Product Description
Reflex Glasses
KLINGER reflex glasses are provided with moulded prismatic grooves on the side in contact with the medium. As a result of the difference in refractive index, light rays entering the gauge from outside are reflected or absorbed.
The light ray entering the steam or gas space strikes the groove face at an angle of 45o, being thereby refracted into the opposite groove face from which it is reflected back in direction of observation. The steam or gas space thereby appears silver-white. The liquid space behind the reflex glass appears black.
This eliminates any possibility of errors in reading the liquid level.
KLINGER reflex glasses are recommended for use within the limits shown in the pressure and temperature table.
Klinger Glass Type | Type A | Type B | Type H |
Application Reflex Glasses | bar | °C | bar | °C | bar | °C |
For media which do not significantly affect the glass e.g. oils and hydrocarbons | 220 | 120 | 265 | 120 | 300 | 120 |
150 | 400 | 180 | 400 | 200 | 400 |
0-10 | 430 | 0-10 | 430 | 0-10 | 430 |
For media which seriously attack the glass e.g. saturated steam, HPWH, alkalis | 35 | 243 | 35 | 243 | 42 | 253 |
For steam pressures above 35 bar we recommend the use of mica-protected transparent glasses.
| Application range of KLINGER Glasses |
| The values for gauge pressure and temperature shown in the table are maxima. At working temperatures above 300oC the glass beings to suffer stress relief (a release note for material data is only issued for temperatures to 300oC) In this temperature range care should be taken to prevent shock-effects on the glass during service.
KLINGER reflex glasses are suitable for all technically practicable below-zero temperatures.
A dismantled glass should not be re-used.
KLINGER glasses are suitable for use in liquid level gauges of nearly all makes. |
