UHV Flanges and Components: Capabilities Overview
Microwave Techniques produces an array of Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) and Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC) compatible waveguide and coaxial components. Our products are custom-tailored to provide high electrical performance in the Ultra High Vacuum Environment down to 1 x 10-11 Torr. All of these ultra-high vacuum flanges and components are constructed using vacuum rated materials such as OFHC copper, non-magnetic stainless steel (304, 316L, 316LN), and ceramics such as alumina, sapphire and quartz. Our manufacturing process uses advanced welding and vacuum brazing techniques. All UHV products are cleaned, assembled, tested and stored in our ISO Class 5 clean room facility.
