3
Bring the two flanges together making sure that the gasket fits in the recess in
both flanges. Flange faces should be parallel. If the gasket is properly seated, it
should not be possible to slide the two flanges laterally with respect to each other.
4
Install supplied silver-coated stainless steel bolts in the bolt holes of the flanges
and finger-tighten.
NOTE:
If the factory-supplied silver-coated stainless steel hardware is not
used and the flanges are going to be baked, coat the bolt threads with
an anti-seize compound (FelPro
®
C 100 or equivalent).
CAUTION
Do not get any of the anti-seize compound on the gaskets
or vacuum parts of the flange.
5
After the bolts have been finger-tightened and the flange faces are parallel,
tighten the bolts gradually and evenly in a star pattern until the flange faces are
brought into even contact with each other.
1.16.1.2 Attaching the Sensor to the Vacuum Chamber
The sensor may be mounted in any position when attaching it to the vacuum vessel
or chamber.
CAUTION
Avoid mounting the sensor near any magnetic fields
greater than two gauss.
It is important that the connection between the sensor
and the vacuum chamber does not interfere with gas
exchange to ensure that the gas composition accurately
reflects that existing in the vacuum chamber.
If materials are evaporated or coatings are deposited in
the vacuum chamber, the sensor must be protected
against the deposition of these materials on its surfaces
by installing a baffle or deflector.
In systems which are baked, include the sensor in the
bakeout zone or provide it with separate heaters.
