A single access port into an enclosure or process vessel is all that is needed to allow multiple probes, sensors, etc., to pass through an environmental or pressure boundary using a single feedthrough assembly.

Series MF feedthroughs can seal multiple elements within a single assembly including typically up to 40 x 1.0mm dia., up to 12 x 3.0mm dia. or up to 4 x 6.0mm dia. elements. Please refer to the table for further details of feedthrough capacity and sizes of elements.

There are five body sizes which all have a weld neck for permanent installation into the process by welding.

Spectite® feedthroughs are designed for ease of assembly and installation. Elements can be adjusted, removed and replaced when not under pressure or vacuum conditions.

  • Saves time and costs by allowing multiple sensors to pass through one feedthrough fitting
  • Immersion length of each element can be easily adjusted as required
  • Five sizes of feedthrough assembly
  • Designed for carrying multiple elements 0.5mm to 9.53mm diameter
  • Suitable for a mixture of sizes and types of elements
  • Guide pressure range: Vacuum up to 700 bar
  • Temperature range: -200°C to +870°C
  • 316L Stainless steel wetted parts (see Cutaway View)
  • Choice of five sealant materials
  • Reusable fitting (dependant on sealant)
  • Reusable and replaceable internal components
  • ATEX / IECEx Approved versions to Ex II 2 GD, Ex d IIC Gb / Ex e IIC Gb, Ex ta IIIC Da available, please contact us for more details
Standard Body Style ('A' Cap) Threaded Extension ('B' Cap) Flanges
Standard body style suitable for most applications. Allows the gland to be terminated into the process as well as to a terminal head or conduit at the opposite end to the process. For termination to a mating flange within the process, see Optional Flanges for details of the flanges available as standard.

Sealant Material Code Colour Example Operating Temperature Range Re-usable Material definition and properties
Neoprene N Green -40°C to +90°C Yes Synthetic rubber based on polychloroprene. The elastic properties of the polymer are enhanced by vulcanization. It is much more resistant to heat, light, oxidation, and petroleum than ordinary rubber.
Viton® V Brown -40°C to +225°C
(intermittently to +285°C)
Yes

Fluoroelastomer. Resists hydrocarbons, corrosive chemicals and petroleum. Solvent, acid and base resistant. Low permeation rate. Mechanically robust at high temperatures.

PTFE T White -200°C to +250°C Yes Polytetrafluoroethylene. FDA approved grade to Title 21-CFR 17. 1550 and is approved to US Pharmacopoeia Class VI. Has smooth, non-wetting, hydrophobic surfaces that resist biofilm buildup and the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. Low thermal transfer.
Graftite™ G Grey / Black -200°C to +550°C
(to +870°C in a reducing atmosphere)
No Graphite 98% purity. Impermeable to gases and liquids. Resistant to most media, not 'wetted' by molten metals or salts. Asbestos-free. No ageing or embrittlement. Good resistance to thermal shock. Conductive material (not electrically isolated).
Lava L Grey Stone -200°C to +870°C No

Natural Magnesium Silicate (Soapstone, Steatite or Rock Talc). Crushes to a powder when compressed. Hygroscopic. Porous to light gases. Unsuitable for use with liquid media and in most vacuum applications.

Other sealant materials may be specified, usually for the individual special requirements of particular applications. Please contact us for assistance.

  1. The guide pressures shown for each type of sealant are at 20°C. Spectite® feedthroughs from TC Ltd. have been designed to provide an efficient seal on the elements and restrain them from moving under pressure and vacuum. It is good installation practice to provide additional, mechanical restraint to the elements when differential pressure exceeds 50% of the feedthrough guide pressure value at 20°C. With an increase in temperature, a reduction in the maximum guide pressure value can be expected. These ratings are a guide and the suitability of any of the products described herein for a particular application is entirely at the discretion of the purchaser as being the best judge for that particular application.
  2. Other types of process connection are available, see Feedthrough Sizes.
  3. The element diameters shown are the common sizes routinely demanded for general industrial applications. Other sizes can be supplied between the minimum and maximum diameters shown.
Size 1 (1/8" Thread or equivalent) Size 2 (1/4" Thread or equivalent) Size 3 (1/2" Thread or equivalent)

Please note: the overall length will vary slightly depending on the sealant used and the tube size.
