Glass Balls are dimensionally
stable, resist corrosion and chemical absorption and
can withstand high temperatures (up to 600° F.) Density
varies depending on the type of glass used to manufacture
the ball. We provide high precision balls from the following
types of glass:
Black Glass Balls
are used in a variety of functions, however, it is most
common in instrumentation. Black Glass is used in flow-meters
and aircraft slip and turn indicators. Black glass balls
are moderately resistant to corrosion.
Borosilicate Glass Balls
are highly resistant to corrosion and most
acids. Strong resistance to thermal shock and extended
exposure to temperatures of up to 600° F ( 290° C ).
Soda-Lime Glass Ball
are used in economical check valves that are not subjected
to thermal mechanical shock. Highly resistant to high
alkaline solutions.
