Thermal Vacuum (Thermal Vac) Testing
Thermal Space Ltd.
Thermal Vac Testing uses a custom chamber to control temperature and pressure for components and subsystems, evacuating to 10-6 torr and controlling temperatures from -190°C to 180°C.
About this service
Thermal Vacuum (Thermal Vac) Testing is conducted using a custom-designed thermal vacuum chamber capable of being evacuated to 10-6 torr, ensuring that molecular convection heat transfer is negligible. The chamber allows for precise temperature control at the thermal control plate, ranging from -190°C to 180°C (80 K to 450 K). This service is used for testing components like thermal straps and complete thermal subsystems, with accurate measurements of thermal conduction and conductivity based on calibrated instrumentation and established test procedures like ASTM E1225-13.
