Vacuum Technology Research and Measurement Laboratory
The Vacuum Technology Research and Measurement Laboratory holds an Accreditation Certificate issued by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA), confirming the competence of the reference laboratory.
The primary activity of the Laboratory is the performance of calibrations for pressure measurements in the range below atmospheric pressure (vacuum) and the measurement of parameters of devices operating under vacuum conditions.
Within the scope of accreditation, the Laboratory provides the following services:
- calibration of vacuum gauges and absolute pressure transducers,
- Calibration of helium standard leaks,
In addition, outside the scope of accreditation, the Laboratory offers:
- Helium leak detector parameter measurements;
- measuring the parameters of ion pumps;
- Leak testing (leak detection) of vacuum components or subassemblies;
- making vacuum components such as cathodes and ionization probe grids.
calibration of vacuum gauges and absolute pressure transducers.
Calibration of vacuum gauges and absolute pressure transducers is performed using reference vacuum gauges calibrated by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin. The reference vacuum gauges hold valid calibration certificates issued by PTB.
Calibration of vacuum gauges in the pressure range from 10⁵ to 10¹ Pa and calibration of absolute pressure transducers in the range from 10⁹ to 10⁵ hPa are performed in a static system, whereas calibration of vacuum gauges in the pressure range from 10¹ to 10⁻⁶ Pa is performed in a dynamic gas flow system.
Calibration of reference helium leak standards.
Measurements of the helium leak rate from reference leaks are performed in the range of 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻¹⁰ Pa·m³/s using a reference vacuum gauge calibrated and certified by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin.
Measurements of parameters of helium leak detectors
The following parameters of helium leak detectors are measured : (drift, noise, minimum detectable leak intensity, sensitivity, minimum detectable helium concentration, purge time)
Measurement of parameters of ion pumps
Measurements of pumping rate and final pressure of ion-sorption pumps are performed. The area of research and development activities of the Laboratory includes: development of measurement methods in the field of vacuum metrology, development and construction of new measurement apparatus.
