I Have been thru the groups file section & photo and found them
to be very helpful. Mr. Lerch has also ?been extremely help to, but always
more questions. If I buy I want to be sure that the Eq is correct for the
project due to my budget. That¡¯s one of the reasons I was looking at Diffusion
design and construction, but may end up out sourcing? for both units.
The chamber is in work, so one step at a time until completion.
Thank for the welcome

Hi Bill...
Welcome to VacuumX.
Good questions, some answers should be forthcoming from some of the members
soon. In the mean time, there is a lot of information that you can check in the
VacuumX Group's files, photo's and link's sections on the web page while you
are waiting for answers.

I was looking for information to look at designing and constructing a diffusion
pump verses purchasing one, off coarse sizing is part of the process to. The
size of the containment is or will be 36" in diameter @ 14 inches in
depth, so approximately 8.25 sq.ft. internal volume minus internal components.
