my friends. |

Ribbon Burner | ||||||||||||||||||

This is a very low vapor pressure epoxy that is suitable for use in medium and the low end of high vacuum systems. Varian sells this same product private-labeled as "Torr-seal" for about $60 a tube set. Epoxi-Patch sells for about $6. | ||||||||||||||||||
This is a photo of the adapter that I made to go from my diffusion pump flange mount to my metal manifold. The stainless steel to copper joint is the above-mentioned Epoxi-Patch. I chemically polished the inside of the copper fittings to speed outgasing. | ||||||||||||||||||
