Pressure vessel applications
The 5000ml-CT transparent pressure vessel is the ideal choice for production-scale and high-throughput dispensing applications where continuous fluid visibility and a reliable, high-volume pressure supply are equally essential.
High-volume IP and ingress protection testing: The go-to vessel for production-line IP test stations requiring a large, uninterrupted pressurized fluid supply, with the transparent cylinder providing continuous real-time monitoring of fluid levels across extended, back-to-back test cycles.
High-throughput immersion testing: Specifically designed for industrial-grade immersion test setups running multiple sequential tests, where a 5-liter reserve minimizes refill interruptions while maintaining full operator visibility of fluid conditions at all times.
Production-scale fluid dispensing: Perfectly suited for automated or semi-automated dispensing lines requiring a large, stable fluid reservoir — from solvents and reagents to process chemicals — with direct visual confirmation of supply levels throughout the production shift.
Adhesive, resin, and ink supply for multi-station systems: The ideal pressure source for feeding multiple dispensing heads or stations simultaneously with adhesives, UV resins, or inks, where a larger volume ensures uninterrupted output and the transparent body allows instant detection of air ingestion or sediment.
Continuous paint and coating operations: Engineered for small-to-medium production coating lines that demand a steady, high-volume fluid supply, enabling operators to monitor fluid consistency and levels directly without stopping the line.
Pilot-to-production chemical processing: Excellent for bridging the gap between lab-scale testing and full industrial production, providing engineers with a high-capacity yet fully transparent vessel for validating process parameters under realistic production conditions.

CT Series Refurbishment Program
To ensure the continued safety, reliability, and performance of SR-TEK transparent pressure vessels, we are introducing a refurbishment program for all tanks supplied 5 years or more ago. Over time, tubes may develop signs of stress or fatigue due to repeated pressure cycles.
Scope of Refurbishment:
- Visual & Mechanical Inspection: Comprehensive check for crazing, stress marks, cracks, or fatigue on transparent tubes and flanges.
- Component Replacement: Acrylic or polycarbonate tubes are replaced with new, factory-approved tubes. All O-rings and gaskets are replaced with new seals.
- Pressure Testing: Both low and high-pressure leak tests are performed to verify the integrity of the seals and assembly.
- Certification: The tank is returned with a refurbishment certificate, inspection report, and recommended future service intervals.
Process & Contact:
The typical turnaround time is 2 weeks. To schedule a refurbishment or receive an RMA number, please contact us:
