Simulation of Space Environment and Chambers
Vacuum Chamber
for Space Simulation
For testing pressurized samples placed in an “external” vacuum for space simulation experiments.
These samples can be cryogenically cooled to -196.7C or warmer before placing into the vacuum chamber if you want. If you like we can dynamically monitor the pressure inside the samples to see if they are leaking through the sample wall into the external vacuum.

Sample Material
"Walk Leak" Testing
You will need to supply a small to med sized pressurizable container made of the material you want tested, that has a ¼” or ½” internally or externally threaded connection point. If you want us to do a dry nitrogen purge on your sample, then you would need to print a tube with a threaded fitting at both ends. If you like we can monitor and record the “internal” pressure inside the sealed sampled to see if pressure is leaking through the sample wall into the vacuum chamber.
Options
-
Dynamically monitor the pressure inside the test samples to observe if they are leaking through the sample wall into the external vacuum.
-
Samples can be cryogenically cooled to -196.7C or warmer before placing into the vacuum chamber if you want.
Ultra Low Temperature Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Phase Testing Chambers
Testing chambers are connected to a bulk supply source of Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). Chamber is flooded with Liquid Nitrogen A chamber controller perpetually keeps the reservoir filled with LN2, and monitors and records the temperature in the cryo vapor sample testing chamber. This reservoir of LN2 is also the source of the -150C vapor in the sample testing chamber.

"Internal" Vacuum Testing of 3D Printed Items
For “internal” vacuum testing of 3D printed items in the -150C or -190C vapor chambers: you will need to print a small to med sized container with a ½” internally or externally threaded connection point. If you want us to do a dry nitrogen purge on your sample, then you would need to print a tube with a threaded fitting at both ends. If you like we can monitor the “internal” vacuum inside the sealed sampled to see if pressure is leaking through the sample wall into the sealed sample. This chamber is now permanently on line, and there is no time limit to how long test subjects can be in cryo vapor. We could can leave samples in for months or even years if needed.
Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Phase Testing Chambers
Testing chambers are connected to a bulk supply source of Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). A reservoir of LN2 is maintained under the nitrogen vapor cryo sample testing chamber.
A chamber controller perpetually keeps the reservoir filled with LN2. And controls, monitors, & records the temperature in the cryo vapor sample testing chamber. This reservoir of LN2 is also the source of the -130C to -190C vapor in the sample testing chamber.
Testing samples do not come into direct contact with Liquid Nitrogen.
Temperature Ranges
Automated Variable Temperature Control Chamber -130C to -190C.
Sample temperatures can be varied over the course of the experiment.
Testing Durations
Testing Samples can be stored indefinitely.

"Internal" Vacuum Testing of 3D Printed Items
For “internal” vacuum testing of items in the -130C to -190C variable temperature LN2 vapor chambers: you will need to fabricate a small to med sized container with a ¼” or ½” internally or externally threaded connection point. If you want us to do a dry nitrogen purge on your sample, then you would need to fabricate a tube with a threaded fitting at both ends. If you like we can monitor the “internal” vacuum inside the sealed sampled to see if pressure is leaking through the sample wall into the sealed sample.

Full Submersion LN2 Cryogenic Testing Chambers
Testing chambers are connected to a bulk supply source of Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). The submersion chamber is flooded with LN2. A chamber controller perpetually keeps the sample testing chamber flooded and monitors and records the temperature and liquid (Nitrogen) level in the sample testing chamber.

"Internal" Vacuum Testing of 3D Printed Items
For “internal” vacuum testing of components in the -196.7 submersion chambers: you will need to fabricate a container with a ¼” or ½” internally or externally threaded connection point. If you want us to do a dry nitrogen purge on your sample, then you would need to fabricate a tube with a threaded fitting at both ends. If you like we can monitor the “internal” vacuum inside the sealed sampled to see if pressure is leaking through the sample wall into the sealed container. This chamber is permanently on line, and there is no time limit to how long test subjects can be in submerged in Liquid Nitrogen. We could can leave samples in for months or even years if needed.
