Food grade cross type sight glass for easy process control
The Sanitar cross type sight glass is engineered for high-performance visibility in sanitary piping systems, featuring 304/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance and durability. Its quick-release clamp design enables fast disassembly without tools, ideal for frequent cleaning in pharmaceutical and food processing applications. Precision-machined borosilicate glass provides distortion-free flow monitoring, while the standardized dimensions comply with AS, BS, 3A, SMS, and DIN specifications with FDA, 3A, and CE certifications. The four-way cross configuration allows simultaneous observation of multiple pipeline directions, critical for CIP/SIP validation in biotech and dairy industries.
For optimal system safety, we recommend clamp gaskets, single-pin heavy duty clamp, and pipe holder to ensure leak-free tri-clamp connections and stable pipeline support.
