Kimball Physics UHV (Ultra-High Vacuum) Vacuum Chambers are precise, modular, multiport fittings and housings that utilize integrated ConFlatTM (CF) sealing surfaces at each port.
Kimball Physics’ Multi-CFTM UHV fittings are designed as both instrument housings and as vacuum chambers. The chambers are CNC fabricated for high precision and accuracy from a monolith of 316L Stainless Steel. Fabrication from Titanium Alloys and metric threads are also available as an option.
The Spherical Hexagon design is initially based on a hollow sphere with convex external and concave internal surfaces. The primary CF ports are parallel and symmetrically offset from the center, with the secondary ports perpendicular to the primary ports and arranged in a hexagon geometry around the circumference.
