Processing chamber & Sealing Flange

• Stainless steel vacuum sealed chamber: 260 x 230 × 320 mm (OD × ID × L).

• Flanges on both ends of the chamber. Flanges have a tunnel for cooling water.

• Equipped with a KF-25D vacuum port, pressure gauge, 1/4" gas inlet port with the stainless steel needle valve.

• The upper flange can be lifted by raising the lead screw which provides the easy access to retrieve the graphite die.

• Requires at least 55 liters per minute water flow.

• Vacuum level: up to 10-5 Torr by our molecular pumping station ( turbo pumping system pump) or 7.5 mTorr by a mechanical pump. 10-7 torr turbopump system is available upon request

• Vacuum pumped is not included.

High-Temperature Graphite Pressing Die Set 

• Two built-in graphite supporting rods with Max pressure 50 Mpa

• One set of 0.5" (inner diameter) graphite die are included for immediate use.

• Made of high purity graphite by HIP processing, Max. Load from the hydraulic press is dependent on die's ID

• 0.5"ID: Max. 0.5T (sample pressure 50 Mpa )

• 1.0 ID: Max. 3T (sample pressure 50 Mpa, which is optional)

• The graphite pressing die is fragile and consumable. We also provide customized die sets upon customer request at extra cost.

• Mica spacers are used to adjust the height of die sets and insulate heat. You can order spares at CYKY.

• Note: The maximum pressure range of graphite dies will vary depending on the inner diameter of the die. For example, the graphite dies with an inner diameter of 0.5" can withstand 0.6 metric tons. For the graphite die with an inner diameter of 1" can withstand 3 metric tons.

• If use high-quality SiC dies, the pressure can reach 100 MPa.

Application Notes

Attention: the gas cylinder must have a two-stage pressure regulator to limit the pressure below 3 psi for safe operation.
