FOR SAFE PROCESSING

INTRODUCTION TO BARO's LJ STAR METAGAS^® PRODUCT LINE

When it comes to sight glass technology, there is no room for compromise. Plant damage, loss of product and production time, accuracy, and most importantly employee safety are the primary factors when choosing reliable sight glass solutions.

Conventional sight glasses are sensitive to stress, bending and impact and when subject to mechanical overload they may catastrophically fail without warning. This can cause a relatively minor expense and inconvenience if it happens during installation but a major cost and safety implication if it occurs when plant is fully operational.

METAGLAS® eliminates this mode of sight glass failure, helping to improve safety and avoid the expense and inconvenience of unscheduled plant shut downs. These advantages are due to the unique „glass fused to metal“ fabrication of METAGLAS® which gives it unmatched strength and integrity.

METAGLAS DESIGN

The Baro’s LJ Star Metaglas sight glass line is comprised of over 50 years of design evolution and industry collaboration. The Metaglas design process used high degree of mechanically induced compressive stress making METAGLAS the strongest and most secure glass for sight window or visual flow indicator applications.

In keeping the support of their customers in the forefront, LJ Star continues to develop rigorous methods of evaluating current industry trends and contributing analysis of new design specifications. READ about the common misunderstandings between compression and fusion in sight glass design.

METAGLAS® products have been tested and approved by safety testing departments of several major chemical and other companies under a variety of conditions, most exceeding those normally encountered in practice. SEE SOME METAGLAS TEST RESULTS HERE
