Go to this site for sizes, but here is an explanation:
Our Pyrex brand and Borofloat sight glasses are made from borosilicate glass. We also offer Vycor brand sight glasses which are made of number 7900 96% silica glass. Both are widely used in industry and are well known for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability. A noteworthy difference between our Pyrex and Vycor brand sight glasses is that Pyrex can be heat treated or tempered to about 3 times its annealed strength, but Vycor cannot be tempered due to its extreme heating temperature.
