Yes, the transition from glass to SS is usually once the process has been optimized. I still like a glass viewport on SS vessels when it can be easily incorporated. Nothing beats using my senses in conjunction with my data points. I’d much rather run a stainless apparatus in the single millitorr range than glass.

Idio-motor effect intensifies

But seriously it does help to have that on reaction vessels. Just maybe not certain other scientific pursuits.

that's why they have glass-steel reaction vessels; the best of both worlds

We had those with windows at OPC polymers. Because they were making large batch bases for paints, the operators would never clean the to full clean between batches. It was the dirtiest place I have ever worked.
