Carsten,Not that its any standard, but I tend to use my acrylic windows to 10 % of destruction pressure. In the case of Krakas acryllic windows that gives us 28 meters since her type of windows tend to get a crack at 280 meters. For UC3 the windows are three times thicker, I havent made tests yet, but I expect destuction depth in 800 - 1200 meters range. She is build for 100 meters diving.
UC3 window mounts is made so windows can be tested to 30 % of destruction pressure ( 300 % use depth ) in situ prior to diving.
If I put one of your fine domes in the hatch above the controlroom - I would be very happy to know its destruction pressure - but it would look wonderfull - and 1500 euros is very exceptionally cheap. I just don´t like to deviate to much from the above "Madsen test standard"

Hi Peter it can be to 200 meter - if the water is not hot. ;-) At 10 degrees it should work. About 150 meter at 24 degrees.
