vacuum chambers
Depressurized sealed spaces
Vacuum chambers are sealed enclosures from which air and other gases have been removed to create a low-pressure environment.
They're essential in scientific research, manufacturing, and testing—used for everything from coating optics to simulating space conditions: The satellite components were tested in a vacuum chamber before launch.
Industrial vacuum chambers enable processes like freeze-drying and electron beam welding that require the absence of atmospheric interference.
