The ASTM D3580 as well as the ASTM D4728 use a vibration testing method to quality test packages and shipping containers that will be subjected to vibration due to transport. But what happens if you have several ASTM testing protocols to complete and would like to find a way to consolidate your testing methods so that you can do two or more ASTM testing protocols at once in order to save time, money, and resources; is this something that can be done?

Of course it is. Our customer combined the ASTM D3580 or the ASTM D4728 Testing Method with the ASTM D6653 Altitude Testing Method. This was done by placing a vacuum chamber onto a vibration table. As the Vibration table is running it’s protocol, the Vacuum Pump and Controller are running the ASTM D6653. This means that two package testing methods are done simultaneously.

You are looking at a front loading vacuum chamber made from acrylic. The internal dimensions are 18 inch Wide, 18 inch Deep, and 22 inch High. The vacuum chamber also has Through holes on the bottom of wall outside lip. This will allow for the vacuum chamber to be connected to the vibration table by running four bolts and tightening them fitting the chamber into place. The vacuum chamber also has two door clamps, one lid handle, and four hinges. There is also a 2 inch diameter hole on the top center wall allowing for vacuum components to be connected to it. If you are looking for a vacuum chamber that is intended to be used for a specific custom application, contact us to see how we can help make that happen.

Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers
Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers are Pressure chambers that are capable of vacuum ratings that are the same vacuum rating of acrylic vacuum chambers. Keep in mind that Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers have a pressure limit of 15PSIG
Power Vacuum Feedthroughs
Power vacuum feedthroughs are hermetically sealed off the shelf components used to transfer electrical power from the outside of the vacuum chamber into the inside of the vacuum chamber without compromising the vacuum. One example application would be powering an electronic device inside the vacuum 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.
