INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Chamber Shell/Body

The structural enclosure of a processing chamber that contains and isolates the internal environment for industrial operations.

Component Specifications

Definition
The chamber shell or body is the primary structural component of a processing chamber, designed to withstand internal pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures while maintaining a sealed environment for controlled industrial processes such as chemical reactions, heat treatment, or material deposition.
Working Principle
Provides a sealed, controlled environment by containing process media, maintaining pressure/temperature differentials, and supporting internal components through structural integrity and thermal management.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), carbon steel with coatings, aluminum alloys, or specialized alloys (Hastelloy, Inconel) for corrosive environments; thickness typically 3-20mm depending on pressure ratings.
Technical Parameters
  • Diameter 500-2000mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.8μm or better
  • Wall Thickness 5-15mm
  • Pressure Rating Vacuum to 10 bar
  • Temperature Range -50°C to 500°C
Standards
ISO 9001, ASME BPVC Section VIII, PED 2014/68/EU

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are best for corrosive processing environments?

Stainless steel 316L or nickel alloys like Hastelloy provide excellent corrosion resistance for chemical processing chambers.

How are chamber shells tested for pressure integrity?

Hydrostatic testing at 1.5x working pressure and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic testing ensure structural integrity.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
