Often referred to as BS&W bowl (bottom sediment and water bowl), our Oil Sight Glass (OSG) can play a critical role in early detection of contamination and allow for constant monitoring of what’s in your oil that can decrease equipment life. Users have an immediate, crystal-clear visual inspection of the oil and a magnified view of the presence of sediment, thanks to an innovative white bottom design. The OSG has the versatility to be installed vertically or horizontally to a drain port depending on space needs for the application. With the addition of indication marks on the side of the bottle, you can quickly and easily monitor the rate of water accumulation.

Benefits

• Allows for the observation of free water within the wet sump
• Spring loaded valve allows free water to be drained off during normal operators rounds
• A darkening of the oil can be indicative of degradation of the fluid
• The presence of a hazy or cloudy oil/water emulsion can indicate a more serious issue such as severe fluid degradation of chemical contamination
• The observation of “shiny” particles in the bottom of the BS&W bowl can indicate active wear
