| Vacuum technology
The course
of two days duration is intended to provide knowledge in vacuum
physics and in the technological aspects that are needed to
apply this widely diffused technique and to be able to correctly
define the real vacuum conditions that are required for the
interested applications.
The first day will be devoted to vacuum physics and technology;
the second day is intended for one special and very important
application: the leak detection.
It will be possible to attend both the course parts or to one
of the two.
Objectives
- Understanding of fundamental vacuum
- knowledge of factors liming the vacuum conditions
- knowledge of performances of the various vacuum pumps
- knowledge of vacuum gauging in the various conditions
- learning of the design concepts of vacuum systems
- learning about factors limiting vacuum condition as leaks
and proplems connected with their detection
The course is made of two main parts that can be chosen separately
or both together.
