 A Practical Workshop in Modern Vacuum Technology with Hands-On Laboratory Sessions 

Developed in partnership with

 

 

 

 

and the Joint Arizona Consortium for Manufacturing and Engineering Education for Tomorrow

December 12-13, 2019

ASU Tempe Campus

Tim Karcher, Instructor

 

Description:

Vacuum concepts, equipment, and systems information will be presented to give the attendee an operational knowledge of modern vacuum technology.  Equal emphasis will be placed on theoretical and practical instruction.  Workshop time will be equally distributed between lecture and laboratory sessions.  Lab sessions will consist of exercises to provide hands-on experience with and a working perspective of the vacuum techniques and systems principally used in industry, academia, and government laboratories.

Target Audience:

Researchers, engineers, and technicians who require an understanding of modern vacuum systems

Major Topics:

  • Vacuum uses.
  • Properties of gases.
  • Vacuum pumps (from rough to UHV).
  • Pumpdown, sealing, cleaning etc.                                          
  • Measurement of vacuum levels.
  • Leak detection.
  • Residual gas analysis.
  • Vacuum system design.
