10. General Notes

  1. Double window sight glasses permit safe, bi-directional fluid observation from both sides of the pipeline.
  2. Rotary wheel indicators are highly recommended for clear liquids to visually demonstrate flow velocity.
  3. Drip tubes are recommended for vertical upward pipelines to monitor low-flow dropping patterns.
  4. Always tighten cover nuts in a diagonal sequence using a torque wrench to prevent localized glass stress.
