Sight Flow Indicator ( Double Window )
Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window)
Pitambara Engineering offers a high-performance Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window), designed to provide clear, real-time visual monitoring of the flow direction and condition of liquids or gases in industrial pipelines, tanks, and vessels. This type of sight flow indicator is an essential tool for operators to visually monitor the flow of fluids and ensure the smooth operation of a system. The Double Window Sight Flow Indicator is especially useful in applications where visual confirmation of the flow status is critical, and it provides a broader, unobstructed view compared to single-window designs.
Used in industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas, the Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window) helps to detect issues like flow irregularities, contamination, or stoppages, ensuring that the system operates safely and efficiently.
What is a Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window)?
A Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window) is a device installed in a pipeline or vessel to visually monitor the flow of liquids or gases. It features two transparent windows, typically made from glass or durable acrylic, which allow for clear visibility of the fluid inside the pipe. The double window design offers a wider, uninterrupted view of the flow, making it easier for operators to observe changes in the flow rate, fluid condition, or detect blockages.
These indicators are particularly useful in industries where precise monitoring is necessary to ensure that fluids are flowing correctly and that the system remains free of contaminants or obstructions.

How Pitambara Engineering Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window) Works
The Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window) is installed into a pipeline or vessel where the fluid is flowing. It consists of two transparent windows through which the fluid passes, providing a clear view of the flow and its condition.
- Flow Monitoring:
- As fluid passes through the sight flow indicator, operators can observe changes in the flow, detect irregularities, and monitor the clarity or condition of the fluid, helping to ensure that the system is functioning correctly.
- Direction Indicator:
- The sight flow indicator usually includes a built-in arrow or marking indicating the direction of the flow. This is crucial for confirming that the flow is happening in the right direction, preventing errors in operation.
- Clear Visibility:
- The Double Window design allows for better visibility of the flow, enabling operators to easily spot blockages, contamination, or irregularities in the fluid that may require immediate attention.
The Sight Flow Indicator (Double Window) is often used in conjunction with other monitoring equipment such as flow meters, pressure gauges, or level sensors to provide comprehensive system monitoring.

- During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
- There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
- Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
- The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
- Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
- Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
- Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
- Float systems are simple and easily understood.
- Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
