Typical Users
Our customers are vacuum engineers in extremely competitive industries and highly demanding R&D environments.
Industrial vacuum engineers have used VacTran worldwide for over twenty five years. VacTran undergos continous improvement, always seeking to reduce the calculation time and effort for designing vacuum systems, or for diagnosing problems in existing systems. We only use common methods that are widely accepted in the vacuum industry. Although VacTran is not intended to solve every system application, it is designed to provide enough general utility to be useful for a wide variety of problems.
Familiarity with vacuum system technology and reasonable design procedures is essential to make effective use of the program, since modeling and results interpretation are only as valid as the assumptions made by the user. Several references are listed in the bibliography for further study. The American Vacuum Society (www.avs.org), with chapter organizations around the country, offers many high quality short courses on vacuum technology. Local community colleges are another source of training.
The following is a partial list of our user community. A wide variety of industries actively use VacTran for their most critical vacuum applications.
