COMBINATION EXPLOSION-PROOF LIGHT AND SANITARY SIGHTGLASS ASSEMBLY

The new Series SLEX-100/SVTC and REX-100/SVTC from Papailias, Inc. combines an explosion-proof light with a sanitary clamp-type sight glass, allowing users to illuminate the contents of a pressurized vessel or pipeline with 100w of lighting intensity on existing standard sanitary clamp style ferrules. The lighting fixture is a UL-844 and CSA C22.2 listed explosion-proof light, suitable for Class 1, 2, Divisions 1, 2, Groups C, D, E, F, and G. Both models use high intensity halogen lamps to provide glare-free illumination. The light housing is made from polished corrosion resistant copper-free aluminum alloy No. 356T6. All castings are made with heavy walls to withstand internal explosions without damage. They will contain and extinguish flames of burning gases before they ignite the surrounding atmosphere. Both the lamp and the wiring compartments are separate and are individually explosion-proof. Both the SLEX-100/SVTC and REX-100/SVTC can be relamped without removing the unit from service or disturbing any electrical connections.

The SLEX-100/SVTC and REX-100/SVTC is fitted with a Series SVTC sight glass. The lens of the sight glass is an integral part of the unit, not a loose part. The clamping ferrule, constructed from 316L stainless steel, is polished to meet 3A requirements. The standard unit is suitable for 150PSIG and full vacuum with a maximum temperature limit 500 F. Higher temperature and pressure ratings are available.
