All viewports are fragile and should be handled and mounted with extreme caution
Never scratch the viewing area-a weakened viewport may implode (or explode under wrong conditions)
Make sure the "glass" chosen has a reasonable transmission at the wavelengths of interest
For safety, we strongly recommend that no viewport is exposed to a temperature ramp of greater than 2-3°C per minute, and that no viewport be exposed to direct thermal radiation
To limit thermal gradients when heating viewports, we recommend the viewing area and the flange be covered with many layers of aluminum foil to act as a reflective shield

Terra offers a wide selection of high-quality vacuum chambers for every application.Watch Terra's Vacuum Chamber VideoTerra offers a wide selection of high-quality vacuum chambers for every application. Economical, high-visibility acrylic vacuum chambers are ideal for most manufacturing, testing, and research applications. Terra's 1” thick welded acrylic (plexiglass) vacuum chambers hold a full vacuum (29.9"Hg) for 72 hours with no detectable leaks. Powder-coated aluminum vacuum chambers offer better chemical resistance than acrylic chambers, particularly when using disinfectants, such as isopropyl alcohol, or sporicidal agents. Stainless steel vacuum chambers are more suitable for chemical, biopharmaceutical, and microelectronics applications with higher temperatures and/or corrosive chemicals.
