Forbes Marshall - Trusted Partners in Steam Engineering & Control Instrumentation

Forbes Marshall View Glass VU

The Forbes Marshall view glass is a simple yet novel product that enables visualizing the flow of steam, water or oil, inside pipelines. The visualization of flow helps diagnose problems occurring in equipment upstream or downstream of the view glass.

  • Constructed using high quality toughened glass or borosilicate oil lapped glass.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes to suit a large number of requirements.
  • Enables users to quickly check the status of the system/equipment which helps to diagnose the performance of critical equipment such as steam traps

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the purpose of the Forbes Marshall View Glass VU?

    The View Glass VU allows users to visually monitor the flow of steam, water, or oil inside pipelines. This helps to quickly identify and rectify any anomalies.

    Is the Forbes Marshall View Glass VU safe to use?

    The view glass is constructed using toughened glass or borosilicate oil-lapped glass for enhanced durability and resistance to temperature fluctuations. Toughened glass is less prone to breaking, making it ideal for high-impact environments. Borosilicate glass can withstand high temperature changes without cracking, making it
    suitable for industrial applications. Both materials offer longevity and safety, ensuring performance under varying conditions.
