Custom Sight Glass and Sight Plug Manufacturer

Fanovo is the leading manufacturer in Custom Sight Glass

Science, engineering and applied research; terms that refer to a scope of work so vast and complex that the meanings and implications are virtually limitless. Professionals working in these fields are often engaged in searches for products and services that will keep them on the cutting edge. The list of suppliers at their disposal can be overwhelming…except when it comes to Sight Glass Windows.

Because of the unique and challenging nature of glass, few companies have accumulated the skills and knowledge base to produce a wide range of high tech custom Sight Glass solutions. Applying a glass making technique to a particular challenge may solve one problem; but knowing how to engineer integrated solutions generates lasting value to customers.

For applications that fall outside Fanovo’s established database, Fanovo uses a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) process to ensure quality and mitigate risk. The FEED Process can shorten development time, reduce costs and increase success rates by ensuring that all Fanovo departments and the customer collaborate in the design, manufacturing and testing processes.

The following steps allow Fanovo to determine if an inquiry will be fulfilled by a stock or custom solution.

  1. Customer provides project details by completing the Fanovo Customer Spec Form. Some details to consider:
    • Pressure requirements (max/min/test)
    • Housing type (flanged, threaded, etc.)
    • Temperature (max/min)
    • Clarity requirements
    • Clear aperture
    • Chemical exposure
    • Quantity
    • Project budget
  2. Fanovo reviews requirements:
    • A Fanovo Sight Window Engineer reviews the Fanovo Customer Spec Form and reaches out for further clarification.
    • A determination is made on whether a Fanovo Stock or Custom Sight Window will be the best solution. Fanovo will always recommend a stock option if possible
  3. Fanovo provides a formal quotation as quickly as possible.
