METAL GASKETS FOR THE BERKELEY 88-INCH CYCLOTRON
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4783428
The Berkeley 88-in. cyclotron uses metal gaskets in a number of places where rubber would normally be used, because rubber probably would fail as a result of radiation damage. There are several large openings sealed with metal gaskets. Steel serrations biting into Cu make the seal between the magnet pole and the main vacuum tank. One of these seals has failed. Tin-plated Fe wire is used extensively as the gasket material. By sanding with 120-grit paper a suitable surface finish for sealing is provided. Metal gaskets work best when they are used between very rigid components. Care must be taken to place and hold the wire in the desired place while making a seal. (auth)
