UHV MicroFlanges - UHV Metric Flanges

Introduction

Sealing technique

UHV Design has developed a completely new range of miniature flanges to take advantage of the smaller sizes of standard metric tubes. These are not intended to compete with standard US/imperial CF flanges but actually compliment the range adding a new level of flexibility for system designers, as shown below.

The method of sealing employs a trapped copper gasket between two sharp knife edged flanges. An array of metric bolts apply the required torque to ensure the correct bite pattern for UHV sealing. All the MicroFlange’s accept metric washers (unlike the existing metric Mini Flange), which is essential for reliable bolting.  All flanges are manufactured from 316L stainless steel.

MicroFlange series

A key benefit of the MicroFlange series is the capacity to feed system services within reduced space constraints.  The smallest MicroFlange fits within the largest in the series, providing an excellent solution for water and LN2 cooling assemblies.  In addition to this, a radical range of components terminating with the CF10 MicroFlange is also available, such as the..
