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.

Internal Pressurization ASTM F2096 Leak Testing Systems
Internal Pressurization (ASTM F2096) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process to discover leaks in sealed packages. As opposed to the vacuum bubble leak test, where the specimen is subjected to a vacuum, the internal pressurization integrity test creates a pressure difference and drives the air through a leak by internally pressurizing the specimen. Our Internal Pressurization Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM F2096 Protocol Standard.
Altitude Simulation Controller Instruments
An Altitude simulation Controller is type of vacuum controller that simulates a certain altitude because altitude can be derived from vacuum levels. An altitude simulation controller will enable you to hold your vacuum level at a certain altitude equivalent of testing, run an altitude vs time profile, or rate of change of altitude vs. time. Further options include a vacuum pump relay that will control when the vacuum pump turns on and a vacuum valve.
