Nor-Cal Products has earned a reputation as a world-class manufacturer of high and ultra-high vacuum chambers. The quality, appearance and performance of our chambers are unequaled. We supply one-off chambers designed from customer specifications for university or national laboratory research projects, as well as production quantity chambers that are built-to-print for equipment manufacturers. Thin-film deposition and compound semiconductor processing are common applications for our high-vacuum, o-ring sealed chambers that commonly operate at pressures down to 1x10-9 Torr. Vacuum fired 316L material and metal seals are recommended for ultrahigh vacuum surface science chambers that operate at pressures in the 1x10-11 Torr range. Nor-Cal can provide cylindrical and rectangular chambers up to about five foot square with doors, stands, water jackets and Mumetal shields. (Consult the factory for exact capabilities.) We offer a complete line of vacuum chamber accessories that include load locks, sample transfer and positioning devices, liquid and electrical feedthroughs, viewports and roughing components.
Vacuum Chambers and Vacuum Ovens for
Product Testing and Drying
Vacuums to 169 microns
Tenny vacuum test chambers are constructed to perform various types of product testing, MIL-SPEC testing, and can be applied to many commercial production processes. The sturdy chambers provide a complete vacuum system and control system. This equipment is pretested and ready to operate with only the connection of an electrical power source.
The basic chambers are designed to function at vacuum levels to 20 mm Hg (80,000' altitude). Vacuum pump systems of greater capacities are optionally offered for vacuum capabilities to 0.169 mm Hg (20,000') or to achieve faster pump down rates.
