Oil Sight Glass

Abstract

The present disclosure relates, in one embodiment, to an oil sight apparatus. The oil sight may include a sight body with a chamber defined in the sight body. The chamber may include a top, a bottom, and a sidewall spanning from the top to the bottom. A separator may be located in the chamber. The separator may be configured to sink in oil and to float in water such that the separator may rest at an oil-water separation line in the chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sight glass comprising:
 a top;   a bottom;   a sidewall spanning from the top to the bottom;   a chamber defined by an inner surface of the top, an inner surface of the bottom, and an inner surface of the sidewall; and   wherein the top includes a first opening defined therein, the bottom includes a second opening defined therein, and the inner surface of the bottom includes a curved surface.   
     
     
         2 . The sight glass of  claim 1 , wherein the first opening has a different diameter than the second opening. 
     
     
         3 . The sight glass of  claim 1  further comprising a magnet integrated into the bottom. 
     
     
         4 . The sight glass of  claim 1  further comprising a drain valve integrated with the second opening. 
     
     
         5 . The sight glass of  claim 4 , wherein the drain valve is made of metal. 
     
     
         6 . The sight glass of  claim 4 , wherein the drain valve includes a magnet. 
     
     
         7 . The sight glass of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall is made of a polymer. 
     
     
         8 . The sight glass of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall is cylindrical. 
     
     
         9 . The sight glass of  claim 1 , wherein the second opening is located at an apex of the curved surface of the bottom. 
     
     
         10 . The sight glass of  claim 1  further comprising an outer surface with a hexagonal shape around the first opening. 
     
     
         11 . The sight glass of  claim 1  further comprising an outer surface with a hexagonal shape around the second opening. 
     
     
         12 . A sight glass comprising:
 a top;   a bottom;   a sidewall spanning from the top to the bottom;   a chamber defined by an inner surface of the top, an inner surface of the bottom, and an inner surface of the sidewall;   wherein the top includes a first opening defined therein, the bottom includes a second opening defined therein, and the first opening and second opening are offset in relation to one another; and   wherein the sight glass is operable in a vertical and a horizontal orientation.   
     
     
         13 . The sight glass of  claim 12 , wherein the inner surface of the bottom includes an angled surface to drain a fluid. 
     
     
         14 . The sight glass of  claim 13 , wherein the inner surface of the bottom includes a curved surface to drain a fluid. 
     
     
         15 . The sight glass of  claim 13 , wherein the angled bottom includes a bottom elevation difference of 0.05 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The sight glass of  claim 12  further comprising a magnet integrated into the bottom. 
     
     
         17 . The sight glass of  claim 12  further comprising a drain valve integrated with the second opening. 
     
     
         18 . The sight glass of  claim 17 , wherein the drain valve is made of metal. 
     
     
         19 . The sight glass of  claim 12 , wherein the sidewall is cylindrical. 
     
     
         20 . A sight glass comprising:
 an inlet means associated with a first side of the sight glass for fluid entry into a chamber;   an outlet means associated with a second side of the sight glass for fluid drainage from the chamber; and   a means for aiding drainage incorporated into the second side of the sight glass.
