Sight flow indicators refer to the devices which are installed in pipes to provide the direction to the fluid flow. Along with the simple manufacturing and less cost, these can also provide an effective way to observe the color and clarity of process fluids through an incorporated window. Some of the passive components are inculcated into the sight flow indicator in order to indicate flow intensity and direction. This can also be customized according to the diameter of the pipes. Some of the sight flow indicator features include robustness, accurate dimensions, resistance against corrosion, and abrasion-proof. There are various types of sight flow indicators e available in the market including 360° view flow indicator, view-through flow indicator, flapper flow indicator, visual flow meters, rotary flow indicator, drip indicator, and ball flow indicator. 360° view flow indicators are also known as cylindrical, full view or tube-style flow indicators, where fluids are passed through a glass cylinder which is visible from all the sides. View-through flow indicators are designed with two opposing windows through which an operator can see the internal flow of fluids with the help of ambient light or attached luminaries. The flapper flow indicators are incorporated with the hinged flapper which deflects towards the flow and is visible through the sight glass. Another type of sight flow indicator is visual flow meters, which are flapper style sight flow indicators having reset spring for the flapper. And the widely used indicator is the rotary flow indicator which is incorporated with the rotors or impellers in the window view, which turn with the flow and helps the operator to observe the direction and speed of the flow. The other one is a drip indicator, which is particularly designed for drip observation where conventional indicators are installed with a drip tube. And the last is the ball flow indicator, where a ball is fitted in away from where it is visible from the window view and moves from bottom to the top of the sight window to observe the flow.

Market Dynamics
