Upon final machining, all components are washed in a heated ultrasonic detergent bath followed by multiple ultrasonic deionized water rinses to remove all residual machining lubricants. After final rinse, parts are blown dry with dry, heated, filtered air and packaged.

After cleaning and testing, flanges and small compo­nents are hermetically sealed in vacuum board packag­ing and are ready for UHV installation. Larger flanges are covered with a layer of foil and protective plastic shields. Weldments and assemblies are then bagged, bubble-wrapped, and inserted into a shipping container surrounded by void filling "pillow" wrap. Custom crating is available.

All weld joints and sealing surfaces are certified with state-of-the-art helium mass spectrometer leak detectors to a maximum rate of 1x10^A9 std. cc helium. Leak testing is typically conducted in an "outside-in" or tracer-probe configuration. Helium (gas) bag tests are conducted as needed.

The highest standards of quality control inform every aspect of our operational practices. We welcome customer audits. Dimensional checks are confirmed with a computer controlled coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Material and CMM certifications can be provided upon request.
