Homemade High Vacuum Pump/System
I've been working on a high vacuum project that should make it easy for almost anyone to copy with only basic hand tools. The links are to the fusor site where I spend most of my time ranting about

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Vladimir, Yes that true i should have put them up before. I put up some pictures on it now if perhaps anybody else want to comment on this or so. Yes i think ill go with to cool it down in some way,

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Henry, Yes, I see now... The pictures would be great to avoid misunderstanding. Anyway, If your cool down your baffle and walls around it, it just will work better. Best regards, Vladimir

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Vladimir, I think you misunderstood me a little. The whole chamber which is flat in contruction but long and where the diffusionpump is connected to in one end looks like an L that is turned 90 degree

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Henry, Actually for 50 mm flange you can use any 50 mm flange valve, but you're right - it is practically impossible to find something for $50 including shipping... Just shipping cost may be more than

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Vladimir, Thanks for the answer! Yes i would like a gate or butterfly valve there absolutely and i have searched. The only place i know is Ebay and the only one i found that would fit, and most likely

Re: Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Henry, You done a great job! Please don't destroy it trying to use difpump without gate! There may be a lot of scenarios how to use it without gate, and on practice they all have negative results,

Procedure to shut down a system without a gatevalve to the diffusionpump?
Hello guys! I have finally built together a small simple high vacuum system with a diffusionpump and the vacuum only goes up from little under 1 milliTorr to 1.2 Torr in 2 days when all valves are

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
I would expect that would not be a problem as long as you are pumping faster than it out-gasses. ;-)

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
S, Simon Quellen Field pis(e: As I already say. That pump is just nice to see. But import taxes and distribution take the price over $250. Sorry.

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
It's OK. With distance about 60 cm you can work up to about 5x10-4 torr. The problem is that Al thin films being deposited on substrate capture gas molecules, and that issue decreases deposited film

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
The distance from the coil to the mirror is about 60 cm (2 feet) in our chamber. Our pressure gauge, which I don't necessarily believe, indicates that we get down to about 7 x 10^ -5 to 1 x 10^4 torr,

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
Molecules free mean path about 1 meter and more is when pressure in the chamber is below about 2x10-4 torr. Actually for Al evaporation than pressure is less, than better. The best is below 2x10^-5

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
Sorry, I didn't pay attention on smilings...:-) :-D :-P Talking seriously - PLUS wall material vapor pressure at the given temperature, PLUS gas permeation through the chamber walls and seals, PLUS

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
That's great! Negative eight-tenths of a bar! Wow! You sure you didn't create a black hole witrh that thing? ;+) Guy Brandenburg, Washington, DC http://gfbrandenburg.wordpress.com/

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
Sorry, Vladimir, as Simon points out, I was joking. The weird spelling was supposed to be a clue to that. I should have added a smiley face for the benefit of those who aren't familiar with American

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
He was joking. ;-) Carrying your analysis a little farther, however, what is the vapor pressure of the walls of your vacuum chamber at room temperature? But we're clearly getting pedantic here, which

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
If you even passed through indicated 10 torr, 10^-1 torr, 10^-3 torr, 10^-6 torr, 10^-9 torr, 10^-11 torr, 10^-14 torr, and then your meter indicates ZERO - it means that you have reached edge of your

Re: "Cheap" vacuum
Sad to tell, by the time I sourced the 3 inch diam vacuum gauge and plumbed it directly to the flare outlet on the pump, to read a magnificent -0.8 bar - it was a little late to go to the dealer with
