<p>The invention provides a flat glass sight gauge which may have a length ranging up to 4 metres or more and in which a plurality of sight glasses (10) are aligned end to end to give the required length, the glasses being bolted to a frontal face of a structurally stiff metal backing plate (13), the fluid connections required between the aligned glasses (10) being formed at the rear of the backing plate (13), by rigid metal connector blocks (16) which serve also to give structural reinforcement to the backing plate (13) at the ends of the sight glasses (10). This proposal allows for efficient sealing of all the liquid passages of the gauge and for structural integrity of the gauge assembly, enabling it to withstand rough handling, vibration and severe changes of pressure and temperature. </p> |
