Altitude Testing in a Vacuum Chamber

It is not a secret that you can simulate a certain altitude in a vacuum chamber. The good thing about Acrylic Vacuum Chambers is not only that you can simulate an altitude of up to 250,000 feet, you can also fully view your test specimen during your testing operation.

Just the two benefits mentioned about make the Acrylic Vacuum Chambers a very popular item among academia and aerospace industry.

We are proud to show our cylindrical vacuum chamber having the dimensions of 10 inch in diameter and 12 inch High. We include a dial vacuum gauge and two NPT valves with every one of our Standard Vacuum Chambers.

Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs
A Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs are tubes that will allow you to run liquid or gas into your vacuum chamber without contaminating the vacuum levels or vacuum chamber in general. Say you are looking to run a coolant into the vacuum chamber and cool a component you are testing. You can simply install a liquid and gas vacuum feedthrough are run your coolant towards your test specimen.
Our Work: Electronic Component Testing of Satellites at High Altitudes
Electronic Components of Satellites behave differently in outer space as compared to how these behave at sea level. How do you know that your satellite will survive outer space? How do you confirm that your circuit boards will function properly at higher altitudes? There is only one way to find out, and that is to test and validate your design.
