MDC Wire Seal Flanges provide a convenient method of metal-sealing relatively large diameter vacuum chambers. These metal seal flanges pick up where the Del-Seal™ CF flanges Del-Seal™ CF metal seal flanges leave off.
Applications include bell jars, vacuum furnaces, and a variety of other ultrahigh vacuum enclosures. All MDC Wire Seal Flanges are made of 304ss material. To make the seal, an .080″ cross-section diameter OFE copper wire gasket is compressed between mating male and female flanges. The geometry of the beveled sealing surface confines the flow of the crushed gasket material, causing it to fill in minor nicks and scratches in the seal area. These flanges can also be used with elastomer gaskets.
