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.

Optional Items and Features

Basic Vacuum Sequencer and Cycle Timer with Vacuum Regulator

Abbess Vacuum Cycle Controller (VCC)

This Controller is designed to be a part of our rugged bench top vacuum chambers in production or testing. Some of our customers find this to be a practical solution for using a vacuum chamber in a controlled process to dry products, and degas of parts, liquids, plastics, resins, and epoxies.

Wobble Stick (Increased Automation/Manual Movements In Vacuum)

A wobble stick allows movement within a vacuum chamber. Most movements that would typically be done by hand can be done through a wobble stick. For example, in a vacuum under pressure, a wobble stick can move to press a button or rotate an object.

Basic In Stock Cube Vacuum Chambers For Immediate Shipment

These chambers are in-stock housemade chambers ready for immediate shipment. Next day service available.

Vacuum Pump Exhaust and Inlet Filters

General: For peak output performance from a compressor, blower, vacuum pump, engine, or any other machine that consumes air, one must have clean, unrestricted air.

In-Vacuum Turn Table

They allow customers to rotate a number of products under a dispensing point (please see our liquid feed-thrus) under vacuum conditions. 

Vacuum Liquid Feed-Thru

For feeding epoxy or liquids into a part under vacuum

Vacuum Mixing & Casting System with PC Based Controller

Complete with vacuum regulation and motor Start/stop contactor

Contamination Control Package

The Contamination Control Package will be of greatest interest to our Space Simulation customers, especially those who will be placing actual Space Flight hardware in our chambers – whether in component, subsystem, or full system form.
