Our customers are supported from the initial application review through product selection, configuration and qualification.
Tell us what needs to go deep.
Share the required operating depth, dimensions, payload and interfaces with us. We will help determine whether an existing housing meets your requirements or whether an application-specific configuration is needed.
Why VITROVEX?
Two functions, one material
Glass provides pressure resistance and buoyancy while remaining transparent, corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic and electrically non-conductive.
Proven worldwide
VITROVEX glass housings have supported deep-sea research and exploration since the early 1990s and are supplied to customers in more than 30 countries.
Built around your application
Through holes, bonding, coatings, flanges, connector integration, optical windows and other interfaces can be configured to suit the system inside and around the housing.
Engineered and qualified
Application engineering, finite element analysis and hydrostatic pressure testing support the development and qualification of components and complete assemblies.
