Product Description
Stainless Steel Cylindrical Vacuum Chamber (Lab/Industrial Surplus)
This is a cylindrical stainless steel vacuum chamber, sourced from industrial, research, or semiconductor surplus. Designed to maintain a controlled vacuum environment, it is suitable for experiments, material processing, coating, drying, or as a custom enclosure for specialized projects. Sold AS IS for refurbishment, integration into a larger system, or component salvage.
Key Features (Varies by Unit):
-
Material: 304 or 316 stainless steel (corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic)
-
Shape: Cylindrical (horizontal or vertical orientation)
-
Ports: Multiple flanged ports (e.g., CF, KF, or NPT) for:
-
Vacuum pumps
-
Pressure gauges
-
Electrical/fluidic feedthroughs
-
Viewports or windows
-
-
Closure: Bolted flange with O-ring or gasket seal
-
Size: Dimensions vary; typical 6″ to 24″ diameter, 12″ to 48″ length
-
Vacuum Range: Suitable for rough to high vacuum (depending on seal and pump compatibility)
Potential Uses:
-
Vacuum System Integration: Core vessel for building a custom vacuum setup for research or industry.
-
Thin-Film Deposition: Chamber for sputtering, evaporation, or plasma coating systems.
-
Material Processing: For degassing, drying, or environmental simulation (thermal/ vacuum testing).
-
Educational Display: For teaching vacuum technology, materials science, or engineering principles.
-
Custom Projects: Repurpose as a specialized reactor, glovebox, or containment vessel (with modification).
Important Notes:
-
Inspection Recommended: Examine all welds, flanges, and seals for corrosion, pitting, or damage before use.
-
Seal Replacement: Viton, silicone, or metal seals will likely be needed for vacuum integrity.
-
Technical Expertise Suggested: Suitable for users familiar with vacuum systems, fabrication, or industrial equipment refurbishment.
