Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ARCHON INDUSTRIES, INC. from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in Archon Industries flow indicator windows?
Archon Industries flow indicators and flow sights use borosilicate glass for the sight window. Borosilicate glass is selected for its thermal shock resistance and chemical durability, making it suitable for a range of industrial fluids and temperatures up to 500°F in some models. The glass is mounted in stainless steel or steel bodies with seals of PTFE, silicone, or neoprene, depending on the specific product.
What is the maximum operating pressure for Archon Industries sanitary full-view flow indicators?
Archon Industries sanitary full-view flow indicators have maximum operating pressures that vary by model. For example, the AKGCL10-C19A0A is rated to 200 psi, while the AKGCL15-C06A0A is rated to 120 psi, and the AKGCL20-C06A0A is rated to 100 psi. These ratings depend on the body material, seal material, and mounting orientation. Always verify the specific model’s pressure rating before installation.
Can Archon Industries gauge valves be used with different gauge glass diameters?
Yes, Archon Industries gauge valves (gauge cocks) are designed to accommodate specific compatible gauge glass diameters. For instance, the TV55-7/07TA02N is compatible with 3/4 inch gauge glass, and the TV55-6/05TC02N is compatible with 5/8 inch gauge glass. The valves feature handwheel handles and NPT drain connections for easy operation and maintenance.
What seal materials are available for Archon Industries flow indicators?
Archon Industries offers flow indicators with seal materials including PTFE, silicone, and neoprene. PTFE seals are used in models like the AKGCL10-C19A0A and AKF-FP020AC07A, providing chemical resistance. Silicone seals are found in sanitary models such as the AKGCL15-C06A0A and AKGCL20-C06A0A. Neoprene seals are used in some plain steel flow sights like the AKF-FP005AA05A. The choice depends on the media and temperature requirements.
Are Archon Industries flow indicators suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting?
Archon Industries flow indicators are available in both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations. For example, the AKGCL10-C19A0A is designed for horizontal mounting, while the AKGCL15-C06A0A and AKGCL20-C06A0A are for vertical mounting. Flow sights like the AKF-FP005AA05A specify horizontal left flow direction. Always check the product specifications to ensure correct orientation for your piping layout.
