Valftek Reflex Level Indicator Glass No: VIII

VALFTEK Reflex Level Indicator Glass No: VIII: Spare Part for Reliable Level Monitoring in Boilers and Tanks

Safe and accurate visual monitoring of liquid levels in tanks, vessels, and pressure vessels in industrial facilities is vital for process safety. VALFTEK reflex glass level indicators are critical equipment that fulfill this task. The reflex glass level indicator glass is the main component of the indicator and provides a clear reading of the liquid level. Specific codes, such as No. VIII (8) , specify the glass's dimensions and technical specifications.

What is the VALFTEK Reflex Level Indicator Glass and What Does It Do?

The glass used in reflex glass level gauges is a special borosilicate glass with prismatic channels on its front surface. The glass is mounted to the gauge body using gaskets and nuts. Its purpose is to ensure a safe view of the liquid level inside the tank from the outside.

Main Functions:

• Visual Level Monitoring: Working on the principle of light reflection, it makes liquid-filled areas appear dark and gas-filled areas appear light. This clear optical difference makes the level easy to read, even from a distance.

• High Pressure and Temperature Resistance: Due to the chemical and physical properties of borosilicate glass, it can withstand high pressure and temperature conditions.

• Corrosion Resistance: Some glasses may have undergone special treatments for additional resistance to chemical fluids.

Features of VALFTEK Reflex Glass No:VIII:

The code "No:VIII" refers to the standard dimensions of the glass and is determined according to standards such as DIN 7081, DIN 28121.

• Dimensions: Standard dimensions of No:VIII glass are:

  • Length: 250mm (about 25cm)

  • Width: 34 mm

  • Thickness: 17 mm

• Material: Borosilicate Glass resistant to thermal shock, high pressure and temperature

• Operating Range: Varies depending on the pressure and temperature resistance of the entire gauge. Generally, it can be used in saturated steam applications up to 236°C and hot oil applications up to 400°C.

• High Pressure Resistance: Can be produced in accordance with high pressure classes (up to PN250).

• Compatible Models: Used as a spare part for reflex glass level indicators such as VALFTEK BR-24B.

VALFTEK Reflex Glass No: VIII Usage Areas:

• Steam Boilers and Pressure Vessels: Continuous monitoring of boiler water level.

• Process Tanks: Storage tanks containing high-pressure and hot fluids.

• Fuel Tanks: Level control of petrol, diesel and other fuels.

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Monitoring of non-aggressive chemical liquids.

• Power Plants: Liquid level monitoring under high pressure and temperature conditions.
