VITROVEX Instrument Spheres
VITROVEX instrument spheres are composed of two mated hemispheres that are evacuated and locked into position by a sealant and a protective tape.
DetailsIn ocean research, all stationary and autonomous instrumentation share two essential requirements.
VITROVEX® instrument housings, manufactured by Nautilus Marine Service, are designed to meet both needs, combining reliable pressure resistance with inherent buoyancy. This makes them an ideal solution for small and autonomous underwater instrumentation packages.
VITROVEX instrument housings are available in two primary shapes, with multiple size options and pressure ratings up to full ocean depth.
Each design provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, low thermal expansion, and chemical resistance, thanks to the use of high-quality borosilicate glass.
Nautilus Marine Service supports its VITROVEX product line with a wide range of customization services and accessories to meet your project’s specific requirements. Available options include:
