Glass Bell Jars From HyVac Products, Inc.


A bell jar is a glass domed vacuum rated container that when inverted on a vacuum plate or similar flat surface is capable of holding vacuum pressures.   All HyVac bell jars are made from ultra high purity, extra dense glass. Standard option items are a precision ground flange bottom and / or a knob on top for easier manual manipulation.   The jars are also available with a plain bottom and regular round or dome top.  We have some sizes that accomodate a rubber stopper in the top of the dome radius.

Sizes Available and Specifications

Also available protective bell jar cages and custom vacuum chambers. Some standard size chambers are available, as are some used chambers.


Stainless Steel Bell Jars From HyVac Products, Inc.


Stainless steel bell jars are also available and there is basically no real standard size.  Everything is made to customer specification and constructed out of 304 stainless steel.

As can be expected these get a little pricey because of their custom approach to construction as opposed to the glass jars above.

There are a wide variety of options depending on application and customer desires.
