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.

Force Decay Leak Testing Systems
Force Decay Leak Testing Systems are instruments that detect and quantify leaks in a test specimen through measuring the drop in force an inflated specimen applied onto a pressure transducer. The specimen is placed into a vacuum chamber, a vacuum is pulled, and the test sample inflates. As the test sample inflates, it applied a specific force onto the force transducer. This force is measured and recorded over time. If a leak exists, the specimen will deflate and lose pressure, as a result, the force it applies onto the force transducer will decrease. This in turn will enable for detection and quantification of a leak in the specimen.
Micro-D Vacuum Feedthroughs
Micro D Vacuum Feedthroughs are Micro D connectors rated for vacuum and are generally installed on the vacuum chamber wall. You can then connect from the outside to the inside of your chamber.
Our Work: Pressure and Vacuum Chamber used for Calibration of Weather Stations across the US
Have you ever wondered how the weather forecast works? You must admit; the weathermen (or weatherwoman) have become a whole lot more accurate over time. 10 years ago, the weather forecast was not as accurate as it is today. Part of the reason is that we have better forecasting technology as in more powerful computers who crunch numbers faster to out a most likely scenario. Another reason is that mathematics, physics, and science has progressed. The main reason however, is that we have better tools and equipment.

An Acrylic Vacuum Chamber can be used to simulate elevation very reliably to altitudes up to 60.9 km or 200,000 feet. This provides several advantages over other testing methods as acrylic is transparent and enables full view of interior during testing. In this article, we will give you a through guide on what can be done to eliminate the risk of packaging damage during shipments at high altitudes.
