Whiffletree device for closure of flanged connections

The sealing of flanges is usually accomplished with a clamping force provided by multiple individual fasteners. In order to get a good seal, the individual fasteners must be tightened uniformly. This can be a sensitive and time-consuming process requiring high levels of workmanship, particularly for Ultra-High-Vacuum (UHV) and large flanges. When multiple...

Particle Safe Vacuum Cart

Fermilab builds superconducting radiofrequency accelerators that require ultra-clean, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems. In order to protect these systems from irreparable damage, the various components must be cleaned, assembled, and installed using particle-free practices and leak-checked to a very high sensitivity. The Fermilab Particle Safe Vacuum...
