Boiler Sight Glass Kenya

Pamon Ventures supplies boiler sight glass in Kenya for steam boilers, water level gauges, pressure vessels and industrial liquid-level applications.

Boiler sight glass, also called boiler gauge glass or water gauge glass, allows operators to visually monitor the water level inside a boiler. Tubular gauge glass is available in different diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths and pressure ratings to match the gauge assembly.

Boiler Sight Glass Sizes Available

Common metric tubular sizes include:

12 mm OD – approximately 1/2″
16 mm OD – approximately 5/8″
19 mm OD – approximately 3/4″

These metric sizes are widely used as replacements for traditional inch-size gauge glass.

Types of Boiler Sight Glass Available

1. Clear Gauge Glass

Transparent glass for direct viewing of boiler water level.

2. Red Line Gauge Glass

Red-line glass improves visibility of the liquid level, particularly where the contrast between water and the surrounding area is low.

3. Heavy-Wall Gauge Glass

Heavy-wall glass is available for applications requiring a higher-pressure gauge glass specification. Pressure capability depends on diameter, wall thickness, length, temperature and glass type.

4. High-Pressure Gauge Glass

High-pressure clear and red-line options are available for suitable boiler and pressure-vessel applications.

Boiler Gauge Glass Accessories

Pamon Ventures can also supply related boiler gauge glass components, subject to specification:

Gauge glass gaskets
Rubber/EPDM cones
Brass washers
Mica shields
Gauge glass protectors
Gauge cocks
Water-level gauge components

EPDM gauge cones, for example, are available for 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ glass sizes.

Boiler Sight Glass Applications

Boiler sight glass is used for:

Steam boilers
Hot-water boilers
Industrial boilers
Water level gauges
Boiler water columns
Pressure vessels
Storage tanks
Liquid-level monitoring
Industrial process equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of boiler sight glass are available?

Common sizes include 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ OD, with multiple lengths available. Other sizes can be supplied according to the required gauge specification.

What is the most common boiler gauge glass size?

5/8″ OD is a common boiler gauge glass size, although 3/4″ and 1/2″ options are also used.

What is red-line gauge glass?

Red-line gauge glass has a coloured line that improves visibility of the liquid level, making it easier for operators to read the water level.

Can you supply different lengths?

Yes. Boiler gauge glass is supplied in multiple lengths. The correct length should match the gauge assembly and required visible water-level range.

Can you supply heavy-wall sight glass?

Yes. Heavy-wall gauge glass is available for applications requiring a higher-pressure specification, subject to the required diameter, length and rating.
