Vibration Table Installable Vacuum Chamber

Vibration Table Installable Vacuum Chamber
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 Decay Leak Testing Systems
Vacuum Decay Leak Testing Systems are Instruments that detect and quantify a leak by measuring the drop in vacuum (pressure) inside the specimen. During a vacuum decay leak test, the specimen is placed into a vacuum chamber, the vacuum is pulled to a specified setpoint, and the drop in vacuum is monitored and recorded over time. If a leak in the specimen exists, the air will travel from a higher pressure (inside the specimen) to a lower pressure (vacuum chamber). As a results of the additional air, the vacuum levels will drop whereas a leak can be detected and quantified.
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: Modified 14 inch Cube Vacuum Chamber for Degassing
This custom job was a modification to our standard acrylic vacuum chambers. When it comes to working with the Us Military, they want all specs to be met 110% and they want it yesterday. The military does not mess around which is why they came to us since we know how important it is to meet specs and ship fast.
