IMPORTANT REMARK:

The nominal pressure indicated refers to the design base of the sightglass. When welded into the vessel concerned, the base frame becomes part of the vessel wall. It is necessary, therefore, that appropriate strength calculations are made on all vessels concerned with the respect to the design pressure and size of the vessel and in accordance with the relevant design code. If found to be necessary, reinforcement of the vessel wall has to be carried out.
