SAE Sight Glass Windows

• SAE J514 Straight Thread O-Ring Boss (ORB)- threaded sight glasses
• Exhibits no outgassing or contamination of most systems*
• Long working life
• No maintenance required
• Tested to high safety factor to insure safety & reliability
• Exceeds all industry and MIL standards
• Engineered, Manufactured and tested at the Rayotek U.S. facility

SAE J514 sight windows are designed for use with a soft copper O-Ring (no flare). Rayotek SAE J514 fittings are used for hydraulics, machine vision systems and live observation in a variety of industries including: aviation, marine, power generation and deep-sea applications. The window material is fused or bonded to a corrosion resistant metal housing, forming a hermetically sealed single-piece sight glass. The advantage of this construction is a simple, clean, easy to install system that works excellent in high-pressure applications.

Rayotek SAE Sight Windows are exceptionally robust in extreme thermal, chemical, mechanical and pressure environments. They also perform exceptionally in ultra-high vacuum, high purity, cleanroom rated systems.

Applications:

• High pressure tanks liquid level view ports
• Hydraulic sight windows for aviation, nautical, submarine and vehicles
• Shallow to full ocean depth seawater applications
• Geothermal wells
• Biofuel plants
• Oil & gas exploration & production
• Viewports for inspection and observation

Rayotek sight windows can transmit a broad range of wavelengths and are capable of operating under extreme temperature, pressure, chemical and mechanical conditions. The selection of window and housing materials will determine capabilities.
