Electronic Integrity Testing inside Custom Pressure and Vacuum Chamber
One of our customers who designs and builds Electronic and Electrical Equipment reached out to us because they had a need for a custom acrylic pressure and vacuum chamber. They needed to subject their electrical components to a vacuum or pressure environments in order to test the performance of their electrical equipment.

What you are seeing is an acrylic pressure and vacuum chamber. We are looking at the chamber from the right wall. The right wall has a USB vacuum feedthrough and an 8 pin, 5 amp, power feedthrough. The rear wall has an electronic board installed towards the top. The left wall has QTY: 2 x Swagelok Type tube feedthrough, so-called liquid and gas feedthroughs, for a 0.25 inch OD tube. This is intended to be used to run coolant into the chamber during vacuum and pressure operations without compromising the vacuum or pressure operations. The reason there are two liquid and gas feedthroughs is because one tube is used to run the coolant into the chamber while the other is used to run the coolant out of the chamber.

The chamber dimensions are 12 inch Wide, 12 inch Deep, and 18 inch High. There are a total of QTY: 8 Thumb screws which are used to bolt the lid down during pressurization. The lid contains two valves, one dual pressure and vacuum gauge and one safety pressure relief valve that will pop open at 15 psig (the maximum allowable pressure for such chamber. The lid also has two lid handles. You will notice that the bottom wall has interesting design where there are a total of QTY: 8 x slots, 2 on each side. These are used to fasten this whole assembly onto a work table. Are you looking for a pressure or vacuum chamber? Do you need to customize it? Does it need to be robustly designed and quality manufactured to consistently perform and meet your needs? Contact us!

Vacuum Degassing Systems
Vacuum Degassing Systems enable you to remove trapped gas inside your liquids - generally, epoxies. Degassing is a vital part of any two part or more mixing process, this includes but is not limited to epoxy, pharmaceutical mixing, potting, recipe creation. A vacuum degassing system consists of a vacuum pump, connection hardware (includes filters and traps) and a vacuum chamber.
Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs
A Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs are tubes that will allow you to run liquid or gas into your vacuum chamber without contaminating the vacuum levels or vacuum chamber in general. Say you are looking to run a coolant into the vacuum chamber and cool a component you are testing. You can simply install a liquid and gas vacuum feedthrough are run your coolant towards your test specimen.
