Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Richter SGS envelope | DN15-DN100, 6 bar, -60°C to +150°C | Richter Chemie-Technik — Sight Glasses |
| Richter SGS design | Cylindrical, viewable from all sides | Richter Chemie-Technik — Sight Glasses |
| Richter SGS level-indication capability | Cavity-free design option, usable as a level indicator | Richter Chemie-Technik — Sight Glasses |
| Richter SGS variants | SGS/F (PFA) and SGS/F-L (PFA antistatic) | Richter Chemie-Technik — Sight Glasses |
SGS carries the narrowest temperature range and lowest pressure rating of Richter's three sight-glass models — a real thermal/pressure tradeoff that comes with its level-indicator capability, worth confirming against the tank farm's actual operating pressure before specifying it over the PSG or TSG.
A chemical storage tank farm sight glass used for level visualization has a different job than an in-line process sight-check — Richter's SGS is the one model in the line engineered for it, with a cavity-free design that functions as a level indicator, but that capability comes at a real cost: the narrowest temperature range and lowest pressure rating (6 bar) of the three sight-glass models.
