the direct visual inspection of flow, fill level and media quality in pipes and containers – a decisive factor for operational safety and quality assurance.

Our solutions for SKID systems:

  • Compact design: Ideal for modular systems with limited space.
  • Flexible connection types: flanged, threaded or welded connections to DIN EN 1092, ISO 228-1 or ASME.
  • Variety of materials: stainless steel for hygienic applications, cast steel for standard processes, special materials for aggressive media.
  • Optional equipment: heating jacket for viscous media, mica disks for high temperature ranges, sight glasses for dark environments.
  • Standard-compliant production: PED-compliant, ATEX-compliant, tested in accordance with DIN 7080 (borosilicate glass).
