Research and Development Vacuum Chamber
Vacuum Chambers are often utilized in research and development ranging from pharmaceuticals, product design, or aerospace. Many potential customers reach out to us asking us if this or that is doable with a vacuum chamber. The answer is usually yes, the vacuum systems industry is a mature one and what you may think is something that cannot be done or may be difficult to do, it may have already been done. Most of our builds are custom builds made specifically to customer requirements.

One example is the vacuum chamber you are looking at. This is a top loading, hinged top lid. It has this weirdly machined plate that is difficult to see, since the acrylic is crystal clear, inside the vacuum chamber. You will notice several holes of various patterns and different sizes. These holes are made to accommodate the part that our customer is researching and developing. Furthermore, you will notice two Coaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs on the Right wall. There are also two 0.25 inch NPT feedthroughs where the NPT thread is present on the inside and outside. You will also notice several wires of varying gauge sizes present inside the chamber. These wires are connected via a vacuum wire feedthrough. This means that you can run electrical signal, voltage, amperage, or power into the vacuum chamber during vacuum operations without compromising the vacuum.

As you can see, looking at the Digital Vacuum Gauge, the chamber is currently at 96 milliTorr of absolute pressure. This equals about 99.987% vacuum. We have pulled this much vacuum as our customer required this chamber go beyond 100 milliTorr. If you are looking for a high performance vacuum chamber for Research and Development, contact us to find out why were are the industry leading vacuum chamber manufacturer.

Did you know that we carry a many more products?

We are an Engineering Excellence Company. Check out some of our other items we carry that you can combine/integrate with your systems or projects.

Altitude Package ASTM D6653 Leak Testing Systems
Altitude Package (ASTM D6653) Leak Testing Systems, or Testing Systems which test the effect of higher altitude on packages are vacuum systems that consist of a vacuum chamber, a vacuum controller, and a vacuum pump. The goal of these package testing systems is intended to test and investigate the effects of higher altitudes on the seal integrity, package quality, or container closure integrity.
D-SUB Vacuum Feedthroughs
D-Sub Vacuum Feedthroughs are universal connectors that enable you to connect from the outside towards the inside of your vacuum chamber. We carry a large list of D-subminiature connectors for your vacuum applications such as the 9 pin, 15 pin, 25 pin, 37 pin, and 50 pin or a combination of any described.
Our Work: Altitude Testing in a Vacuum Chamber
It is not a secret that you can simulate a certain altitude in a vacuum chamber. The good thing about Acrylic Vacuum Chambers is not only that you can simulate an altitude of up to 250,000 feet, you can also fully view your test specimen during your testing operation.
Related Articles: Force Decay Leak Testing
Force Decay Leak Testing is a very popular quantitative leak testing method used to quality test package and product integrity due to its ability to detect small leaks which cannot be seen through visual inspection. In this method, the test specimen is internally inflated by either internal pressurization or vacuum force. The inflated test specimen will, in turn, apply a force on a pressure transducer. Finally, the change in force applied by the inflated specimen over a specified time is observed.
