Vitrovex Flotation

VITROVEX® glass floatation spheres made by Nautilus Marine Service provide cost-effective buoyancy to bring moorings, landers, ocean-bottom seismometers and other deep sea instruments safely back to the surface.

VITROVEX® glass properties and high expertise in glass processing by Nautilus Marine Service make it possible to offer glass floatation spheres in different sizes and pressure ratings to full ocean depth.

VITROVEX® spherical glass housings can be completed with neutrally buoyant protective shells in bright orange colour for impact protection, stowing and ease of handling. Depending on the model, protective shells are offered in smooth or ribbed design.

VITROVEX® glass floatation Buoyancy for deep ocean explorations to 12,000 meters.
Protective shells of ribbed design are often used in moorings or applications with high risk of impact whereas smooth protective shells usually used when spheres just need to be mounted directly on underwater equipment or when the protective shell have to be modified to accommodate third party items to the glass sphere. There is no difference in terms of hydrodynamics or net buoyancy.
