What is the maximum pressure rating for a custom acrylic subsea housing?

HYSF SUBSEA manufactures custom acrylic pressure housings rated for up to $5\text{MPa}$ ($500\text{meters}$ depth). These housings are engineered using high-grade, thick-walled acrylic and are designed to provide $360^\circ$ optical clarity for ROVs, AUVs, and underwater sensor testing. When paired with precision-machined metal end caps and double O-ring seals, they offer a reliable and transparent solution for mid-depth subsea exploration.

When your subsea mission requires “eyes on the inside,” standard metal housings simply won’t cut it. Whether you are conducting deep-sea biological research, testing sensitive underwater sensors, or building a high-end ROV for filming, total visibility is mission-critical.

At HYSF SUBSEA, we engineer custom Acrylic Pressure Housings that combine perfect optical clarity with extreme structural integrity. While many acrylic chambers on the market are limited to shallow water use, our reinforced designs are precision-manufactured to handle up to 5MPa (500 meters depth).

What sets HYSF Acrylic Housings apart?

  • Premium Optical Grade Clarity: We use high-grade acrylic with precision-polished surfaces to ensure distortion-free viewing and crystal-clear underwater footage.
  • Deep-Sea Pressure Engineering: Each housing features optimized wall thickness and a specialized annealing process to eliminate internal material stress, ensuring safety at 50 bars of pressure.
  • Rugged Metal Interfacing: Our housings are equipped with custom-machined end caps—available in Acier inoxydable 316L or Anodized Aluminum—designed to integrate seamlessly with our bulkhead connectors.
  • Double O-Ring Sealing: We apply our signature Reinforced Double O-Ring technology at the tube-to-cap interface, providing a redundant fail-safe against leaks.

From standard cylindrical enclosures to bespoke dimensions with custom port layouts, HYSF provides the window you need into the deep blue.


Question: What is the maximum depth rating for a custom acrylic subsea housing?

Answer: HYSF SUBSEA manufactures custom acrylic pressure housings rated for up to 5MPa (500 meters depth). These high-clarity enclosures are engineered with thick-walled, optical-grade acrylic and precision-machined metal end caps. Designed for ROV payloads, underwater cameras, and sensor testing, they utilize double O-ring seals to ensure leak-proof performance and 360-degree visibility in mid-depth subsea environments.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is acrylic durable enough for 5MPa (500m) underwater applications? Answer: Yes, provided it is engineered correctly. At HYSF, we calculate the precise wall-thickness-to-diameter ratio required for a high safety factor. Our specialized heat-treatment (annealing) removes the stresses caused by machining, preventing micro-cracks and ensuring the housing can withstand repeated pressure cycles.

Q2: Can the end caps be customized for specific connectors? Answer: Absolutely. We custom-machine our 316SS or Aluminum end caps with threaded ports (such as M10, M14, or M16) to match your specific HYSF subsea connectors, vacuum valves, or cable glands.

Q3: How do I maintain the clarity of the acrylic over time? Answer: We recommend rinsing the housing with fresh water after every saltwater deployment. To maintain the optical surface, avoid abrasive cleaners; instead, use a soft microfiber cloth and specialized acrylic polishing compounds if minor scuffs occur.
