Upon cooling, the glass solidifies and the difference in the linear coefficient of thermal expansion between glass and metal then produces forces that create a uniform compressive stress throughout the glass. This results in the fusion of glass and metal. METAGLAS ® is made by melting circular glass inside a metal frame.These advantages are due to the unique "glass fused to metal" fabrication of METAGLAS ® which gives it unmatched strength and integrity. METAGLAS ® eliminates this mode of sight glass failure, helping to improve safety and avoid the expense and inconvenience of unscheduled plant shut downs.This can cause a relatively minor expense and inconvenience if it happens during installation but a major cost and safety implication if it occurs when plant is fully operational. Conventional sight glasses are sensitive to stress, bending and impact and when subject to mechanical overload they may catastrophically fail without warning.METAGLAS © Improved Safety, Constructive Solutions and Simplified Fitting with Metal Fused Sight Glasses
