In vacuum systems chambers contain the vacuum at base pressures ranging over 10 orders of magnitude. The chambers physical characteristics are as varied as applications for which vacuum is used. They can be as small as a few millimeters in diameter or as large as a few meters in diameter. They can be as simple as a regular fourway cross or have hundreds of ports angled towards many internal focal points in many levels of the chamber.
