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 options.
The Spherical Octagon 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 an octagonal geometry around the circumference. In the Extended Spherical Octagon design, the structure is enlarged to enable space between the ports for additional smaller CF ports.
