MAXOS® - MADE IN GERMANY

MAXOS® safety sight and level gauge glasses have proved themselves universally where visual process control is essential. This includes pressure vessels subjected to thermal and chemical stresses and liquid level gauge application.

A high safety level is ensured by the use of special borosilicate glass of high chemical durability, exceptional purity and homogeneity. Combined with thermal pre-stressing (tempering), high precision processing Auer Lighting guarantees sight and level gauge glasses of highest quality.

Auer Lighting sells MAXOS® in more than 50 countries all over the world. Our special tempered reflex and transparent level gauge glasses and disc sight glasses can be supplied in a wide variety of sizes to fulfill our customers' requests.

Technical characteristics of MAXOS® Long form

Bending strength is determined by the surface compressive stress and the inherent resistance of the glass. The inherent resistance is heavily dependent upon the surface quality.

For safety reasons, the stress to the glasses caused by internal forces, thermal stress and vessel pressure have to be totally absorbed by the surface compressive stress so that a tensile stress of the glass surface is prevented.
