4.4 Products I worked on:
4.4.1 Tubular Level Indicator:

10
 Fig. 4 Tubular level indicator [4]

Tubular Level Indicator in Fig. 4 is used for visual liquid level observation is very common
in process industry. It is a simple and reliable device for direct reading in atmospheric or
pressurized tank applications. s the process level fluctuates, the level in the transparent glass
tube changes accordingly and gives local liquid indication. This is a very simple instrument.
It is flange mounted to the tank. [2]
4.4.2 Full view sight glass:

Fig 5 Full view sight glass [4]

A Full view sight glass on Fig 5 is a device which is inserted in a run of pipe to observe the
flow of fluid in the pipe. To enhance the visibility of the flow When fluid flows through the
pipeline, it also flows through the sight flow indicator, allowing operators to see the
movement and characteristics of the fluid, such as color, consistency, and presence of
impurities. This is particularly useful in industrial applications where it is important to
monitor the quality and flow of the fluid, such as in the food and beverage, chemical, and
pharmaceutical industries. [2]
4.4.3 Glass Tube Rotameter:

Fig. 6 Glass tube rotameter [4]

A commonly used variable area flow meter is the rotameter shown in Fig.6. In this device,
the flow enters the bottom of a vertically placed tapered tube and causes the bob or 'float'
(which has higher density than the fluid) to move upwards. The float will rise to a point in the

11
tube where the drag force (upward direction) and buoyant force (upward direction) is
balanced by the weight of float (downward direction). [6]

5. Chapter
Testing and Quality Assurance

5.1 Testing of raw materials :

Testing raw materials involves a comprehensive process to ensure they meet the high
standards required for accurate and reliable flow measurement. The procedure starts with a
visual inspection to detect any apparent defects or impurities. Samples of the raw materials
are then taken for laboratory testing, which includes chemical analysis to confirm the
material's composition and physical tests to evaluate properties such as tensile strength,
hardness, and corrosion resistance.
