Need Help with Glass Gage Maintenance?

Maintaining a glass level gage properly is what keeps it reading accurately and reliably over years of service - but knowing exactly how to rebuild one correctly isn't always intuitive from a written procedure alone. That's why we offer a complimentary copy of the Rebuilding a Jerguson Level Gage Maintenance Wallchart.

What the Wallchart Covers

The wallchart walks through the process of properly rebuilding a Jerguson level gage - the kind of step-by-step visual reference that's genuinely useful to have posted near the equipment itself, rather than buried in a manual. It's designed as a practical shop-floor resource for maintenance technicians performing glass or gasket replacement, not just a marketing brochure.

Alongside the wallchart, Jerguson also offers a full library of Glass Gage Maintenance Videos, Jerguson Solution Tech Papers, and additional product brochures - all aimed at giving maintenance teams real, usable reference material rather than requiring a service call for routine maintenance tasks.

Why Proper Rebuilding Matters

A glass gage rebuild - replacing worn seals, gaskets, or the glass itself - is a routine maintenance task, but doing it correctly matters. Improper torque, incorrect gasket seating, or skipped steps during a rebuild can shorten the service life of an otherwise good gage body, or introduce the exact leak and seal issues that proper maintenance is supposed to prevent.

This connects directly to points we've covered elsewhere: proper mica handling during reassembly protects the glass from steam attack, correctly specified spring washers help maintain bolt tension over time, and a well-executed blowdown schedule keeps the gage reading clearly between rebuilds.

Building a Complete Maintenance Approach

A single wallchart is most useful as part of a broader maintenance routine rather than a standalone reference. Taken together with regular blowdown procedures, periodic inspection for clouding or degradation, and correct rebuild technique when service is needed, a facility can meaningfully extend the service life of its glass gage installations - some of which, with proper care, remain in service for decades.

Applications

Proper glass gage maintenance matters across:

• Power Generation: Boiler gage glass reliability and ASME code compliance

• Refining & Chemical Processing: Process vessel level gages in continuous service

• Any Facility Running Jerguson Glass Gages: Where in-house maintenance capability reduces dependency on service calls for routine rebuild work
