stainless steel cylindrical vacuum chamber

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.
