Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber
Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber
Our experience and capabilities range from clear acrylic, to aluminum, to stainless steel vacuum chambers in cube, square, cylindrical, and weird shapes. Over the years, we have had the privilege to work with all branches of the US Government, most of the Russell 2000 companies, and most of the companies listed in the S&P500. When it comes to vacuum systems, we have seen it all.

There are several reasons to choose a stainless-steel vacuum chamber. The main reason is that stainless steel will allow for a much greater vacuum performance over acrylic. In fact, all high vacuum systems use stainless steel vacuum chambers. Another reason to go with a stainless-steel vacuum chamber is that stainless steel is capable of higher operational temperatures. The maximum temperature of a stainless-steel vacuum chamber is in the order of about 350 degrees Celsius. Stainless steel is also used because it is resistant to alcohols, thinners, and solvents and unlike acrylic, it will not craze or blemish during exposure to the aforementioned chemicals.

You are looking at a 12 inch Wide, 12 inch Deep, and 12-inch-High Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber with a clear acrylic front door. The chamber door has two toggle lid clamps, one lid handle, and two door hinges. The door will fully open beyond 90 degrees enabling fully loading operation. The chamber has QTY: 4 x mounting feet with 0.5-inch Holes at the bottom. On the top wall, you will see a QTY: 3 x NW25/QF25 Quick Flange 25 ports. Two of these ports are populated with a stainless steel 0.5-inch NPTF valve. The middle port is connected to an Instrutech stinger CVM Vacuum Gauge. This vacuum gauge is capable of measuring and displaying absolute pressure in Torr and millitorr in three significant figures and the range is from ambient to 0.001 Torr or one millitorr.

Altitude Simulation Systems
Altitude simulation systems are devices that simulate a certain altitude equivalent by controlling the vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. Altitude is a function of absolute pressure, therefore if a certain pressure is accomplished inside a vacuum chamber, a specific altitude can be simulated from the set pressure. Altitude simulation systems can be configured to not only hold a certain pressure, a complete pressure vs time profile can be programmed to be run. Furthermore, pressure vs time recipes can be loaded and run based on test requirements.
Belt Drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
A Belt Drive Rotary Vane Pump is almost identical to a Direct Drive Rotary Vane Pump. The only difference between the two is that the belt drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump is driven by a belt. There are several advantages why a belt drive vacuum pump would be preferable. One of these reasons is that the belt drive Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump runs at a slower RPM therefore the temperature created is lower, the wear and tear is less, and the overall lifetime of the pump is longer. The disadvantages are a lower CFM and performance.
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.
