CF Fittings


CF Vacuum Fittings on this site comply with the ISO 3669 standard and CF Vacuum Fittings up to NW200 are compatible with ConFlat flanges and CF flanges from other leading manufacturers.

While there is no general standard for CF flanges NW250 and over, essentially two “standards” have come into use, one Anglo-American and one European, both of which are available in our product line. Other standards are also used by some other manufacturers and in use at some research centres.

Due to UHV bakeability requirements, sealing of the CF flanges is provided by use of Oxygen-free copper (OFHC) flat gasket rings which usually can only be used once due to deformation. The tightening pressure is exerted by through-bore screws that have to be tightened uniformly and crosswise to avoid excessive strain.

  • Material: 304L stainless steel as standard, 316L and other materials can be supplied upon request
  • Bakeable to 450°C
  • Vacuum rating 1×10-11mbar
  • Wide ranges of elbows, crosses, tees and adaptors are available
  • Tubulated flanges are available for welding to stainless steel tube
52-80 Edge Welded Bellows - I.D:16 O.D:28 Stroke:28
SKU: 320022
Concept Vacuum supply CF flanged edge-welded bellows for high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum systems using 316L stainless steel bellows and 304L stainless steel CF flanges. Edge-welded bellows provide a compact, highly flexible solution where movement, alignment adjustment, vibration isolation or thermal expansion compensation is required. Unlike hydraulically formed metal hoses, edge-welded bellows allow for greater axial flexibility and naturally return towards their free length when not under vacuum, typically settling between their compressed and extended lengths. Supplied with CF flanges, these assemblies are compatible with the most widely used connection system UHV equipment, including gauges, instruments, accessories, and feedthroughs. ...more
