Leakproof soft metal seal for use in very high vacuum systems operating at cryogenic temperatures
A connector that will serve as a seal for fluids at cryogenic temperatures and in high vacuums was constructed by installing a metal disk between two sets of mating serrations to form two sealing surfaces. Compression on both sealing surfaces is ensured by spring action of the disk.
