Couplings are available to join borosilicate glass 3.3 plants pipelines together. They are designed to ensure effective sealing of the joints to avoid inducing any undue stress on the glass. Various grades are available for use in all kinds of service condition.

Since there are various terminologies in common uses to determine tube size, the following table is given to compare and relate them to the fitting size reference.

In the design of tubular structure to support glass process plant and pipeline equipment, a number of basic rules should be followed.

1. The structure should be stiff and should always be braced back to the nearest building or other stiff feature to give lateral support.


2. All glass units are built up from a fixed point on which whole weight of the column should be taken. If a total load exceeds the allowable limits, counter balance supports should be used to relieve excessive weight.


3. All Glass unit and their structures expand at different rate as a result of change in temperature. The unit must, therefore, not be subjected to any vertical restraint above the fixed point. Due to this guide are used which give lateral support without affecting vertical movement of the glass relative to the supporting structure. The distance between guide frames must not exceed 3 meters.

Vessels & stirrers provide best solution for all requirements encountered in production processes because of wide range of vessels available. Vessels in either unjacketed or jacketed form are essential components of many units & plants. The vessels can be combined with various components as stirrers, stirrer drive, vessel covers & heat exchangers to construct wide variety of stirred units.
