- a housing At least the electronics unit of such a feeder is typically arranged in a housing.
- Components of a field device which can trigger an ignition, for example, often installed in flameproof enclosure, which can stand a pressure occurring in an explosion.
- the propagation of the explosion is thus in principle by a suitable
- Requirements for the housing indicates such that transmission of the explosion from the inside of the housing is not possible. Details regarding these requirements are, for example, depending on the region, EN60079-1, IEC 60079-1, UL2279 PT. 1, UL60079-1 or also CSA E60079-1.
- the respective components of the field device are arranged in a housing body forming a cavity, which can be closed by means of a housing cover ice. To ensure sufficient mechanical stability in the event of an explosion corresponding housing are made comparatively thick-walled and thus relatively expensive. Also display elements for displaying measured values or the like as well as operating elements for making certain
- the housing cover usually have a viewing window, which, for example, a reading of a
- buttons that can be operated through the viewing window.
- the viewing windows are usually potted in the housing cover.
- a flameproof enclosure in which a display element is surrounded on all sides by a pressure-resistant crystal-clear encapsulation.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object, a
- the object underlying the invention is achieved by a housing cover for a field device of

- the viewing window is at least partially made of an impact-resistant material, in particular of a glass, preferably an aluminosilicate glass, a ceramic or a hybrid of a glass or a ceramic and a plastic.
- Corresponding housing covers are therefore ideally suited for use in potentially explosive areas.
- a corresponding housing cover can withstand an impact test of up to 4J and a subsequent pressure load of> 8Qbar.
- the impact tests often form
- micro-cracks which may adversely affect the pressure stability of the glasses.
- Alumosilicate glasses are distinguished, for example, in comparison to other glasses by a particularly high resistance to breakage and scratching.
- it may be a chemically toughened aluminosilicate glass, in which in an ion exchange process in a heated potassium salt melt (at about 400 ° C) in the near-surface glass layers sodium are replaced by potassium ions.
- corresponding glasses are usually crack resistant up to a point load of 40N or more and at least two to three times as scratch resistant as conventional glasses.
- the viewing window is encapsulated in the housing cover body.
- the viewing window is then in principle in a predefinable
- the first and the second sight glass are arranged one above the other.
- the first and the second sight glass of different materials with different,
- microcracks may form at least in a near-surface region of the sight glass due to a mechanical impact. This then has a disadvantageous effect on subsequent high pressure loads.
- Schaugias have a high compressive strength, while the second, the housing outer space facing, sight glass has an increased mechanical stability in terms of cracking and scratching.
- a first of the two sight glasses at least partially made of a temperature-resistant glass, in particular a

- the second sight glass which is a high stability against scratches r and / or cracking, facing the housing outer space, while the first, temperature-resistant sight glass, which serves to ensure a high stability against a pressure load, the
- the two sight glasses have different thicknesses, in particular, the first sight glass has a thickness of at least 10 mm and the second sight glass has a thickness of less than or equal to 5 mm. Preferably, therefore, the thickness of the second, the
- sight glass is less than that of the first sight glass.
- connection is preferably produced by means of a bonding method or by means of an adhesive, in particular transparent.
- Adhesive is preferably at least one layer of a permanently elastic composite substance.
- it may be a so-called "Optical Clear Adhesive” (OCA) or a “Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive” (LOCA).
- OCA Optical Clear Adhesive

- a viscosity of the adhesive is chosen so that a bubble formation between the two
- Another particularly preferred embodiment provides that the two sight glasses have different sized cross-sectional areas, in particular different diameters.
- Cross-sectional surfaces of the two sight glasses are aligned with each other, wherein the cross-sectional area of the second sight glass is smaller than that
- the viewing window are introduced into the housing cover body.
- the two sight glasses can first be connected to each other and then introduced into the housing cover body.
- Housing cover body to contribute, for example, to shed, and in the
- the housing cover is designed such that it is suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
- a housing for a field device with a housing cover according to the invention and by a field device of automation technology, comprising at least one sensor element, a field device electronics, and an inventive housing.
