Glass Adapters
MDC glass to metal adapters provide a means of attaching glass components to a
metal vacuum system and or metal hardware to a glass system. These glass
adapters are produced with the latest in glass-to-metal seal technology and are
available in either Pyrex® code 7740 or Borosilicate code 7052 glass.
Five glass seal geometries are offered, these include flange to glass with open end, flange
to flange with glass transition, flange to glass with sealed end, flange to glass with
open end and flexible bellows transition and glass to glass with flexible bellows
transition. Most are offered on 1-1/3 to 8 inch Del- Seal™ CF flanges with glass tube from 1/8 to
6 inch diameters. All overall lengths and glass lengths are nominal ±1/8". Products
fitted with Kwik-Flange™ ISO KF flanges are available for tube diameters of 3/4, 1, 1-1/2
and 2 inches.
The flange to glass with open end versions are designed for installation to a flanged
system on one end and to either a quick disconnect elastomer sealed compression
fitting or for fusing directly to a glass tube, apparatus or system. The flange to flange
glass transition versions allow mounting between two flanged systems. They can also
be used as low voltage electrical breaks on vacuum tube lines. Flange to glass adapters
with a sealed glass end can be mounted to a flanged system and provide a bell jar like
glass enclosure that is ideally suited for experiments requiring the transparency of
glass. Flexible glass adapters are fitted with formed bellows and are specifically designed
for joining metal flanged systems or glass tubed systems with misaligned components.
