Vacuum System Design: Learn Fabrication & Calcs

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the design and fabrication of vacuum systems for materials processing, specifically targeting pressures around 1*10^-8 torr. The participant seeks introductory resources beyond the ASME standard, emphasizing the importance of understanding fabrication techniques and essential calculations. A recommended resource is the book available at Amazon, which provides foundational knowledge in this area. Additionally, studying ejectors and vacuum pumps is suggested as a practical approach to learning about vacuum system design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vacuum system principles
  • Familiarity with ASME standards related to vacuum systems
  • Knowledge of fabrication techniques for vacuum components
  • Basic principles of pressure calculations in vacuum systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the book "Vacuum Technology and Applications" for foundational knowledge
  • Learn about the design and operation of ejectors in vacuum systems
  • Study the functionality and types of vacuum pumps
  • Explore pressure measurement techniques specific to high vacuum environments
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, materials scientists, and technicians involved in vacuum system design and fabrication, particularly those working with high vacuum applications in materials processing.

Hi,

I would like to learn to to design Vacuum Systems for typical materials processing. Pressures on the order of 1*10^-8 torr. I know there is an ASME standard, but I am looking something more introductory that goes about how the fabrication is done and what calculations are important. If you could direct me to a book or some other resource it would be much appreciated.

Cheers
