NS 224 - Advanced Vacuum Systems and Troubleshooting II

Credit Hours: 1

Vacuum technology is the field whereby very low-pressure environments are created, maintained, and analyzed, such as those needed in the fields of semiconductor manufacturing, glass coating, and research. NS224 focuses on the design, methods and application of pressure measurement equipment used in high vacuum systems.

Course Outcomes
At the completion of the course, the student will be able to:

explain the concepts of measurement using industrial instrumentation as it applies to vacuum technology;
describe specific operational and maintenance methods using pressure gauges, residual gas analysis, and leak detection equipment;
analyze the application of various pressure gauges; and
interpret information obtained from total and partial vacuum measurement equipment when monitoring and troubleshooting vacuum systems.
