Vacuum Storage of Chemicals that interact with Stainless Steel

There are countless chemicals and metals that interact with Steel or Stainless Steel. According to our investigation, Gallium, Cadmium, Beryllium, and Zinc are some examples of materials which will interact with Steel or Stainless Steel during vacuum Storage.

A leading manufacturer or X-Ray components contacted us because another happy client connected us. Their requirements were simple, they wanted to vacuum store some of their X-Ray assembly components inside vacuum chamber. Metallic Vacuum Chambers were out of question because there was a damaging chemical interaction between the X-Ray Components and the metallic walls of the vacuum chamber. At first, we had to investigate to confirm that acrylic was a good candidate.

What you are looking at is a small Acrylic Vacuum Chamber, with shelve holders that will allow our client to place their X-Ray components onto shelves and store them in a vacuum environment. Additionally, they requested an NW40 Vacuum valve since their current vacuum connection was a NW40 vacuum hose that they could easily hook up.

If you are working on developing cutting edge X-Ray equipment and are in need of a vacuum chamber system, Contact Us to find out why so many clients are happy with our products.

Force Decay Leak Testing Systems
Force Decay Leak Testing Systems are instruments that detect and quantify leaks in a test specimen through measuring the drop in force an inflated specimen applied onto a pressure transducer. The specimen is placed into a vacuum chamber, a vacuum is pulled, and the test sample inflates. As the test sample inflates, it applied a specific force onto the force transducer. This force is measured and recorded over time. If a leak exists, the specimen will deflate and lose pressure, as a result, the force it applies onto the force transducer will decrease. This in turn will enable for detection and quantification of a leak in the specimen.
Vacuum Controller Instruments
Vacuum Controller Instruments are devices that measure and control for vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. A vacuum controller consists of a vacuum gauge, control system, and an Human Machine Interface; options include vacuum pump relays and Vacuum valves. A vacuum Controller will enable you to store products at a specified vacuum level or run a vacuum vs. time profile.
Our Work: Chamber for Vacuum Extrusion System
This is a custom acrylic vacuum chamber build for a high volume manufacturer of parts which are fabricated using vacuum extrusion techniques. The challenge was to build a vacuum chamber system which mated on two perpendicular surfaces; on the bottom and on the rear of the chamber. This was accomplished by incorporating a double gasket mechanism on the bottom and incorporating a clamping mechanism on the rear.
