Bellow are described the various categories (form V-1 to V-10A) in accordance with the specifications of ASTM, also used in our company. A lower number of category means, generally speaking, the better the quality of the mica plate.   Cate-gory Name Description V-1 Clear  Hard, of uniform color, nearly flat, free of all stains, foreign inclusion, cracks, and other similar defects. V-2 Clear and Slightly Stained Hard, of uniform color, nearly flat and may contain slight crystallographic discoloration, and very slight air inclusions and not more than one fourth of the usable area. V-3 Fair Stained Hard, of uniform color, may contain slight waves, slight crystallographic discoloration, and slight air inclusions and not more than one-half of the usable area.

The shields retain basic strength and increase the service life of sight glasses when used at increased steam pressures and high working temperatures.  Mica shields also provide perfect visibility for monitoring the nature or degree of combustion in blast furnaces of steam boilers. Sight glasses in steam boilers are exposed to harsh operating conditions (thermal, mechanical and chemical). On the surface of the glass crystallized deposits of mineral substances interact aggressively on the surface of the glass, especially at higher temperatures and pressures, and depending on the pH of the liquid. This interaction not only leads to tarnishing glass, but also the erosion, manifested by decreasing the thickness of the sight glass, which reduces its strength and may lead to dangerous failure. Glass losses for unprotected sight and gauge glasses, depends mainly on the pH and the temperature of the boiler water, could reach millimeters per month (see. fig. below).   Mica shields should be MANDATORY applied where the steam pressure exceeds 40 bar and the temperature exceeds 200 ° C.  Natural mica has high heat resistance, is transparent; optically clear, flexible, flat and unbreakable. Transparency of mica is unaffected by temperature changes as well as the action of gases and vapors in an environment where it works. In addition, mica is resistant to shock, vibration or deformation and therefore is used as a protection of glass exposed to radiation, mechanical damage and the action of corrosive chemicals.     Typically, mica shields are supplied as complete with gauge glass and seal (here's an example set), but can also be supplied separately. We can also supply plates for non-standard sizes and shapes (see also pages describing Mica windowsand Mica disks in the chapter Our offer/Mica/Natural mica/Mica sheets).         Mica shields provide excellent protection against acids, steam, water, air and oil at high pressure and temperature, and eliminates the risk of cracks, fractures, shock, burning, rinse the glass. Mica shields are made from the highest quality natural transparent muscovite mica (species Rubby Stained A) and supplied in various lengths, thicknesses and widths according to customer needs. Mica as a natural mineral, has a layered structure, but you must not separate these layers ! Thanks to the phenomenon of adhesion, naturally created mica layers guarantee its tightness. Any attempt to interfere (delamination) may cause loss of tightness and a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the mica shields. Before delivery, all mica shields are electronically tested for quality and reliability. They are supplied in individual packages to eliminate scratches and protect them from damage. Operating and maintenance instructions are enclosed with each package.

Glass in the production process is subjected to a polishing and toughening. This results in products characterized by high mechanical strength and high resistance to alkalis, acids and condensates. In the production process is conducted constant and precise control of transparency and the dimensions of manufactured glass. Reflex gauge glasses  are used to read the liquid level directly or with the use of CCTV (industrial television). In this type of glass on the chamber side (medium side) are imprinted longitudinal grooves (3 or 4), which walls are angled to each other at an angle of 90˚. Squeezing process causes the formation of grooves. On the surface of the grooves creates extremely smooth and hard glass layer, very resistant to the environment. With the grooving increases the angle of refraction which makes the visibility of the liquid level is much better than when using smooth glass. For reflective glass does not apply mica shields. Reflex glasses may be used in pressure up to 35 bar. In this area are sufficiently resistant to the environment. The reading is clear and contrast. In the case of factors other than steam reflex glasses may be used up to 400 bar or 400˚C. Depending on the width and thickness there are three basic types of transparent level gauge glasses: type A - width 30 mm, thickness 17 mm type B - width 34 mm, thickness 17 mm type H - width 34 mm, thickness 22 mm In addition, the occasionally encountered also: Type C - width of 20 mm, thickness 12 mm Type D - width 25 mm, thickness 15 mm Reflex level gauge glasses are supplied in sets with gaskets or separately.

It is a rectangular vertical sight glass that can be either welded into the container wall or attached by welding. The fitting is equipped with a sight glass plate made of high-quality borosilicate glass according to DIN 7081 (or comparable). This is securely framed between gaskets and tightly screwed to ensure permanent sealing and high pressure resistance. Standardly, the sight glass type 330 is made of stainless steel 1.4571 (316Ti) – a material characterized by high corrosion resistance and durability. Upon request, the design is also available in many other materials, suitable for specific requirements and applications. The sealing of the fitting is done with flat gaskets tailored to your needs from an extensive range of materials. In addition to the common fiber material gaskets, more sophisticated materials such as PTFE (Teflon®), NBR, novaphit® MST-XP, KlingerSil® C4400, and many other branded gaskets are also available. If the maximum operating temperature of borosilicate glass according to DIN 7081 does not meet your requirements, or if the process conditions pose a problem even for the highly resistant borosilicate glass, a mica protection disc specially adapted for the fitting provides additional protection against temperature and steam. FEP or Halar® coatings also additionally protect the borosilicate glass from aggressive chemicals or alkaline solutions. For applications in poorly lit containers, the use of a reflex sight glass according to DIN 7081 (or comparable) is recommended. These glasses are embedded with special prism structures that break and reflect the incoming light – thus, the filling level can be recognized much better. If, however, the container is well-lit, the medium is very clear, or if the color of the medium should remain visible, a transparent sight glass is the better choice. It allows for an unaltered view and precise optical control of the contents. Important note: Reflex sight glasses cannot be combined with mica discs and coatings, as the protective mica layer prevents the light refraction necessary for reflection. Transparent glasses, on the other hand, can easily be equipped with mica discs, FEP, or Halar® coatings, which is particularly recommended for protection of the glass in the case of aggressive media or high temperatures.
