Re: vacuum chamber advice


 

Ah yes, thanks Drew, I see the difference in that flange. The second one I posted last night looks a bit simpler and has an 8" CF on each end. It's this one:



I would probably want to put a blank on one end and use that for the bottom, and a view port on the top, then plumb the 2.75" CF on the side down to the pumping system.

What do you think?

Thanks,

It looks ok except for that top most interface.? with only 4 bolts across what looks to be 6" dia I am not sure that is a "fitting" interface.? It may be expecting to be bolted down to a thick plate like the top of a cart that holds your vacuum system.
I will look thru my collection of stuff for that flange in case you get that thing.
