Vacuum Chamber
A vacuum chamber is a sealed container from which air or other gases have been removed to create a low-pressure environment. The pressure inside a vacuum chamber is typically much lower than atmospheric pressure, and we can manufacture the chambers range from a few millibars to as low as 10^-12 torr in ultra-high vacuum.
Our vacuum chambers are used in a wide range of scientific, industrial, and commercial applications. Some common uses include:
- Materials science research: Vacuum chambers are used to study the behavior of materials in low-pressure environments, allowing researchers to investigate properties such as surface chemistry, adhesion, and degradation.
- Electronics manufacturing: Vacuum chambers are used to deposit thin films of materials onto electronic components, such as semiconductors and solar cells.
- Aerospace engineering: Vacuum chambers are used to simulate the low-pressure environment of space, allowing engineers to test the performance of spacecraft components and materials under extreme conditions.
- Food preservation: Vacuum chambers can be used to remove air from food packaging, extending the shelf life of perishable products.
Vacuum chambers can be constructed from a variety of materials, depending on the specific application. Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and glass. The chamber is typically sealed using a variety of methods, such as o-ring seals, flanges, or welded joints.
To create a vacuum inside the chamber, a vacuum pump is used to remove air and other gases. There are several types of vacuum pumps, including rotary vane pumps, diaphragm pumps, and turbomolecular pumps, each with its own advantages and limitations.
Overall, vacuum chambers are an essential tool in many fields of science and industry, allowing researchers and engineers to explore the behavior of materials and systems in low-pressure environments.
Yunmu Technology can also accept custom vacuum chambers according to your drawings and design.
