A Dual ASME Pressure Vessel And Ultra High Vacuum Chamber Used For Sub-atomic Particle Research



http://physics.carleton.ca/exo
Working collaboratively with Carleton University, All-Weld was able to design and fabricate a pressure vessel which successfully cleared ultra-high vacuum tests well beyond the design requirements. The design incorporated solid metal gaskets and vacuum flange sealing characteristics, redesigned to comply with ASME Code Pressure vessel requirements. The experiments are part of the international EXO (Enriched Xenon Observatory) project observing neutrinos (sub-atomic particles). The vessel is used in the XEP (Xenon Electroluminescence Prototype) experiment.
