What is the name of the transparent communicating vessel installed on the side of the device?

I’m asking the teachers here: what is this transparent tube on the equipment? Are there any standards and relevant materials? A connection tube like this is needed on the device, but I don’t know where to start
The transparent connector installed on the side of the device you mentioned might be a sight glass or an observation window. Such devices are typically used in industrial pipes or containers, so that operators can visually observe the fluid conditions or flow within the pipes or containers without having to open the device. Standards and related materials may vary depending on the industrial standards in your **region. For example, Europe and the United States **may follow standards such as ANSI (the American **Standardization Organization) or DIN (the German Industrial Standard)**. In China, relevant standards such as GB (national standards) may be referred to. These standards specify the dimensions, material, pressure rating, installation method, etc., of the sight glass. If you need to purchase or customize such connecting tubes, you can contact the manufacturers of the relevant equipment, or look for companies that specialize in producing industrial viewports and observation windows, and consult them regarding the models, specifications, and standards compliance of such products. Providing sufficient equipment information, such as operating pressure, operating temperature, and medium type, can help suppliers give more accurate product recommendations. At the same time, you can also consult relevant industry catalogs or online databases to obtain more detailed product information and supplier details. .
It should be a glass tube level gauge; there are certain risks associated with its use. It’s better to replace it with a magnetic flip-type level gauge
Glass level gauges are not allowed to be used on chemical processing equipment; magnetic flip-type level gauges should be used instead
If it is used for measuring liquid level, select a suitable field level gauge based on the process medium, temperature, and pressure
Ancient level gauges – shouldn’t they all be phased out by now?
……It seems to be a level gauge; if it’s made of glass without any protective covering, that’s not good. Alternatively, it could be made of transparent PTFE tubing, which is less likely to get damaged. Its length can be adjusted by cutting it as needed, and there are ready-made valves that can be attached at both ends for fixation :)
It should be a simple level gauge, which uses the principle of a communicating vessel to monitor the liquid level.
