Considerable
hands-on and application-specific experience with vacuum equipment that
covers the vacuum spectrum from 'rough' to 'ultra high', from 100 Torr
to 1e-11 Torr.
Vacuum
equipment knowledge encompasses mechanical pumps, Roots boosters, oil
diffusion pumps, turbomolecular pumps, ion pumps, cryogenic pumps,
titanium sublimation pumps with accessories that include baffles and
liquid nitrogen traps, helium mass spectrometer leak detectors, thin
film coating units e.g. magnetron sputtering, thermal coating, and
gauging.
Application
knowledge covers oil processing (hydraulic, lubricating, turbine,
transformer), leak detecting, vacuum forming, gas recovery, materials
handling, vacuum impregnation, thin film deposition, freeze drying,
vacuum physics, electron and ion beam surface analysis and vacuum
metalisation.
