Pressurizing the chamber

  • Prepare low pressure manifold
    • Gas bottles
    • Swagelok valves
    • Mass flow controller
    • Getter
  • Prepare inlet and outlet valves
    • Ball valves
    • Needle valves
  • Safety considerations
  • Pressurize to bottle pressure (~1000 psi)
  • Use compressor to achieve higher pressures (~15,000 psi)
    • Turning on the compressor
    • Controlling the compressor stroke rate
    • Changing the pressure limit of the compressor
  • High pressure gas flow system
