Chemical Vacuum Experiments on Gasses and Liquids

Did you know that gasses and liquids and even solids behave differently at different absolute pressures? For Example, water will start to boil at a lower and lower temperature as the pressure is decreased. Water can boil at room temperature if the pressure is decreased to 20 Torr of absolute pressure. Other phenomenon which can happen is that materials can fuse together or weld in high vacuum.

Our client is in academia performing research on Gas Phase and Liquid Phase Experiments. They required a large vacuum chamber that has a spring supported lid. The also asked us to provide them with an electrical NEMA-15 outlet so that they can power up some of their electrical devices inside of the vacuum chamber without compromising the vacuum.

In addition to the above, they requested a 25 Multipin Vacuum Feedthrough. This feedthrough along with the electrical outlet are placed on the rear wall. Finally, they requested 6 x 1/2 inch NPT liquid or gas vacuum feedthroughs that are placed on the remaining 4 exposed walls of the chamber. We plugged these feedthrough ports so that our client is able to remove the plug and hook up their liquid or gas line onto the port and run it into the vacuum chamber. The port is threaded from both inside and outside.

Vacuum Degassing Systems
Vacuum Degassing Systems enable you to remove trapped gas inside your liquids - generally, epoxies. Degassing is a vital part of any two part or more mixing process, this includes but is not limited to epoxy, pharmaceutical mixing, potting, recipe creation. A vacuum degassing system consists of a vacuum pump, connection hardware (includes filters and traps) and a vacuum chamber.
Power Vacuum Feedthroughs
Power vacuum feedthroughs are hermetically sealed off the shelf components used to transfer electrical power from the outside of the vacuum chamber into the inside of the vacuum chamber without compromising the vacuum. One example application would be powering an electronic device inside the vacuum chamber
Our Work: Research, Development, and Testing of Weather Balloons inside a Clear Vacuum Chamber
A wonderful company (more like one of the best companies in the world) which is currently involved with the research, development, and testing of high-altitude weather balloons, had a need for a vacuum chamber capable of achieving about 100 micro Torr (Micron) of ultimate Pressure for their testing environment. Fortunately, acrylic vacuum chambers are the perfect choice when it comes to Low, Rough, and Medium Vacuum.

Visual inspection is an attractive option because it does not require the purchase of any additional equipment. There are several arguments against Visual Inspection of heat seals; the argument against visual inspection is that visual inspection is subjective, unreliable, operator dependent, or not a valid method of inspection. However, if you have the correct training, procedures, and documentation in place, visual inspection can become a powerful tool in your quest for better packaging.
