Subject: Re: [VacuumX] ionization gauge fittings


Ahhhhh, I see, thank you for the explanation. So if I wanted to connect such a gauge to a port that has a KF flange, there would be an adapter with a KF flange on one end and one of these compression fittings on the other?

Separately, I am hoping to do some evacuation of glassware, etc using this system eventually; are these types of compression fittings what I'd use for that as well, to temporarily connect glass tubing, evacuate, and then seal off?

Thanks,
-Dave

Dave,

There are compression fittings that tighten onto the metal (or glass) sidearm tube and seal it with an O-ring; an example is the Kurt Lesker B-110-K but *everybody* makes them, including versions that have flanges on the other end for joining the adapter to the system.

The tube on your ion gauge is made of Kovar so that it may be soldered directly, if desired.

Ok, more dumb questions. :) I have a new ionization gauge tube here that I would like to use, if possible, in the system I am constructing.
Its connection is a metal tube around 1" in diameter. I see many on the market like this, and many with just glass.

How are these generally connected to systems, is there a type of fitting that somehow attaches to that metal tube?

Thanks,
-Dave
