Regolith Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC)

With this rendition of our Thermal Vacuum chamber the customer needed slow pump down times to eliminate “boiling” of the regolith.

Aeronautic Component Test System

Precise, informative and reliable testing of aeronautical components for industry and academia. Our aeronautic component testing systems provide a platform for component testing which enables the user to precisely and easily control the test conditions of the system as well as log-data concerning the article under test. Using thermal vacuum cycle controllers (VCC) and a Snow River® Cascade Heat Exchange, this system is capable of consistently achieving and maintain temperatures in the range of +200C to -96C.

Digital VCC Controlled Low Vacuum Chamber

Particularly useful for degassing, this chamber (in combination with our basic digital control box): Prevents overpumping (e.g. boiling) of the product, by allowing the operator to limit the operational vacuum level (above that otherwise attained by unconstrained pumping). Provides for an automated vent. Allows for manual chamber ‘burping’ while the chamber is being pumped down to its setpoint. Permits a manual vent in the event of a power outage. Is rated for 10-4 Torr service. A Digital VCC allows automatic … Read More

Vacuum Pressing and Sealing in a Vacuum Chamber

Allows you to apply force in a vacuum.

Thermal Vacuum Gas Mix Test Chamber

front view of custom thermal gas mix test chamber

The Abbess Thermal Vacuum Custom Gas Mix System allows articles under test placed inside the chamber to be exposed to high vacuum pressure as well as various temperatures via a heated and cooled Main Thermal Plate Assembly. A secondary Platen allows for a separate source or radiative heat for the Customer’s planned experiments. Mass flow controllers are configured to mix six types of gases and capable of regulating the gas mixture flow into the chamber. A Touch Screen/PC GUI Thermal … Read More

Chamber with Robotic Vacuum Dispensing and Touch Screen Controller

The Abbess Instruments Vacuum Dispensing Chamber System is designed to meet manufacturing process needs for calibrated multi-dosing of plotting material under vacuum. A custom fabricated parts matrix tray and rack system loads into a large vacuum chamber environment while the system first degasses the plotting material in a separate cylindrical chamber. Once the plotting material is degassed and the process specified level of vacuum is achieved in the larger chamber, the plotting is then conveyed to the parts by means … Read More

Stock Cube Vacuum Chambers

Depending on availability, next day service available. If accessories or modifications are needed, please discuss options with us when placing your order or submitting an RFQ. These chambers may also be purchased directly through our online store – Abbess Online. For the past 30 years, we have had customer after customer come back and adapt their chambers for their current needs. The ability for these chambers to be modified and reused after decades in the field is possible due to … Read More

Large Altitude Chamber

The tall size of the altitude chamber allows sample carts to be wheeled in with ease. By being able to load the chamber efficiently, it is easier to subject the product sample process to various altitudes. The operable clear acrylic port provides quick and easy access to a test system without needing to unclamp the larger door. This type of altitude chamber system has been used for pharmaceuticals, electronics hardware, products for spacecraft, biological treatment and processing, explosive sample processing, … Read More

Pre-Designed Altitude Control & Simulation Systems

Abbess Instruments has carefully designed three levels of Altitude Control and Simulation vacuum chamber systems of varying complexity. Listed are standard packages which can be bought as a bundle, or can be customized to fit certain specifications. To get an accurate quote for the system you need fill out our RFQ or call today! Standard Altitude Control Packages: Basic Altitude Control & Simulation Package Benefits: Cost effective solution to altitude simulation Simple and easy to operate user interface Rs-485 compatible Up to 40 step … Read More

Economy 5-Gallon Bucket, with Mixer

We designed a standard 5-gallon vacuum chamber mixing unit to streamline the ordering process. Mixing can greatly improve the degassing operation of almost all materials; it is a must for thicker materials like pastes and gels. All of our products can be made custom through additions or subtractions of features in order to fit the customer’s specification. Each of our Standard Economy 5-Gallon Bucket Bundle comes with the following principle items (not all items included are listed): Vacuum chamber … Read More

Performance Specifications

All performance specifications stated, including but not limited to, pump-down rates and vacuum levels make the following assumptions:

The Vacuum Chamber is empty.
The Vacuum Chamber and other system components are clean and dry.
The System is being operated at Sea Level
The ambient temperature is 18°C +/- 2°C
All system components, including those not supplied by Abbess, are appropriate for the system and are functioning properly.
The specifications are not impacted by the properties of your product.

If you require performance specifications for conditions other than those listed above, it is vital that you make this known to Abbess Instruments in writing. Generally Abbess Instruments recommends choosing chamber and pumping system qualities capable of achieving a theoretical vacuum at least an order of magnitude better than the desired operational vacuum.

It is to be noted that a specification described as '10-5 Torr' is a range, and means the clean, empty, dry chamber system is capable of reaching some undetermined value between 1.0x10-5 and 9.9x10-5 Torr: The (clean, empty, dry) chamber is deemed compliant whether its As-Built base vacuum is 1.0x10-5 Torr or 9.9x10-5 Torr. It does not mean that the chamber is guaranteed to reach every level within that range.
