::Bi-Colour Water Level Gauge with
Illuminator::
|
|
This model is
suitable for most water tube boilers, which run on High Pressure
and Temperature applications. Most commonly used for easy viewing
with light assistance as most big capacity water tube boilers are
quite big and high therefore making it difficult to view on normal
situations. Illuminators are fitted with colour screens to give
accurate indications of boiler water levels, which is an important
element to monitor at all times.

::Water Level Gauge ( Glass tube & Gauge Glass Type) ::
|
 |
 |
|
Conventional and
most common type of water level monitoring equipment used on any
package boilers are the Bronze Glass tube type water level gauge.
Effective to give accurate water level reading on the boiler the
glass tube is protected by a toughened glass protector for an all
angle viewing. This protector eliminates any harm or injury which
can be caused in case of glass tube breakage. Most Gauge Cocks for
this version on water level gauge comes equipped with a safety ball
to prevent loss of water from the boiler when a glass tube breaks.
Suitable for most low pressure and temperature package boilers.
Having the glass
tube breaking all the time effects production and creates loss time
for the any production unit. Thus, most boiler manufacturers opt to
use a Gauge glass instead of a glass tube for most boiler water
level monitoring system. Like the glass tube, this version also
gives accurate and clear indication of the water level in any
boiler. Gauge glasses in two versions. Reflex and transparent for
high pressure application. Most gauge glasses are used with
specially designed compound gaskets to protect the glass for
prolonged usage. Transparent gauge glasses are also used with Mica
Shields to protect during high-pressure usage. Most gaskets are
asbestos based and now gaskets made of non-asbestos and pure
graphite are also available. This version also has very minimal
glass breakage, as the gauge glass is design to be shock resistant. |

::Glass Tubes, Gauge Glass, Sight Glass, Rubber Cones, Packing
Sleeves and Gaskets::
|
|
Glasses are made
of Borosilicate for high temperature and pressure applications.
Temp. Range up to 400 deg C ( borosilicate) other materials such as
soda lime, quartz and more for various high and low temperature and
pressure applications Rubber cones used to protect glass tube and
prevents leakages.
Packing sleeves within the gauge cocks are made of pure graphite for
high temperature and pressure applications to give a good seal and
to ensure no leakages occur within the gauge cocks.
Gaskets are used
to protect the gauge glasses and to prevent leaks from the gauge
glass body. Gaskets made of asbestos and non asbestos and also
available in pure graphite. In high pressure applications mica
shields are used with transparent gauge glasses for better
protection.
Sight glasses
used in many applications for medium viewing purposes. Shapes such
as circular and rectangular are most commonly found. Sizes and
thickness vary depending on application and medium in contact with
glass.

::Boiler Manhole & Handhole Gaskets and Door Ropes &
Insulation Tapes::
|
|
Manhole and handhole gaskets made of various materials available
with or with out graphite coating for easy removal and high
temperature resistance. Most commonly material used is asbestos
and now fast making its way into the market is the fibreglass
material. In the earlier days asbestos proved to be cheaper, but
with health risks many are opting for the use of fibreglass
instead. Most gaskets are wire-reinforced and carefully hand made
according to required sizes to ensure proper fitting onto the
boiler manhole or hanhole cover.
Boiler door ropes are also very quickly being
changed to fibreglass based and are available in two shapes.
Depending on requirement round or square ropes are available in
various sizes. Two types of ropes are also available Braided ( hard
type) and Lagging ( soft type. The braided rope is mostly used for
boiler, pressure vessel or oven doors. Unlike the rope lagging which
is most commonly used for piping insulation.
Webbing tapes are
the most common insulation material used besides casted sleevings,
which are more difficult to handle and use. Made of fibreglass they
are cheaper and more effective that the asbestos based tapes which
are being phased out due to health hazards. Ability to withstand
high temperature the webbing tapes are available in various sized
and lengths to suit application needs. |
