1. Can I order a custom-size vacuum chamber lid?
Yes. Provide your required dimensions, a technical drawing, or measurements of your existing chamber. Custom designs are subject to material selection and engineering review.
2. Should I choose an acrylic or stainless steel vacuum lid?
Acrylic is useful when visual observation is important and the material is suitable for the process. Stainless steel is often preferred for applications requiring a metal structure or specific chemical and thermal compatibility. The best choice depends on the required pressure, temperature, dimensions, and application.
3. Can the lid include vacuum ports or additional openings?
Ports, mounting holes, and selected feedthrough openings can be considered during customization. Their positions, sizes, and sealing requirements should be confirmed before manufacturing.
4. What information is needed to request a quotation?
Please provide the material, overall dimensions, thickness if known, required working pressure, temperature range, sealing arrangement, quantity, and a drawing or reference photo if available.
5. Can an acrylic lid achieve a high vacuum level?
The achievable vacuum depends on the complete assembly, including acrylic grade and thickness, lid span, support conditions, seal design, ports, and operating temperature. High-vacuum applications require specific engineering validation. Never assume that an acrylic lid is suitable for a target pressure without confirmation.
