Description
Product Overview
The LAB OUTLET Copper Gasket is engineered for mating two Conflat (CF) vacuum flanges with a size of 1-1/3 inches, ensuring a robust seal in ultra-high vacuum applications. Constructed from 1/4 hard, high-purity, oxygen-free copper (OFHC) stock, this gasket is chemically cleaned and processed to reduce scratches and burrs, enhancing its sealing capabilities. It supports operations down to 10-13 torr (10-11 Pa) and can withstand bake-out temperatures up to 450°C indefinitely, making it a reliable choice for critical industrial and scientific setups where gas impermeability and thermal resistance are paramount.
Usage
This copper gasket is ideal for ultra-high vacuum environments, such as in laboratories, research facilities, and industrial processes involving semiconductor manufacturing, particle accelerators, or aerospace testing. It is commonly used with Conflat flanges to create airtight seals in systems that require minimal gas permeability and high-temperature stability. Target users include engineers, technicians, and scientists working in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering, where precise vacuum integrity is essential for accurate results and equipment longevity.

FAQ
What is the maximum temperature this copper gasket can handle?
This gasket can withstand temperatures up to 450°C indefinitely, making it suitable for high-temperature bake-out procedures in vacuum systems.
Is this gasket compatible with all Conflat flange sizes?
No, it is specifically designed for 1-1/3 inch Conflat flanges; ensure your flange size matches for optimal performance.
How does the material affect the vacuum seal?
The OFHC copper material is impermeable to gases and resists deformation, providing a tight seal that maintains vacuum integrity under high stress.
Can this gasket be reused after installation?
Copper gaskets are typically for single use due to deformation during sealing; reusing may compromise the vacuum seal and is not recommended.
What applications is this gasket best suited for?
It is ideal for ultra-high vacuum applications in industries like research, manufacturing, and aerospace, where reliable, high-temperature seals are critical.
