Meyer Tool Receives Award from
Cleaning Aluminum for Vacuum Applications
The aluminum alloys routinely employed for vacuum service are 6061, 6063 (extrusions), 2219 (commercial aluminum Conflat™ flanges) and where high strength is needed and tempering is to be avoided 5052, 5083 and 5086. The chemical composition of the alloy will affect the cleaning process. |

At Meyer Tool we specialize in the design and manufacture of cryogenic, vacuum and pressure equipment for scientific and commercial applications. We’ve been providing custom fabrication of prototype, single-unique, and batch or short run production components and assemblies for critical applications for over 40 years. Our components are installed in the world’s most powerful laser, most powerful particle accelerator, most powerful neutron source, at the South Pole and in other harsh and demanding environments. All these components were installed with no surprises and are working without fault. Demanding customers choose Meyer Tool to deliver their critical components. Our experience and knowledge is what has made this happen in the past and can make it happen for you.

CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, is headquartered in Geneva and occupies regions of both Switzerland and France, but in addition to its European members countries around the world including the U.S. and Japan have made substantial contributions to CERN’s giant new accelerator.
On December 2, 2008 Meyer Tool and Mfg., Inc. was honored by the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Senior Engineers James Davis and Shawn Strickland made a special trip to Meyer Tool to present a plaque inscribed "In Appreciation of your Contribution to the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory." Mr. Strickland and Mr. Davis were key members of NIF's team collaborating with Meyer Tool on a $3.4MM dollar contract for 200+ aluminum vacuum vessels completed in August of 2008.
The use of aluminum for the construction of vacuum and ultra-high vacuum systems has become widespread in recent years. The methods used to clean aluminum for vacuum service have evolved, minimizing or eliminating the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons, CFCs and other hazardous chemicals.
