Specialty Borosilicate Glass for Sight Glass Applications
Sight glasses are usually made from glass types that don't have to offer optical quality. They only must be clear to allow visual inspection and monitoring of processes behind the sight glass. Sight glasses generally do not need to provide optics quality. Flatness, parallelism, and surface quality do not matter. Hence, such materials are suitable for lighting applications, viewing ports, temperature-resistant sight glasses for high-power UV-light sources, and similar applications. These materials are more economical than the equivalent glass type with optical grade quality.
