Custom Vacuum Test Services

At TS-Space Systems we have over 30 years of experience in vacuum physics along with a fully kitted laboratory. If you have designed your test and wish us to carry it out, we are happy to do so. If you would like some friendly advice on possible ways of conducting your experiment, we are pleased to do that too.

If your testing needs a special part to be designed and built we have access to skilled instrument engineers who will oblige. In short, we offer our test facilities and can be involved in the process as much or as little as the customer would like.

An example of our extensive stock of laboratory equipment we have available to help design and fulfil your contract R & D requirements is shown below:

  • Turbo-molecular and cryo pumps
  • High vacuum chamber with shrouds / turbo-molecular pump and oil-free scroll pump
  • Mass spectrometers (3)
  • Optical spectrometers (2) (320-2500nm, 400-1100nm)
  • Oscilloscopes 2 (20MHz, 400MHz)
  • Bench digital micrometer
  • Function generator
  • Magnetometers (3)
  • Chart recorders (3)
  • Digital acquisition - Multiple, PC Based
  • Power supplies (various up to 50Amps)
  • DVMs (various and calibrated)
  • Leak detector (turbo pumped)
  • Vacuum pumps (various/ hi & lo)
  • Vacuum fittings/ gauge units etc (many)
  • Microbalance
  • Haake water chiller 300W
  • Grant circulating chiller unit (4)
  • Chiller/heater unit (5kW heat and cold)

We can accommodate most requirements for thermal vacuum and thermal cycling tests with a range of pre, post and in-situ measurements available. Full digital logs of temperature, pressure, RGA and TCQCM data are also available on request.

We can be involved from the design stages of your test through to execution and reporting, or if you prefer to set it up yourself we can accommodate technician visits for the setup and retrieval of samples.

​Flight hardware or sensitive samples can be loaded into the chamber from within Class 8 clean tent.

If you have a custom requirement that you'd like to discuss with us, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
