Lighting

For excellent viewing capabilities, Papailias offers lighting for sight glasses and explosion proof light fixtures to enable viewing within a process vessel in non-hazardous or hazardous conditions. Providing both lighting and viewing abilities, our all-in-one sight glasses require only one port into the system.

Explosion-proof light fixtures provide high-intensity lighting through halogen lamps for glare-free and bright illumination. These fixtures are mounted to the outer sight glass flange and remain completely outside the pressure vessel. To ensure safety, explosion proof fixtures are constructed with heavy walls to contain any internal combustion and a copper free aluminum alloy construction prevents corrosion. The borosilicate glass is finely ground to form a tight and precise seal. All lamp and wiring components are rated individually to meet UL-844 and C-UL/CSA C22.2 No. 137 explosion proof ratings.

We also offer a wide variety of sight glass lighting units that are suitable for many types of applications. For uses in enclosed containers such as tanks, mixers, and silos, nonhazardous location lighting units are ideal for providing high intensity lighting in a dust- and water-tight enclosure. Various lighting options are available with a halogen lamp or a proprietary high intensity LED [HI-LED] light technology. PAPAILIAS HI-LED lighting for sight glasses do not generate excessive heat, they feature long lamp life, consume less energy and can be specified as a nonhazardous or explosion proof light fixture.

When it comes to explosion proof light fixtures and lighting for sight glasses, PAPAILIAS is an industry leader in new and innovative technologies. Our industry experience sets us above the competition in lighting the way into your process systems.
