Ideal Applications
The CT Series transparent pressure vessels are designed for processes where visual monitoring of fluid levels and process conditions is important for safe and efficient operation. The clear cylinder design allows operators to easily check material levels and observe the behaviour of fluids during operation, making them ideal for testing, laboratory work, and controlled dispensing processes.
Typical applications include:
- Laboratory fluid dispensing and research applications where visual monitoring of liquids is required
- Adhesive, resin, and ink delivery systems in small-scale manufacturing or testing environments
- Paint and coating supply systems where operators need to observe material levels during dispensing
- Pilot-scale chemical processing and formulation testing
- IP (Ingress Protection) testing where controlled pressurised fluid supply and visual inspection are required
- Immersion testing systems used for validating sealing performance of components under fluid exposure
- Industrial fluid delivery systems requiring clear visibility of the reservoir contents for process control
CT Series Customisations
The transparent design of the CT Series makes these vessels particularly useful in applications where process visibility, quick inspection, and ease of operation are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transparent pressure vessels are used in applications where operators need to visually monitor fluid levels and process conditions in real time. Typical uses include laboratory fluid dispensing, IP (Ingress Protection) testing, adhesive and resin supply systems, paint and coating dispensing, pilot-scale chemical processing, and immersion testing.
CT Series transparent pressure vessels are rated to a maximum working pressure of 60 psi (4 bar), making them suitable for controlled laboratory and light industrial fluid dispensing processes.
Clear acrylic pressure vessels are lightweight and impact-resistant, making them practical for general laboratory and testing environments. Toughened glass cylinder vessels offer higher chemical resistance and are better suited for applications involving solvents or aggressive fluids. Both options provide clear visibility of fluid levels and process conditions.
CT Series transparent pressure vessels are compatible with a wide range of fluids including adhesives, resins, inks, paints, and water-based solutions. For aggressive solvents or chemicals, the toughened glass cylinder option is recommended. Please consult our technical team to confirm compatibility with specific fluids.
