least 50 psig (340 kPaG), and correct any
leakage before proceeding�

5.3 Operating

WARNING

Dual window sight flow indicator installations
should be brought into service slowly to avoid
excessive shock or stress on glass. Rapid
pressurization of sight flow indicator can cause
glass breakage with resulting sudden release
of pressure, causing serious personal injury or
property damage.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

Use only qualified, experienced personnel who
are familiar with this equipment and thoroughly
understand all the instructions in this manual
for all maintenance�

WARNING

Do not proceed with any maintenance unless the
dual window sight flow indicator has been relieved
of all pressure or vacuum, has been allowed to
reach ambient temperature and has been drained
or purged of all fluids. Failure to do so can cause
serious personal injury or property damage.

Determine upon evaluation of your own
operating experience an appropriate
maintenance schedule necessary for the
specific application� Realistic maintenance
schedules can only be determined with full
knowledge of the services and application
situation involved�

6.2 Maintenance procedures

WARNING

Regular and careful attention must be given to
the cleaning and inspection of glass. Glass that is
etched or even slightly scratched is weakened and
may break under pressure. Design ratings listed
in Section 2.2 and 2.3 are no longer valid for sight
flow indicators that contain scratched, worn, or
otherwise damaged glass, and such glass must
be immediately replaced. Failure to do so can
cause serious personal injury or property damage.

1� Glass
a� Keep glass clean using a commercial

glass cleaner and a soft cloth� DO NOT
use a wire brush, metal scraper or any
device which could scratch the glass�

b� Inspect the surface of the glass for any

signs of clouding, etching, scratching,
or physical damage such as bruises,
checks or corrosion that penetrates the
outer surface of the glass� Shining a light
at approximately a 45° angle will aid
in detecting some of these conditions,
which will glisten more brightly than the
surrounding glass when reflecting light�
Detection of any such problem areas or
any surface wear is sufficient evidence
of damage� Immediately take sight flow
indicator out of service� Do not proceed
with operation of dual window sight
flow indicator until the glass has been
replaced by following the Disassembly­Reassembly instructions in Section 7�0�

PENBERTHY SIGHT FLOW INDICATORS

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

2� Shields
Shields which show any signs of clouding,

wear, or deterioration are an indication
that the sight flow indicator glass has been
exposed, or could soon become exposed to
the contained fluid� Immediately take sight
flow indicator out of service� Do not proceed
with operation of sight flow indicator until
shields and glass have been replaced by
following the Disassembly-Reassembly

instructions in Section 7�0�
3� Gasket leaks
Gasket leaks must be immediately repaired�

Do not proceed with operation of a dual

window sight flow indicator until glass,

gaskets and cushions have been replaced

by following the Disassembly-Reassembly

instructions in Section 7�0�
4� Connection leaks
Leaks at a flanged or threaded connection

should be corrected by tightening the bolts

at the connection or by taking the sight flow

indicator out of service and remaking the

connection using Teflon

on all male pipe threads�
5� Corrosion
It is the user's responsibility to choose

a material of construction compatible

with both the contained fluid and

surrounding atmosphere in the user's

specific application� If internal or external

corrosion are present, an investigation

must immediately be carried out by the user

as to the cause of the problem, including

consultation with an authorized Penberthy

distributor�
6� Bolt torque
Bolt torque schedules should be developed

by checking bolt torque values daily until

an appropriate cycle becomes apparent�

The appropriate schedule is such that the

minimum torque is always maintained while

not exceeding maximums at any time as

shown in Table 3�

6.3 Troubleshooting

Problem: Glass or shield becomes etched

or clouded in service�

Cause: Fluid being handled is not

compatible with the glass or shield
material�

Cure: Install shields that are unaffected

by fluid�
Problem: Glass continually breaks in service�
Cause: Warped body as a result of

mechanical or thermal stresses�
Cure: Replace sight flow indicator�

7.0 REMOVAL-DISASSEMBLY-REASSEMBLY

WARNING

Do not proceed with the removal or disassembly
of a dual window sight flow indicator from
connecting piping unless the sight flow indicator
has been relieved of all pressure or vacuum, has
been allowed to reach ambient temperature and
has been drained or purged of all fluids. Failure
to do so can cause serious personal injury or
property damage.

7.1 Disassembly

a� Dual window sight flow indicators should be

disassembled by holding sight flow indicator
firmly and loosening the bolts by following
the bolt loosening sequence shown in
Figure 2 for the specific size sight flow
indicator�

WARNING

Once a dual window sight flow indicator has been
disassembled, all glass, gaskets, cushions, and
shields (where used) must be disposed of since
they are permanently deformed by compression.
Do not under any circumstances re-use those
items since they can cause leaks or high stress
points resulting in glass breakage. If re-used, the
glass may break causing serious personal injury
or property damage.

7.2 Reassembly

a� Refer to exploded view Figure 4�
b� Prepare for installation of new glass by first

cleaning the gasket seating surfaces on the
housing (181), the body (11), and the cushion
seating surfaces on the glass covers (1)�
This should be done using a soft metal
scraper (preferably brass) to remove all
burrs, rust, and bits of old gasket or cushion
which may be present� Exercise extreme
care to avoid gouging or scarring gasket or
cushion seating surfaces�

WARNING

Failure to prepare gasket or cushion surfaces
as described above can result in leaks or glass
breakage with resulting serious personal injury
or property damage.

c� Upon receipt of glass, inspect each piece

individually for shipping damage� During
inspection, and during any subsequent
handling of glass, care must be exercised
to keep glass (especially the polished faces)
from contacting each other or any other
surfaces including table tops� If shipping
damage is evident or suspected, notify
carrier immediately and request a damage
inspection� Glass should be kept in original
wrap within original box until ready to use�

PENBERTHY SIGHT FLOW INDICATORS

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Bumping or sliding of glass against each other
or against other surfaces may result in glass
breaking, scratching, or chipping� Glass that is
broken is dangerous and useless and should
be disposed of in a safe manner determined by
the user� Glass that is chipped or scratched is
weakened and should not be used under any
circumstances� Pressure/temperature ratings
within Table 1 and 2 are no longer valid for
glass that is weakened�

d� Place the sight flow indicator in a horizontal

position�

e� Install glass gasket (7) and housing gasket

(7B) on gasket surfaces of body�

f� Place band (331) around glass (48) and

center glass on gasket�
g� Place gasket (7A) centered on glass�
h� Prior to assembling housing over glass,

some measurements must be taken to

determine if any shim gaskets are required

to be installed between glass gasket and

housing in order to insure a proper seal of

the housing to the body� See Figure 3�
1� Measure the distance from the top

surface of the housing gasket to the top
surface of the glass gasket, Dim "A"�

2� Measure the counter bore depth of

the housing, Dim� "B"� If Dim� "B" is
greater than Dim "A", subtract Dim "A"
from Dim� "B"� The difference of these
measurements will determine what total
thickness of shim gaskets will need to
be installed between the top of the glass
gasket and the housing�

Note: if Dim "A" and Dim� "B" measure the

same, no shim gaskets will be required�
3� Install proper thickness of shim

gaskets, if required, on top of glass
gasket making sure that all gaskets are
centered on glass�

i� Assemble housing (181) over glass, making

sure that all components stay centered�
j� Place gasket centered inside housing�
k� Place band around glass and center on

gasket�
l� Place cushion (8) on glass and housing

gasket on housing�
m� Prior to assembly of cover over glass, more

measurements must be taken to determine

if any shim gaskets are required to be

installed between cushion and cover to

insure a proper seal of the housing to the

cover� See Figure 3�

1� Measure the distances from the top

surface of the housing gasket to the top
surface of the glass cushion, Dim "C"�

2� Measure the counter bore depth of the

cover, Dim� "D"�

3� If Dim� "D" is greater than Dim "C",

subtract Dim "C" from Dim� "D"� The
difference of these dimensions will
determine what total thickness of shim
gaskets will need to be installed between
the top of the glass cushion and the
cover�

Note: if Dim "C" and Dim� "D" measure the

same, no shim gaskets will be required�

4� Install proper thickness of shim gaskets,

if required, on top of the glass cushion
making sure that all gaskets are

centered on glass�
n� Install cover into place�
o� Turn assembly over making sure that all

components stay aligned and follow the
same procedures above for the opposite
side�

p� Threads on studs (3) and nuts (4) must be

cleaned of paint, rust, and scale� Apply a
light coat of oil to the threads and insert
bolts through the nameplate and two (2)
covers, and install nuts finger tight�

q� Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts�

Tighten the bolts in a sequence as shown
in Figure 1� Tighten bolts in increments
of 5 ft·lb (7 Nm) or 50% of torque value as
shown in Table 3, whichever is greater�
Continue tightening sequence at 5 ft·lb
(7 Nm) max� torque until torque values in
Table 3 are reached�

r� Gaskets will become compressed a short

time after bolts are tightened and torque
values will decrease� Therefore, the sight
flow indicator must be retorqued after
24 hours in service, to values established in
Table 3 for the specific model dual window
sight flow indicator�

WARNING

Do not re-torque a sight flow indicator while under
pressure. A sight flow indicator in service must be
freed of all pressure or vacuum, allowed to reach
ambient temperature and be drained or purged of
all fluids before retorquing is performed. Failure
to follow this procedure can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
