Vibration Table Installable Vacuum Chamber
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.

Vacuum Bubble Emission ASTM 3078 Leak Testing Systems
Bubble Emission (ASTM 3078) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process discover and locate leaks or seal integrity failures. Leaks are detected by submerging the specimen into a tank of water, applying a vacuum, and inspecting the submersed specimen for bubble emission. Our Bubble Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM D3078 protocol standard.
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: Vacuum Storage of Pharmaceutical Products and Medical Supplies
A pharmaceutical manufacturer contacted us to build them a large vacuum storage system for their pharmaceutical products. They were looking for as much footprint as possible which is why they got a two-chamber system from us. They needed a total of 6 shelves per chamber including trays. Finally, they were looking to have both chambers to be placed on a table frame assembly with lockable swivel casters. What you are seeing is a two chamber system, each chamber is our 20 inch cube acrylic vacuum chamber, front load hinged door. Each chamber can be accesses independently while the other is under vacuum. The trays can be easily loaded and unloaded. This whole system can also be moved to anywhere in their facility.
