Quality Assurance of Medical Devices by utilizing Vacuum Chamber and Pump
A vacuum chamber and pump are used in various applications. A vacuum chamber is used to quality test product integrity and specifications. For example, subjecting product to vacuum can help determine the robustness of the product. It can also help determine how this product will behave at lower pressure.

A biotech company reached out to use because they needed a vacuum chamber and system to perform Quality Assurance testing on a variety of their products. They needed something simple and easy to use which is easily operated by everyone in their Quality Assurance Lab. They also needed something that can be placed onto their Lab Bench Top without taking too much space. What you see is a 12-inch front loading, Acrylic Vacuum Chamber. The vacuum chamber opens toward the front, like a fridge, where it can be loaded and unloaded after fully opening the door. As a standard, this chamber comes with two valves and a dial vacuum gauge. One valve is used for vacuum, the other valve is used to vent the chamber and release the vacuum, the dial vacuum gauge will indicate the vacuum levels of the chamber. Included with the chamber is an oil free piston pump from Welch with the ability to pull of vacuum of about 10 Torr. This is more than they need for their test, but it is nice to have because you never know what testing requirements they might have in the future. The vacuum chamber and vacuum pump are connected and optimized for best vacuum performance. The vacuum pump is placed on top of the vacuum chamber in order to save space.

One of the advantages with having us make a vacuum chamber and pump system for is that we provide a fully assembled, ready-to-go, turn-key solution. There is no work required on your end. After you uncrate you vacuum chamber and pump system, all you have to do is plug the vacuum pump into the electrical socket and you are ready to go to start you work. When you work with us, we do all the work for you and there is no work required on your end. No need having to look into long complex vacuum valve specification tables in order to find the vacuum valve that may work for you – we have already done that. No need to look for a vacuum pump and having to scour the web emailing and calling various loosely trained customer facing reps who in the end will send you the wrong part and you will be stuck having to explain to your boss why your project is late. We got the perfect pump specified, connected, tested, and ready to ship to you so that you can do the work you are good at and need to do; we have done the work we are good at, and provided you with a complete system. We are looking forward to hearing from you and finding out how we have help you with your vacuum chamber in pump needs.

Internal Pressurization ASTM F2096 Leak Testing Systems
Internal Pressurization (ASTM F2096) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process to discover leaks in sealed packages. As opposed to the vacuum bubble leak test, where the specimen is subjected to a vacuum, the internal pressurization integrity test creates a pressure difference and drives the air through a leak by internally pressurizing the specimen. Our Internal Pressurization Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM F2096 Protocol Standard.
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs are wires that are run from the outside of the chamber towards the inside of the vacuum chamber. We carry a wide variety of wires and wire gauges that can be used with any 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.

How do you know that you have a good part during your leak test? In order to understand your leak test, you must first understand the Test Decay Curve and what it tells you about your test specimen. There is a certain way that a test specimen behaves during the leak test.
