MDC established its standing in the vacuumcomponents world after becoming one of the first licensed manufacturers of Varianْs patented Conflat CFflange with a previously used metal gasket and strongly recommends the installation of a new metal gasket every time a flange is fastened.When flange fasteners are tightened to their specified sealing torques a gap will remain between the mating flanges, this is normal and desirable.Tightening the flanges metal-to-metal is not necessary to achieve a UHV hermetic seal.OFE copper,which stands for ٓOxygen FreeElectronic or Electrolytic grade Copper,is the...
