L.J. Star Online Video Shows How to Select Fused Sight Glass View Diameter

TWINSBURG, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
L.J. Star Inc., the leading provider of process observation equipment, announced
an animated video that shatters the myth that sight glasses with large view
diameters are superior to the company`s Metaglas® fused sight glasses. In the
real world, as the online video demonstrates, the strongest, safest sight
glasses have wide metal rings and smaller window views - the products of a
well-tested process of compression.

In just over a minute, the L.J. Star video shows how a sight glass is made, and
it illustrates the indisputable case for compression during the manufacturing of
Metaglas fused sight glasses, which include a borosilicate glass window fused to
a Duplex stainless steel ring.

As the sight glass is heated, the metal ring expands, and the glass fuses to the
metal. As the metal cools, it contracts, compressing the glass. That compression
strengthens the glass. Metaglas sight glasses have wide rings and narrow views
because the glass is under high compression, a sign of greater strength and
safety.

Metaglas is the No. 1 selling fused sight glass, proven in thousands of
installations around the world. Unlike other fused sight glasses, it meets
stringent DIN 7079 and DIN 7080 quality standards, and it is approved for USP
Type I use.
