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.

Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers
Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers are vacuum chambers made from stainless steel. The advantages of a Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber are High Vacuum and a Wide Temperature Range of applications.
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.
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.
