ULTRA HIGH PURITY & ULTRA HIGH VACUUM SEALS Advanced metal sealing solutions for critical UHP/UHV & cryogenic applications

Today's sealing requirements for Ultra-High Purity and ULtra-Hic • ULtra-Low Leak Rates (< 1x10-13 atm.cm3.s-1 He) • Low Outgassing • Cryogenic Temperatures(< 1.8° K) • Long Life Expectancy • Chemical Compatibility • Aluminum Flanges Through extensive research, Technetics Group, in conjuction wi of high performance metaL seals to solve these demanding app Vacuum are more demanding than ever before: • Odd Shapes & Sizes • High Temperature Bake Out • Radiation Resistance • Remote Handling Capability • Quartz & Ceramic Flanges • Reduced Load the French Atomic Energy Commission, has deveLoped...

The sealing principle of the HELICOFLEX® family of seals is based upon the plastic deformation of a jacket that has greater ductility than the flange materials. This occurs between the sealing face of a flange and an elastic core composed of a close-wound helical spring. The spring is selected to have a specific compression resistance. During compression, the resulting specific pressure forces the jacket to yield and ensures positive contact with the flange sealing faces. Each coil of the helical spring acts independently and allows the seal to conform to irregularities on the flange surface....

HELICOFLEX® DELTA A SEAL JACKET SEAL DESIGN INFORMATION Other materials are available on request: Stainless Steel, Inconel, Tantalum, Gold, etc. Note: Minimum temperature is 1.8K/-272°C. Maximum temperatures shown in the tables only relate to the characteristics of the seal and are to be checked for every type of fluid. In specific applications, the HELICOFLEX® DELTA can be used with a seating load as low as 80 N/mm (450 lb/in).

SHAPED SEALS Groove Design: Contact our engineering staff for assistance in designing non-circular grooves. Groove Finish: Most UHP/UHV applications will require a finish of <16 RMS (<0.4 Ra pm). All machining & polishing marks must follow seal circumference. Min. Seal Radius: The minimum seal bending radius is six times the seal cross section (CS). Seating Load: The load (Y2) to seat the seal is approximately 30% higher due to a slightly stiffer spring design. 90, rue de la Roche du Geai CS 52913 42029 Saint Etienne cedex 1 FRANCE liachnebcs [email protected] technetics.com GROUP EnPro Industries...

COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION CYCLE The compression and decompression cycle of the HELICOFLEX® seal is characterized by gradual flattening of the compression curve.The decompression curve is distinct from the compression curve as the result of a hysteresis phenomenon to which is added a permanent dual deformation (spring deformation and lining creep).
