PVC-U and PMMA sight tubes


Viewing tubes made of highly chemically resistant PVC-U (rigid PVC)
 are transparent round pressure pipeswhich are used in most cases for control of liquids and gases in apparatus and chemical plant engineering. 


Viewing tubes made of particularly brilliant acrylic glass (PMMA)
 Depending on the dimensions, we supply extruded and/or cast versions in crystal clear, opal, satin or colored.

They are mainly used in the area of decorations or in sales aids (displays) and in lighting technology.


Where especially High impact resistancein conjunction withTransparency and high heat deflection temperatureis required, we can provide on request Supply PC pipes from AØ 8 – 250 mm.


For applications with extremely high impact resistance in combination with reduced stress cracking, it is also possible to manufacture the PC tubes in a tempered version for specific projects.


Properties of sight tubes:

  • Transparency:
    The main feature of sight tubes is their transparency, which makes it possible to visually monitor the contents or condition of the sealed system.

  • Variety of materials:
    Viewing tubes can be made of various materials, including borosilicate glass, acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate or other transparent plastics.

  • Consistency:
    Depending on the material, sight pipes can have different properties, including resistance to temperature fluctuations, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.

  • A variety of shapes:
    Viewing tubes can have different shapes and sizes, including straight tubes, curved tubes or cylinders, depending on the requirements of the application.

 

Applications of sight tubes:

  • Industrial monitoring:
    In industrial plants, sight tubes are used to visually monitor the condition of processes or machines without opening the enclosed space.

  • Laboratory applications:
    In laboratories, sight tubes are often used in reactors, autoclaves or other closed systems to monitor the progress of experiments or chemical reactions.

  • Mechanical engineering:
    Viewing tubes are used in machines and equipment where a visual insight into the operating status or fluid level is required.

  • Food industry:
    In food processing, sight tubes can be used to monitor the flow of liquids in pipes or to check the fill level in containers.

  • Medical technology:
    Viewing tubes are used in medical devices to monitor the flow of liquids or gases during medical procedures.

 

Advantages of sight tubes:

  • Visual monitoring:
    Enables direct visual observation of processes, liquids or materials in closed systems.

  • Simple installation:
    Viewing tubes can often be easily integrated into existing systems.

  • Prevention of contamination:
    As the closed system does not need to be opened, sight tubes can help to prevent contamination.

  • Adaptability:
    The choice of different materials and shapes enables adaptation to different applications.

 

Viewing tubes are widely used in many industrial and technical areas to enable visual monitoring of processes and systems without compromising the integrity of the enclosed space.
