VITROVEX® Floatation Spheres
Precision-molded VITROVEX® floatation spheres deliver pressure resistance and long-term buoyancy for deep-sea applications, with customizable options for full-ocean-depth deployments.
DetailsIn ocean research, all stationary and autonomous instrumentation share two essential requirements.
VITROVEX floatation housings, manufactured by Nautilus Marine Service, are specifically designed to meet both of these critical needs—providing reliable pressure resistance combined with positive buoyancy for underwater applications.
VITROVEX flotation housings are available in two primary shapes, each offered in multiple sizes with pressure ratings up to full ocean depth:
These high-strength enclosures are manufactured from high-strength precision-molded borosilicate glass, known for its durability, low thermal expansion, and resistance to chemical attack.
Nautilus Marine Service offers a broad range of services and accessories to support the customization of VITROVEX flotation housings. This ensures optimal integration with your project-specific instrumentation, mounting systems, and deployment strategies.
