Bell in Vacuum
Bell in Vacuum is a crucial component used in vacuum systems to create an airtight seal and protect sensitive equipment from atmospheric contamination. Typically made of durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it forms part of vacuum chambers or devices requiring controlled environments. The bell ensures the maintenance of vacuum integrity by preventing air ingress, making it essential for experiments and industrial processes that depend on low-pressure or vacuum conditions.
