Oven and furnace catalog
More than 400 standard ovens are featured in this 100-page, full-color catalog, including all types of laboratory, industrial, and Class 100 cleanroom units for heat-processing applications of any kind. Dozens of standard furnaces with operating temperatures to 2200°F are described in detail, as are custom heat-processing and heat-treating equipment capabilities. Specs detailing workspace dimensions, temperature ranges, airflow circulation diagrams, and optional equipment are also included.

Trace moisture sensor data
The FabSense H2O-3000, a low-cost, in-line trace moisture event sensor for continuous, real-time monitoring of UHP inert gases and nonflammable mixtures of hydrogen, is featured in this product data literature. The sensor provides point-of-use monitoring to critical processes, including PVD, etch, and epitaxy, with rapid response to moisture ingress (i.e., events >20ppb are detected in less than one minute).

Compound compatibility and seal design application guide
The Kalrez Application Guide enables process engineers and equipment designers to optimize seal performance in mechanical seals, pumps, and valves by indicating the best compounds and part designs for their processes. In one section, the user selects the temperature, pressure, and process chemicals used in his application, and the guide supplies ratings for Kalrez perfluoroelastomer compounds. New compounds, Kalrez 6375UP and Kalrez Sahara 8475 and 8575, have been introduced for semiconductor applications. In the other section of the guide, users can design or choose seals for specific dimensions. A downloadable file is available at www.dupont-dow.com/KAG.
