Sight Flow Indicators

Cross Company Sight Flow Indicators

Sight flow indicators, also called direct reading liquid level/flow indicators, provide visual verification of liquid level in a vessel or tank or flow through piping. These simple, durable instruments are engineered and constructed to give safe and accurate indication of level or flow. Applications range from deionized water to highly corrosive chemicals and cryogenic fluids.

Cross Company provides three different styles of sight flow indicators:

  • Level style
  • Armored flow style
  • Lantern flow style

Cross is proud to be a distributor for the Jogler range of direct reading liquid level/flow measurement products. Interested to see how a sight flow indicator can be incorporated into your process? Contact one of the experts at Cross today!

Enhancing Process Visibility and Efficiency

Sight flow indicators (also called sight glasses or viewports) are a vital component in the processes of various industries that rely on fluid or gas processes. These devices offer a visual means of monitoring the flow of substances within pipelines, providing operators with direct insight into the condition, rate, and color of the flow. With a clear view of the process, sight flow indicators contribute to improved operational efficiency, greater safety, and quicker issue identification.

Sight flow indicators have widespread applications across industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, oil and gas, and more. For instance, in chemical processing, operators can use sight flow indicators to ensure proper mixing of chemicals by observing the flow rate and other factors. Similarly, in food and beverage processing, these sight flow indicators can help quality assurance by allowing operators to monitor ingredient flows.
