At Moores Glassworks, we understand that when it comes to sealed systems, quality is paramount. One crucial component in these systems is the vacuum viewport. This transparent window allows for observation while maintaining a robust and reliable seal. These viewports are used in various applications, including laboratories, industrial processes, and high-vacuum environments. Our high-quality glass vacuum viewports are designed with durability, precision, and performance in mind, making them a trusted choice across various industries.
Key Features of Vacuum Viewports
The vacuum viewports we manufacture are known for their exceptional durability and pressure resistance. The materials must withstand internal and external pressure fluctuations in high-vacuum environments without compromising the seal. Our viewports offer high levels of transparency, which is crucial for precision tasks in laboratories and industrial settings, where clear, undistorted views are essential for monitoring processes.
Thermal stability is another critical aspect of our vacuum viewports. Many systems operate in high-temperature environments, so the glass must maintain its integrity. We use only the highest quality glass types, such as borosilicate and fused silica, which offer excellent thermal resistance and clarity. This ensures that our viewports perform reliably, even in extreme conditions.
Applications of Vacuum Viewports
Our vacuum viewports are used in a variety of high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum systems. Laboratories and research facilities often rely on these viewports in scientific equipment, including electron microscopes and spectrometers, where a clear, sealed viewing window is critical. In addition to research applications, our viewports are utilised in industrial processes requiring a controlled environment, such as semiconductor manufacturing and other high-precision industries.
For sealed systems, maintaining the vacuum is essential for the equipment’s operation and safety. Vacuum viewports help achieve this by allowing operators to observe the internal environment without breaking the seal, ensuring the system remains undisturbed while providing a safe, reliable window for monitoring.

We provide a range of options for customisation, ensuring that the glass, coatings, and sealing technology are designed for optimum performance in the client’s specific application.
The Glass Behind the Viewport
The type of glass used is critical to the performance of vacuum viewports. We use borosilicate and fused silica, both known for their thermal stability, optical clarity, and resistance to high pressures. Borosilicate glass is ideal for applications where thermal shock is a concern, as it can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking. Fused silica, on the other hand, offers even greater transparency and is often used in scientific instruments where optical clarity is of the utmost importance.
Sealing and Durability
Creating an adequate seal is one of the most critical aspects of designing vacuum viewports. The integrity of the sealed system depends on the quality of this seal, especially in high-pressure environments. At Moores Glassworks, we employ advanced sealing technologies, such as metal-to-glass seals known for their strength and longevity. These seals ensure the viewport remains airtight and maintains the system’s vacuum, even under extreme conditions.
