MDC’s 90° Elbows with Tangents offer a robust and reliable solution for connecting CF flanges of different sizes in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems. These fittings are fabricated from precision-drawn and welded 304 stainless steel vacuum tubing, ensuring strength, leak-tightness, and longevity in demanding environments. Designed with radiussed bends, the elbows minimize flow resistance and improve conductance, while tangent extensions provide added flexibility for welding and system integration.

Rated to 1x10⁻¹³ Torr and capable of operating at temperatures up to 450°C (842°F), these elbows are ideal for high-vacuum and high-temperature applications. The standard matte surface finish enhances vacuum compatibility by reducing surface outgassing and improving cleanliness.

Industry Applications:

MDC’s 90° Elbows with Tangents are designed for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications across critical industries. They are ideal for semiconductor processing, thin film deposition, and plasma etching, offering clean, leak-tight vacuum paths. In research and development, they support surface science, materials analysis, and nanotechnology. Their UHV rating and 450°C temperature tolerance make them suitable for particle accelerators, beamlines, and fusion experiments. These elbows also perform reliably in cryogenics, space simulation, and analytical instruments like mass spectrometers and electron microscopes.
