Copper Gasket Conflat Flange Vacuum Seal Industrial Use

Description

Product Overview

This copper gasket is designed to mate two Conflat (CF) vacuum flanges, specifically for a 1-1/3 inch flange size. Crafted from 1/4 hard, high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFHC) stock, it ensures optimal sealing in ultra-high vacuum applications. The gaskets undergo chemical cleaning and processing to reduce scratches and burrs, enhancing performance. Key specifications include a maximum operating temperature of 450°C and compatibility with vacuum levels down to 10-13 torr (10-11 Pa), making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial and scientific environments.

Usage

This copper gasket is ideal for ultra-high vacuum systems in industrial and scientific settings, such as laboratories, research facilities, and manufacturing plants. It is used to seal Conflat flanges in applications like particle accelerators, vacuum chambers, and analytical instruments. The target audience includes engineers, technicians, and researchers who require dependable, high-temperature vacuum seals that maintain integrity under rigorous conditions.

FAQ

What flange size does this copper gasket fit?

It is designed for Conflat flanges with a size of 1-1/3 inches, ensuring a precise fit for standard vacuum setups.

Can this gasket be reused after installation?

No, metal gaskets like this copper one are typically for single use due to deformation during compression, which ensures a proper seal.

What is the maximum temperature this gasket can handle?

It can operate continuously at temperatures up to 450°C, making it suitable for high-temperature bake-out procedures in vacuum systems.

How does the material affect vacuum performance?

The high-purity OFHC copper is impermeable to gases, preventing leaks and maintaining ultra-high vacuum levels effectively.

Is any special handling required for these gaskets?

They should be stored in a clean, dry environment and handled with care to avoid contamination or damage before installation.
