design development

of a vacuum

chamber

for the

Argonne ZGS. (USA) The development of one possible design for a new vacuum chamber for the Argonne Zero Gradient Synchroton is reported with the following features: withstanding full atmospheric load without suffering permanent deformation, operating in a region of high radiation without loss of vacuum or structural integrity, and operating in a pulsing magnetic field with a minimum of eddy current effects.

20 (USA) 719. An unconventional ultrahigh-vacuum facility. A vacuum system was developed which is capable of maintaining a pressure of lo-r0 torr in the interaction region during measurements of atomic collision cross sections. The performance of two pumps is compared. The compartmentalization vessel is described and the procedure for obtaining the required vacuum is given.

Maintenance of high-vacuum conditions for rocket testing. (USA) The cryopump, which provides high mass flows at low pressure, is considered as a technique to provide the high pumping speeds required for testing rocket motors. Some of the difficulties involved in cryopump design are discussed, and formulas for solving for various conditions are introduced. R L Chuan and D A Wallace.

(USA) The vacuum system of the Stanford two-mile linac has been designed as nominally a very high vacuum system operating in the 1Om6to 1OF torr region. Main vacuum pumps are of the getter-ion type; the pumps are connected to an all-metal system fabricated of stainless steel except for Viton O-rings in the valve seats. A brief description of the vacuum system for the beam switchyard at the end of the accelerator is included, since it is an integral part of the system. S R Conviser, IEEE Trans Nucl Sci, NS-12, (3).

(USA)

Design parameters for accelerator vacuum systems are studied with reference to the requirements which appear in modern strongfocussing machines. The two major problems considered are restrictions in both pumpdown time and system base pressure created by trends towards very small apertures. Basic kinetic equations are used in a method of estimating performance. Influence of various pumping systems on prediction is discussed and design recommendations are offered.

degassing.

(USA)

Although vacuum equipment had been installed and used for many years at the Bethlehem Plant, an increased demand for degassed steels necessitated a review of the vacuum installation. The outcome of the analysis was a furnace vacuum degassing unit which is a useful tool for vacuum treating normal electric furnace grades produced by the 2-slag process.

(Netherlands) An improved design of an evacuated chamber is described having two ports in a horizontal plane. The angle between ports can be changed continuously through an angular range of 180” from - 10” to + 170” without disturbing the high vacuum maintained inside.
