We offerProcess Plant Components. The term "process piping" generally refers to piping systems that convey chemicals under pressure or vacuum. It also is used to describe utility piping systems that are used in, or in support of a chemical process, such as plant water. Some places where process piping is used are obvious, such as chemical and petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and pulp & paper plants. The principal features of borosilicate glass used by us are its almost universal corrosion resistance and its low coefficient of thermal expansion. The most important mechanical property of borosilicate glass is that the compressive strength is high and the tensile strength is low. As a result glass process plants are supported from the lowest point. Borosilicate glass equipments by its outstanding properties like transparency and universal resistance to corrosion ensures product purity and process visibility and has wide range of application in chemical, pharmaceutical, food/drink and allied industries and they form the basis for the construction of standard systems for such unit operations as reaction, distillation, evaporation, absorption, extraction and crystallization. In order to help the reader to locate the data he requires, we have divided the contents into sections as mentioned below which broadly classify the components according to their most common applications. - Pipeline Components
- Column Components
- Valves
- Vessels & Stirrers
- Heat Exchangers
- Couplings & Gaskets

Like pipeline components, borosilicate Glass Column Components offer many advantages to its end-user in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food/drink and allied industries. - Excellent corrosion-resistance due to which long life is guaranteed and maintenance is comparatively low.
- Transparency permits visual monitoring of the process through which flow patterns, color changes and other phenomena can be closely observed.
- Smooth pore-free surface allow easy cleaning and prevent the build-up of solids on the inner walls.
- Being inert, contamination is negligible and no unwanted flavors or colors are imparted into the product.
To construct standard systems for such unit operations as reaction, distillation, extraction, absorption and crystallization, the transparency factor of borosilicate glass column components is a particular advantage. For example, color changes in reaction processes are easily monitored and constant visual monitoring of hydraulic performance in packed columns is possible. This section contains components like - Column Sections
- Column Sections with Thermometer Branch
- Packing Support
- Raschig Rings
- PTFE Redistributors
- PTFE Perforated Plates
- Column Feed Pipes & Spargers
- Spray Feed Sections & Pipes
- Column Adapters
- Reflux Dividers – Manual & Magnetic
- Electro Magnet & Timer

Many processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical and allied industries require heat to be transferred between the two fluids. Therefore, Heat Exchangers are of key importance in many chemical process plants. The overall heat transfer coefficients of borosilicate glass also compares favorably with many alternative materials because of its smooth surface which improves the film coefficient and reduces the tendency for fouling. Two basic types of heat exchangers are available: coil type and shell and tube type. Coil heat exchangers are available as condensers, boilers and immersion type units and are made entirely of glass, i.e. the coil is welded to the jacket making a one-piece unit. They are available with exchange areas ranging from 0.2 to 8.0 m2. Shell and tube heat exchangers are of more recent development, engineered for larger exchange areas in conjunction with a compact construction. They are available in various combinations of Glass, Metal and FRP with exchange areas ranging from 1.0 to 25.0 m2. This section contains components like - Condensers
- Boilers
- Immersions
- Product Coolers

Industrial Valves form an essential part of any process plant in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food/drink and allied industries. The valve bodies are constructed from borosilicate glass and the bellows and plugs are of PTFE thus ensuring maximum resistance to corrosion. Transparency of borosilicate glass from which the body of the valve is made makes visual monitoring of the valve operation possible at all times. The PTFE bellow is flanged at one end to seal between the valve body and the bonnet. This arrangement obviates the need for a gland, eliminates lubrication requirements and isolates the mechanism from the fluids being handled. All the valves in the range are suitable for operation under full vacuum conditions at atmospheric pressure. This section contains components like - Line Valves
- Drain Valves
- Angle Valves
- Vent Valves
- Flush Valves
- Pressure Relief Valves
- Diaphragm Valves
- Line Stopcocks
- Drain Stopcocks
- Vacuum Stopcocks

We offer Vessels and Stirrers. Vessels are the basis of many processing units. They are used as reactors, receivers, separators, measuring or feed vessels and as reboilers for stills and circulatory evaporators. Two basic types of vessels are available: spherical vessels from 2 to 200 litres in capacity and cylindrical vessels from 2 to 300 litres in capacity. They are supplied with standard numbers and sizes of side and outlet branches to meet most of the processing unit’s requirement. When spherical vessels are used as reactors or reboilers, the central top neck is generally used for a column or stirrer. The smaller side necks are used for components like thermometer pockets or feed pipes while the bigger side necks are used for charging solids or for the connection of vapor pipes. The majority of vessels have a DN 40 bottom outlet and for application where it is desirable to avoid accumulation of solids the vessel is fitted with a sealed-in glass seat for bottom outlet valve. The vessel range is complemented by stirrers for the construction of corrosion-resistant mixing vessels and stirred reactors. The drives used are fixed-speed or variable-speed with a borosilicate glass shaft driven through a bellow seal or mechanical seal. This section contains components like - Flask Date

The correct choice of backing Couplings and Gaskets for use with borosilicate glass process plant and pipeline components is an important factor from two main points of view. - They must ensure an effective seal of the joint whilst not inducing any undue stress in the glass.
- They must be totally reliable in all service conditions.
Here not only the necessary couplings to join borosilicate glass process plant and pipeline components together are covered but also the couplings needed to join borosilicate glass process plant and pipeline components to other materials. PTFE Gaskets and Bellows are an important aid in the construction of borosilicate glass process plant and pipeline components. They have almost identical properties of corrosion resistance to borosilicate glass. PTFE Bellows can be used to compensate for differential thermal movement between glass and associated equipment and absorb vibrations from them. They can also compensate for possible unevenness on the jointing surface of the other material. This section contains components like - Coupling Flanges

Corrosion resistance stainless steel material can also be supplied on request. The structural support system is robust enough for all and is also flexible enough to meet easy modification to suit changing needs. The components are available in sizes of 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm. When designing structures for glass plant, care should be taken to ensure that allowance has been made for free expansion. This section contains structural fittings like - Base
