CF line: metal seal for ultra-vacuum applications
The CF line, conforming to ISO 3669-2, includes a wide range of ultravacuum items, with nominal diameters from 16 mm to 350 mm, fully compatible with CONFLAT® flanges.
The metal seal is achieved by a flat copper gasket placed between the teeth of a pair of stainless steel flanges. The pressure exerted by the edges of the flanges causes a controlled radial deformation of the gasket, which is blocked by the vertical edges, thus ensuring a stable and strong fit.
This system provides excellent vacuum sealing down to 10-¹² mbar, even at high temperatures up to 450°C, making it ideal for extreme applications and high-purity environments.
