Portable Pressure Chamber and Custom Vacuum Chamber System

Portable Pressure Chamber and Custom Vacuum Chamber System
Portable Pressure Chamber and Custom Vacuum Chamber System
This portable pressure and vacuum chamber system is specifically designed and built to operate between an absolute pressure range of 60 kPa to 120 kPa. The pump is both a compressor and a vacuum pump. The maximum achievable vacuum of this pump is -25.5 inHg while the maximum achievable pressure is +15 psi or 30inHg. Keep in mind that if a more powerfully vacuum pump is used, a much higher vacuum is achievable because the acrylic pressure and vacuum chamber is capable of going into as low of a vacuum as the vacuum pump allows. On the over-pressurization side of things, the highest pressure this chamber is rated at is 15 psig (g for gauge pressure). This 15psig overpressure allows for water intrusion testing by simulating 10 meters of water depth when the chamber is filled with water and pressurized to 15 psig.

This is a complete system that includes the pressure and vacuum chamber, a vacuum and pressure pump, connection hardware, table frame structure with lockable swivel casters – making this a fully portable unit. There is one additional customization to this chamber and that is that it has an electrical outlet feedthrough on the left wall.

As a standard, each one of our vacuum and pressure chambers comes with two 1/4 inch NPT valves, a dial vacuum and pressure gauge, two lid handles, and a 15 psig safety pressure relief valve which will pop open if the pressure inside the chamber ever exceeds 15 psig. The inside dimensions of this chamber are 20 inch Wide, 20 inch Deep, and 20 inch High. Furthermore, there is a pneumatic toggle valve which allows the user a simple toggle between pressure and vacuum. When the level is toggled towards the front, the chamber is pressurized. On the other hand, when the lever is toggled towards the back, the chamber is subjected to vacuum. The toggle is of course labelled with “Vacuum” and “Pressure” and arrows pointing toward each direction. The lid comes with a total of 16 Thumb clamps, which swing out during openings, and are used to hold the lid down, and keep the O-Ring compressed during pressure operations. Yes, these are not required to be engaged during vacuum operations because the vacuum itself will pull the lid and compress the o-ring by default.

Helium Leak Testing Systems
Helium Leak Testing Systems are instruments which detect leaks in specimen by detecting present of helium. Helium is used as a tracer gas to detect and quantify a leak. For example, a test specimen is filled with helium and placed into a test chamber, a vacuum is pulled and a helium mass spectrometer is connected to the test chamber. If helium is detected, it is due to the fact that it has escaped from the specimen through a leak path. Helium Leak Testing is a qualitative and quantitative method of detecting product leaks.
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: Bubble Leak Testing System with a Dry off Sink used for Leak Testing Large Bags
How do you leak test Large Food Bags? This is the same question a Large Food and Beverage Processor had asked themselves because they had need for a bubble leak testing system which could be used to detect presence of leaks in their large bags. Their requirements were to test several sized bags with the largest bag being 24 inches Wide by 12 inch Deep by 9 inches High. In addition to the bubble leak testing system, they also needed a way to dry the bags after the test.

In the article we are going to cover rotary vane vacuum pumps. We will touch upon how they work, what they are used for, when to utilize a rotary vane vacuum pump, its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps you have noticed that rotary vane vacuum pumps come in all shapes and sizes. On one website, the vacuum pump is less than a $100; on another website you see a vacuum pump quotes at $10,000. I would imagine that you immediately ask yourself what the deal here is.
