Nickel Gas Cell for WF₆ Applications

The following gas cell is configured for a specific application for measuring impurities such as HF, CF₄, and OF₂ in pure WF₆.  This cell is constructed of nickel rather than nickel coated aluminium or 316 stainless steel.  The pathlength is 10 meters with a volume of 2 liters. The windows are CaF2 instead of more standard KBr or ZnSe windows.  The gas inlet/outlet lines are  connected to the gas cell using welded stainless steel 1/4” VCR fittings. The cell can be installed either vertically or horizontally.  The price for this custom cell is $17,400.00.

The price for pyrex glass construction and KBr windows is available call for pricing.

The price for a nickel coated aluminum construction is $9,600.00

The price for stainless steel construction is $14,400.00

 Call FTIR (603 886-5555) or e-mail (afuller@ftir.com) for configuration and pricing for variable pathlength versions of these and other cells.
