Custom Engineered Metal Seals
Bostec specializes in solving the most complex UHV sealing problems. Our method is to study the situation either on-site or in our Force Testing Laboratory, determine an appropriate solution based on environmental conditions, temperature cycling, mating materials, comparative CTEs and so forth. That generally leads to production of a small number of prototypes which are then laboratory and field tested for final iterations. Production volumes are then manufactured.

Advantages
- Small footprint
- Low force
- Small dead volume
Exotic Materials
Wide range of materials to match flange and gasket CTEs for high temp baking.
Force Testing
Force testing eliminates guess work with prototypes and is often a necessary component
Extensive Product Scope: In developing a custom engineered solution, we draw from the four basic categories of metal seals we manufacture and utilize a range of exotic and special metals ideal for extreme UHV. Our seals types all derive from H-Seals, which we developed and patented in the late 1990’s. We continue to refine H-Seal technology and have many variations, which are proprietary.
