Evaluation of Zr-V-Fe getter pump for uhv system

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6611129
The nonevaporable getter pump St707 (Zr-V-Fe) from SAES Getters, Inc. may be activated and operated at lower temperatures. However, its application to a UHV system has not been reported yet. This paper reports the characteristics of the St707 getter strip in a UHV system as a linearly distributed pump. The getter is activated at approx. 400/sup 0/C for 30 min. The pumping behavior of the getter strip for H/sub 2/ and CO is studied. The initial pumping speeds for H/sub 2/ and CO are 300 l/sm and 190 l/sm, respectively; and decrease slowly with increasing gas load to approx. 90 l/sm for H/sub 2/ at approx. 50 Tl/m. Hydrogen equilibrium pressure at higher temperature does follow the Sieverts low and is one decade higher than that stated by SAES Getter, Inc. The application of St707 getter strip to the UHV system of ISABELLE is also discussed.
