Windows for Submarines

A journey to the underwater world can offer unique impressions and sights. If you like to explore the underwater world in the protective hull of a submarine, you will need a suitable window. Acrylic is the material of choice when it comes to include viewing and observation facilities into a pressure vessel.

The following propperties of acrylic are crucial for its use in submarines:

• clear, distortion-free view
• homogenous, monolithic character
• certified to be used for Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy ( PVHO-I )

The suitability of the submarine windows is supervised by our classification authority. All processes of the design and the production have to be certified according to the regulations of the Germanic Lloyd. Hydrosight uses nothing but certified acrylic block material.
