Some guidelines for the mechanical design of coaxial compression pin seals

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5409340

In this report, the design considerations for a coaxial compression glass-to-metal pin seal with a particular material combination are investigated. The materials chosen for this study are an Alloy 52 conductor pin, Corning 9010 or kimble TM-9 glass insulator, and 304 stainless steel housing. The results of this investigation are presented in the form of guidelines to be used by design engineers. The design guidelines coupled with manufacturing guidelines should, when followed, yield a mechanically optimum glass-to-metal coaxial compression pin seal.
