About this Forum:
In this Forum we will learn how the SAES Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) pumps are designed for applications ranging from high vacuum (HV) to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and extreme-high vacuum (XHV). Theses NEGs are said to combine compactness with efficient hydrogen sorption, providing a stable and low-maintenance solution for demanding environments. The development of sintered NEG materials and the NEXTorr pumps demonstrates their practicality for achieving reliable vacuum performance while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs.
What is the Forum?
The Rodgers RLE Forum is a time to appreciate and learn from examples of impactful engineering. The laboratory hosts these opportunities for engagement in support of its mission to serve as a cutting-edge hub for advancing and sharing knowledge and best practices in high-performance prototyping.
