Some of the different types of glass (Reflex gauge glass, Heat proof glass, etc.) used widely around Europe
Reflex gauge glass The Reflex Level Gauge is a direct level gauge that is applied in the containers and steam boiler applications. It is fabricated to provide a safe and positive indication of the level of liquid in vessels operating under high pressure and temperature conditions. It has rigor molded prismatic grooves engraved on the inner surface. This surface comes in contact with the liquid which results in the light hitting on the glass portion being refracted. Due to the refraction, the glass portion covered by the liquid in reflex gauge glass looks black and the glass portion which is covered by the vapor space looks silvery white. This creates a clear and acute lining in the liquid diminishing any chances of error in reading.
