Oil sight glass This new sight glass from Des-Case can be used to monitor the oil quality in a variety of industrial equipment, such as pumps, bearing housings and extruder gearboxes. The clear cylinder is made from polyamide and is installed in the drain port of the equipment's oil reservoir. It is compatible with all gear and mineral oils, most synthetic oils and diesel fuel.
What's new? Numerous features, compared to earlier Des-Case products. The sight glass has a white bottom, which makes visual detection of sediment significantly easier than with a typical clear bottom. Also, the device can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, and has a sloped floor for better sediment drainage. It features marks to allow for simplified monitoring of water accumulation.
Benefits Durability, better visibility and improved oil monitoring, which can result in longer machinery life.
