Borosilicate Glass
Borosilicate glass is a kind of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming element. Borosilicate glasses become famous for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion, making them more resistant to thermal shock than soda-lime glass. borosilicate glass is fit to be used in sight glass lens,
Borosilicate glass is ultra and clear glass with good thermal and chemical properties and outstanding transparent

Our circular sight glass is required in all areas where the visual inspection of processes in vessels has to be ensured under pressure, at high temperatures or on exposure to chemicals. These sight glasses is made mainly from borosilicate glass, we also produce sight glass lens with alumino-silicate glass or quartz glass or sapphire glass
