Abstract

Abstract A sight tube for ultraviolet monitoring of liquid and capable of handling industrial scale flow rates for example 40 gallons (180 litres) per minute in which the shape is especially designed to allow oppositely disposed windows, through which the ultraviolet light passes, to be relatively close together. The sight tube has an interior the central section of which has a flat sided portion adjacent and parallel to the windows, the flat sided portion being flanked by two side portions which are thicker, than said flat sided portion, the tube having cylindrical end sections joined to the central section by intermediate sections which provide gradual transitions between the section shapes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 108 words
A sight tube of the kind having windows at opposite sides and by means of which a flowing fluid may be monitored by light passing through the windows, wherein the interior of the tube has a central section with a flat sided portion between and parallel to said windows, the flat sided portion being flanked by two side portions which are thicker than said flat sided portion in planes perpendicular to a medial plane of the flat sided portion, the tube having end sections of circular cross section joined to the central section by intermediate sections which provide gradual transitions from the end sections to the central section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 108 words
A sight tube of the kind having windows at opposite sides and by means of which a flowing fluid may be monitored by light passing through the windows, wherein the interior of the tube has a central section with a flat sided portion between and parallel to said windows, the flat sided portion being flanked by two side portions which are thicker than said flat sided portion in planes perpendicular to a medial plane of the flat sided portion, the tube having end sections of circular cross section joined to the central section by intermediate sections which provide gradual transitions from the end sections to the central section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A sight tube according to claim 1 wherein said side portions bulge outwards on each side beyond the planes of the inner faces of the windows.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A sight tube according to claim 1 wherein said intermediate sections have a main portion with an interior of oblong cross sectional shape and which reduces in width towards said end sections.
