What is the Difference Between a Flow Glass and a Sight Glass?

Flow glasses and sight glasses are both crucial components in pump systems, but they serve different purposes. A sight glass is specifically used to allow a visual observation of a fluid level. This means you can easily check how much oil is inside a pump without having to open it. In contrast, a flow glass is designed to monitor the flow of liquid through a system. It helps ensure that liquids are moving smoothly and continuously by providing a real-time visual indication of flow conditions. Additionally, while a sight glass typically remains stationary and mounted in one spot on the pump or equipment, a flow glass might be part of a more dynamic system where fluid movement is a critical factor. Understanding these differences can help in selecting the right component for your needs, ensuring both efficient and effective maintenance operations.
