In Response To: Re: Grounding Electrodes (SVP Neon Equipment)

There was no observed stress on the parts since I can completely relax the clamping assemblies without any change on the seal. Transco provides a light duty, 3-screw clamp made of acrylic pieces instead of the standard KF clamp that would be used on metal KF parts.

This provides more than enough pressure on the glass faces to maintain a seal in the vacuum range we work in.

A normal KF situation of course would specify a torqued clamp that would withstand high pressure or vacuum ranges that would exceed the range we work with.
