Aviation and Drone Technology Testing Chamber

Aviation and Drone Technology Testing Chamber
Aviation and Drone Technology Testing Chamber
Drone Technology has been very popular lately and it seems that we have yet to run out of ideas on how unmanned drones can be used in our every day lives. Over the past ten years, we have seen an explosion in drone applications from delivery, photography, reconnaissance, war, investigations, architecture, medical, aerospace, etc… As drone tech improves so does drone Quality control and it becomes crucial to test and retest the operability of each drone in order to confirm that the product meets or exceeds expectations.

An aviation and drone technology development and manufacturing company contacted us to design and build a testing chamber that will be capable to allow them to quality test various aviation and drone components. What you are looking at are two identical test chambers that we have built for them, but this was actually not the first job we have done for them. Initially they requested a single chamber and then they revised the first design to optimize their requirements which yielded two more identical chambers.

Each chamber has internal dimensions of 12-inch cube. The test chamber has a NW25, blanked off, port at the bottom wall. The bottom wall is also lifted via a skirt by about 5 inches from the ground. Each lid has QTY: 2 x NW40 vacuum valves. We don’t really know why the chamber has QTY: 2 x NW40 vacuum valves because it does seem excessive. We asked, and they told us because the NW40 vacuum valve has in Internal Diameter of about 1.375 inch which is what they were interested in. The lid also has two more valves that have a NW25 port adapter. One of the valves has a filter element connected to it. This is something we don’t usually see because this filter is connected to a rotary vane vacuum pump exhaust and not to a valve which is connected to a testing chamber. So we asked and they did not tell us why, this was something proprietary to their test. The lid also has a dial vacuum gauge and two lid handles allowing for a fully removable lid. The lid is clamped down via QTY: 4 x lid clamps. Also, everything that is in contact with the inside of the test chamber is stainless steel. Contact us if you are looking to build a custom test chamber for your next project.

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.
Ethernet Vacuum Feedthroughs
Ethernet Vacuum Feedthroughs are Vacuum Rated Ethernet connectors that enable you to run ethernet cables into your vacuum chamber. Simply connect your ethernet connector to the outside of the vacuum chamber and another ethernet cord from the inside and run it into your part present inside your vacuum chamber.
Our Work: 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.
