Phototesting of different materials through vacuum, airflow, and laser
This was a fun project as it involved a custom chamber with the following items: a front door, two airflow diffusers (inside plate with lots of holes), four spare ports, top hole and bottom hole with a gasket to allow for different specimen to be placed, clamped, and tested.

Our client did not tell us much about the details of the project, all we got were the design input requirements and a napkin sketch.

What you see is an acrylic vacuum test chamber. We still have no idea what this chamber is used for, we didn't dare to ask; but it doesn't matter because it was a fun and challenging project and we are happy we were able to help them out.

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
Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs
A Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs are tubes that will allow you to run liquid or gas into your vacuum chamber without contaminating the vacuum levels or vacuum chamber in general. Say you are looking to run a coolant into the vacuum chamber and cool a component you are testing. You can simply install a liquid and gas vacuum feedthrough are run your coolant towards your test specimen.
Our Work: Research, Development, and Testing of Weather Balloons inside a Clear Vacuum Chamber
A wonderful company (more like one of the best companies in the world) which is currently involved with the research, development, and testing of high-altitude weather balloons, had a need for a vacuum chamber capable of achieving about 100 micro Torr (Micron) of ultimate Pressure for their testing environment. Fortunately, acrylic vacuum chambers are the perfect choice when it comes to Low, Rough, and Medium Vacuum.
Related Articles: Force Decay Leak Testing
Force Decay Leak Testing is a very popular quantitative leak testing method used to quality test package and product integrity due to its ability to detect small leaks which cannot be seen through visual inspection. In this method, the test specimen is internally inflated by either internal pressurization or vacuum force. The inflated test specimen will, in turn, apply a force on a pressure transducer. Finally, the change in force applied by the inflated specimen over a specified time is observed.
