Thread or flange Transparent Glass Plate Level Gauge

Transparent level gauges are always fitted with two plate transparent glasses between which the fluid is contained. The fluid level is indicated as the result of the different transparency of the two media and in some cases (for water steam), by conveying upwards on to the surface of separation (between liquid and gaseous substances) a source of light located at the back of the gauge, the rays of which are totally reflected down to the observer.
To avoid leakage in case of glass breakage, safety ball-check device can be provided in cross-fittings or shut-off valves. This kind of indicator is suitable for water/steam. To protect glass surfaces from corrosive action of the process fluid, Transparent Level Gauges can be fitted with Mica shields or Polytrifluorochloroethilene shields. This kind of indicator is suitable for liquids colorless and very fluid.

Features:

1. They do not need electrical power to operate. This can be a great advantage in the case of a power outage.
2. Simple to install – no calibration is necessary.
3. Can be used as a reference to check, or calibrate, other level technologies.
4. Pressure rating from vacuum to 4Mpa.
5. Temperature rating from -20℃ to 450℃
6. Not affected by the chemical or electrical properties of the process liquid.
7. Specific gravity, dielectric, conductivity, surface turbulence, vapor, foam, etc. no longer needs to be considered.

The classification and scope of use of Reflex glass level gauges are as follows:

1. Heat-tracing glass plate level gauge: mainly used for the occasions where the measured medium needs heat preservation;
2. Frost-proof glass plate level gauge: mainly used for occasions where the operating temperature of the medium under test is -196~0℃ and the glass is prone to frosting;
3.Glass plate level gauge without blind area: mainly used in situations where continuous observation is required and blind areas are not allowed in the visual range;
4. Two-color glass plate level gauge: mainly used for occasions where the medium is colorless and transparent liquid and liquid level is not easily observed;
5.Uv - proof glass plate level gauge:mainly used for the occasions where the measured medium is afraid of ultraviolet light;
6. Wide liquid chamber glass plate level gauge: mainly used for occasions where the viscosity of the measured medium is relatively large or the volume of the instrument is relatively large;
7. Illuminating glass plate level gauge: mainly used for night observation.

Advantages of U-IDEAL Reflex Glass Plate Level Gauge

1. Ultra-Clear, Long-Distance Readable Visual Effect

Adopts proprietary 90° prismatic grooved borosilicate reflex glass developed by U-IDEAL.
  • Gas/vapor area reflects light fully and appears bright silvery white; liquid area refracts light inward and turns dark black. The liquid-gas boundary is sharp and distinct without blurring.
  • No backlight required under normal ambient light; operators can read the liquid level clearly from dozens of meters away, suitable for patrol inspection in large boiler rooms and tank farms.
  • Stable display even under slight liquid turbulence, avoiding misjudgment caused by foaming clean media such as boiler feedwater and condensed water.

2. Single-Sided Glass Design, Low Procurement & Maintenance Cost

  • Only one piece of reflex glass is installed on the front side, different from transparent type with double glass panels. Lower initial purchase price and fewer spare glass parts to stock.
  • Simplified sealing structure with only one layer of gasket between glass and gauge body; fewer vulnerable sealing components, greatly cutting daily operating cost.
  • Quick glass replacement without dismounting double-sided pressing plates, shortening equipment downtime during maintenance.

3. Premium Borosilicate Glass, Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance

Original imported U-IDEAL reflex glass substrate features outstanding temperature resistance: working temperature range -20℃ ~ 236℃, well matched with medium-low pressure steam equipment.
  • Resists rapid temperature alternation during boiler startup, shutdown and flushing; not easy to crack from cold and hot impact compared with ordinary domestic reflex glass.
  • Uniform precision prism grooves, long-term use will not fail light reflection due to surface wear, maintaining consistent reading effect throughout service life.

4. Compact & Reliable Metal Body, Wide Pressure Matching Range

  • Gauge body optional with carbon steel / stainless steel, standard pressure grades PN16, PN40, ANSI 150lb, covering most industrial low & medium pressure storage tanks, heating boilers and heat exchange equipmentValftek.
  • Integrated integrated cock valve structure (shut-off valve + drain vent valve) as standard configuration; the gauge can be isolated and flushed independently without stopping the main equipment.
  • Optional built-in anti-break self-sealing steel ball: if glass ruptures accidentally, medium pressure will instantly block the channel to prevent high-temperature medium leakage and scald accidents.

5. Simple Structure, Low Failure Rate & Easy Operation

  • Single-side observation window reduces internal dead zones, less sediment and scale accumulation compared with double-sided transparent gauges, extending cleaning cycles.
  • The cock plug rotates smoothly with small operating torque; flushing and isolation operations are labor-saving for operators.
  • Standard DN25 flange connection, multiple center distance specifications (235mm–2590mm), compatible with most domestic boiler drum mounting dimensions, strong interchangeability.

6. Mature Brand Technology & Stable Global Application

U-IDEAL has over 120 years of professional level gauge manufacturing experience; BONT series reflex level gauges are widely used in petrochemical, heating, food and water treatment industries worldwide.
  • Strict factory calibration for each glass plate, uniform optical performance, no batch difference of reading contrast.
  • Complete standardized spare parts supply globally, convenient for after-sales replacement and maintenance.

Short Summary for Product Brochure

U-IDEAL reflex glass level gauge adopts single-sided prismatic borosilicate glass, delivering sharp black-white liquid-gas dividing lines without auxiliary lighting. It features low purchase & maintenance cost, excellent thermal shock resistance, compact safe structure and wide pressure-temperature applicability, the preferred direct reading level instrument for clean colorless media in medium-low pressure boilers and storage tanks.
