(Only included in the glovebox version)

• 5 KF40 spare ports are required. 
• Two high-current electric feedthroughs (Click the pic on the left)
• Two fluid feedthrough
• One multi-pin electric feedthrough

Water Chiller (Optional)

• Water cooling is required but not included. 
• Please check out our EQ-KJ5000 recirculation water chiller
• Water tubing for KJ5000: 12mm O.D x 8mm I.D

Vacuum casting (optional)

• The water-cooled casting mold by vacuum suction is available upon request at the extra cost
• The casting mold is made of copper and only can be located underneath one of the cavity
• The standard casting mold is for the rod of 6 mm dia x 50 mm L. Other size rods (3-5 mm) are available
• The casting mold kit includes all necessary components as the picture below for immediate use
• 

• For the product option of ambient condition, a few additional parts will be added. 
• Valves and fittings for gas inlet and outlet.
• Stainless steel protection box with eye protection cover. 
• Vacuum valve and fittings
• Feedthroughs will be removed. 

• The vacuum pump is optional and the vacuum level is dependent on the vacuum pump used:
• 10^-3 torr via a mechanical/roughing pump. (Roughing Pumps) 
• 10^-5 torr via a turbopump. We recommend our Turbomolecular Pumping Station for the best performance 

• High-purity inert gas with at least 5N purity (> 99.999%) is required (not included)
• 5% Hydrogen + 95% Argon gas may be used to prevent oxidation during the melting process.
