What are the advantages of square rounded corner windows?
1. Rounded corners eliminate stress concentrations at right angles, reducing the risk of window rupture during installation or under pressure (especially suitable for high pressure or vacuum environments).
2. The rounded corners allow for easy fitment of the O-ring to improve sealing performance (compared to right angled square windows that are prone to leakage due to minor misalignments).
3. Rounded corners prevent sharp edges from scratching sealing materials or mounting fixtures, extending service life.
4. Rounded corners reduce the diffraction effect of light beams at the edges, which is especially beneficial for high precision optical systems (e.g. interferometers, laser collimation).
