🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler water gage construction and how the glass is mounted in a flat-type gage • Materials that can withstand high temperature, pressure, and chemical attack from steam and water • Difference between sealing/gasketing materials and protective lining or shielding materials

💭 Think About

• Which material listed is specifically known for forming a transparent barrier that can face the steam and water directly while still allowing you to see the water level? • Think about which materials would burn, char, swell, or deform when exposed continuously to hot, high-pressure steam in contact with boiler water. • Ask yourself: is the purpose of this part to seal around the glass, to cushion it mechanically, to insulate thermally, or to create a clear protective face between the glass and the steam/water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is commonly named in marine engineering texts as a protective layer on the inner face of the gage glass, not just around it. • Eliminate any materials that would not remain stable and transparent in direct contact with boiler steam and water. • Consider which choice is specifically associated with protecting gage glasses in boiler practice, rather than general insulation or cushioning.
