## Description

Vacuum Seals/Spring Energized Seals The ITER vacuum system requires non-standard vacuum flanges for interface boundaries. For Safety Important Components (SIC), ITER style flanges are required. These flanges contain two seals and a sampling/monitoring port between the seals to allow for active monitoring of the seal interspace.

For Non-SIC systems, standard mating profile ISO and Con-Flat (CF) type flanges are used, however, as the code of construction for the ITER machine is ASME B31.3 and requires at a minimum schedule 40S pipe, the standard tube-based fittings/weld stubs cannot be used. Instead, a single machined piece, flange face and weld stub, is required, along with these commercially available spring energized metallic seals.

The scope consists of the manufacture, preparation of required documentation packages, packaging, and preparation for delivery to the ITER site near Cadarache, France. The seals covered under this SOW are expected to be a commercially available solution.(see Part #s above). Place of performance would be seller's facility.
