Satisfy the Requirements for ASTM D4169-16 Distribution Cycle 13 Test

The aforementioned ASTM 4169-16 test consists of: Shock / Drop, Compression, Vibration, Low Pressure Exposure, Impact. The acrylic vacuum chamber will be able to meet the Low-Pressure Exposure part of this test.

Keep in mind that we are talking about the Acrylic Vacuum Chamber only. The ASTM 6653 requires a pressure decrease of 1000 ft every 30 seconds to 60 seconds until the altitude equivalent of 16,000 ft or 400 Torr has been reached. You would need a vacuum controller in order to be able to achieve such vacuum increase/decrease and hold - which we do offer.

Many of our clients use our acrylic vacuum chambers to perform package quality testing. Many are package testing laboratories while others are package testing labs that the companies decided to bring in house in order to consolidate resources without having to contract out their package testing needs.

The most popular vacuum chamber used for the ASTM D4169, including the ASTM 6653 test is our acrylic vacuum chamber, hinged side door, front loading. As long as our customer tells us that they are looking to mount this chamber to a vibration table, we gladly add mounting holes onto the bottom wall of the chamber so that it can be mounted to a table.

Altitude Simulation Systems
Altitude simulation systems are devices that simulate a certain altitude equivalent by controlling the vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. Altitude is a function of absolute pressure, therefore if a certain pressure is accomplished inside a vacuum chamber, a specific altitude can be simulated from the set pressure. Altitude simulation systems can be configured to not only hold a certain pressure, a complete pressure vs time profile can be programmed to be run. Furthermore, pressure vs time recipes can be loaded and run based on test requirements.
D-SUB Vacuum Feedthroughs
D-Sub Vacuum Feedthroughs are universal connectors that enable you to connect from the outside towards the inside of your vacuum chamber. We carry a large list of D-subminiature connectors for your vacuum applications such as the 9 pin, 15 pin, 25 pin, 37 pin, and 50 pin or a combination of any described.
Our Work: High Altitude Vacuum Testing of Electrical Connectors and Components
This was an interesting project where one of our customers needed to test wires up to 44 inches long within a high altitude simulation environment. In addition to testing wires, several other electric connectors required altitude testing as well. The altitude requirements were 100,000 feet (30.510 km) which corresponds to 8.36 Torr - a piece of cake when it comes to the vacuum requirements of our chambers.
