Product Advantages We have accumulated more than 50 years of experience and leading engineering know-how, to carry out customer-specific development of safety-related cable and thermocouple penetrations. In addition, our penetrations are fully maintenance-free ("fit and forget"). Applications Our hermetically sealed penetrations are well-suited for special applications, which secure the energy supply in compressors and pumps for fermentation gas, methane or other critical gases. Technology The glass preform, metal shell and conductor pins or tubes for thermo-couples, made of nickel-iron alloy, are assembled on a fixture. The complete assembly is heated to a temperature where the glass becomes free-flowing and fills all the gaps between the metal parts. During the cooling process, the glass solidifies at its set point. Upon further cooling, the outer metal housing shrinks more than the glass seal (due to its higher coefficient of thermal expansion), leading to a compressive radial force onto the glass body. This leads to an increased hermeticity and tightness even under high temperature or gas pressure. The nickel-iron conductor pins are plated with a gold or silver finish. Features / Specifications
Forms of Supply and Product Packaging We can deliver products in accordance to customers’ dimensional requirements. Upon request, we can also deliver sockets and o-rings. Our products are delivered in dust-safe, moisture-safe, impact-proof transportation boxes. Quality Assurance During testing, we determine the quality by testing the penetrations at:
