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

Viewport Shutter, Swing Type, 100% Full Coverage, 67mm Aperture, CF100 ID / 152mm OD Flange
SKU: VPS100ST
Some operations in the vacuum system may cause damage to the window. For example, metal evaporation in ultra-high vacuum systems can cause the surface of the window to be coated, making the inner surface of the window a reflective mirror. This results in the need to remove the window and clean the surface before reuse. To overcome this problem, we provide a series of window baffles. We provide lamella shutter and shutter shutters to choose from. Shutter shutters are aimed at large observation ports. The advantage is that the shutter opening movement traces are smooth and the amplitude is small. ...more
