LHE CRYOSTATS WITH HEAD FLANGE
LHe Glass Cryostats With Head Flange
LHe bath cryostats (Dewar flasks) are made from
DURAN borosilicate glass 3.3 in compliance with
DIN/ISO 3585 and have been designed for the use
of liquid helium.
Glass cryostats must be designed
so that they can be re-evacuated, as DURAN
borosilicate glass 3.3 is not helium-tight. The
standard vacuum connection used is an NW25
glass flange with clamp and O-ring, which makes it
possible to establish the connection to the vacuum
pump using small flange components made from
metal. Upon request, a vacuum glass tap or a
glued-on metal flange can be delivered as a pump
flange. The top flange of the cryostats is a Schott
flange with an O-ring groove.
The helium cryostats
are only made to order. Changes as to the
dimensions, connections or volumes can usually
be made at no extra charge. The LHe cryostats
listed in the table correspond to the most common
dimensions and volumes. The standard LHe
cryostats come with opposing viewing strips. The
cryostats can also be delivered with one viewing
strip or fully silvered.
