Description
Heat-treated flat glass with mica protection makes this Ernst Industries Gauges an efficient, boiler water level indicator. High quality borosilicate glass of special composition to resist temperature shock is carefully tested for surface trueness and assembled with V4 quality sheet mica in heavy steel housing. The mica resists corrosive effects of steam and water. Clamping of the 900 PSI design features individual finger-clamps which assemble easily and promote uniform bolt pressure to assure gasket tightness. The assembly is easily dismantled for cleaning and other maintenance. Window slot width of 1/2” provides a highly visible gauge reading which can be accentuated by using an Ernst Industries illumination assembly. Made in single and multiple window style to handle a wide range of visibility requirements. See tables below.
