Abstract

Cryogenic vacuum seals are discussed with emphasis on large diameter reusable connections. Both theoretical considerations and experimental results are presented. The main subject is large diameter cryogenic vacuum seals in a horizontal vessel, where thermal distortions are encountered in particular during the cool down stage. We show a large diameter stainless steel flange design that can take large repeatable thermal shocks and maintain a good vacuum seal at liquid helium temperatures.
