Nor-Cal Products offers a complete line of viewports for vacuum chambers with NW, ISO and CF flanges. (read more)

Our coating instrumentation products support one of the more popular methods of thin film measurement and rate control -- the crystal monitor, which utilizes the piezoelectric properties of a quartz crystal. (read more)

Nor-Cal's extensive line of electrical feedthroughs are manufactured from ultra-high vacuum grade materials such as high alumina ceramic insulators, OFHC® copper and nickel conductors, and 304 stainless steel flanges.

Nor-Cal's product line of liquid and liquid nitrogen feedthroughs includes the most commonly required for general, high and ultrahigh vacuum applications. (read more)

Nor-Cal's series of metal seal angle valves are intended for use in UHV or cryogenic applications where temperature extremes preclude the use of our elastomer seal valves. Approved for use in beamline facilities, these valves have a temperature operating range from 400°C to -250°C. (read more)

Since 1962 we have been improving our designs and expanding our product line in order to offer the vacuum industry stainless steel valves for almost every application. Our valves provide outstanding performance in the most demanding applications such as semiconductor and compound semiconductor processing. (read more)

Ball valves are a low cost, manually operated, straight through isolation device. Their simple, robust design provides high reliability in "dirty" applications. (read more)

Our manual butterfly valves provide a low-cost alternative to bellows sealed gate valves. (read more)

Stainless Steel Tubing - 02.9 304 & 316L (read more)

Nor-Cal stainless steel gate valves share with our poppet valves the innovative design, highest grade materials and superior workmanship that has made us a major supplier of valves to the vacuum industry. The estimated service interval on these valves is 100,000 cycles, depending on the application. (read more)

These traps remove particles that might enter the mechanical pump and contaminate the oil. A polyester felt filter traps particles over 10 microns in size at 98% efficiency. Filters can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Suitable for process temperatures from ambient to 149ºC. (read more)

Water cooled traps protect mechanical pumps and other downstream components from condensable process gasses and their by-products. They can extend or eliminate preventative maintenance intervals and pump overhauls. (read more)

Nor-Cal Products has manufactured stainless steel weld fittings for nearly forty years. We worked with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the 60's to develop their specification for vacuum piping, which has become the standard in the industry. (read more)

Since 1962, Nor-Cal Products has been improving our valve designs and expanding our product line in order to offer valves for almost every vacuum application. JV series valves are designed to meet the demanding high-cycle requirements of semiconductor equipment manufacturers, yet offer the researcher a cost effective solution for UHV system roughing. (read more)

Nor-Cal Products has earned a reputation as a world-class manufacturer of high and ultra-high vacuum chambers. Quality, appearance and performance of our chambers are unequaled. We supply one-off chambers designed from customer specifications for university or national laboratory research projects, as well as production quantity chambers that are built-to-print for equipment manufacturers.

Nor-Cal Products' pneumatically actuated isolation pendulum valves contain the same patented Penduroll™ mechanism that is found in the Intellisys™ throttling pendulum valves. These valves offer the user a compact and low cost alternative to competitive designs. In addition, the smooth actuation results in low particle generation and rapid open-to-close speeds. (read more)

The Intellisys Adaptive Pressure Controller (APC) provides advanced control system performance by combining closed loop motor control with adaptive pressure control. (read more)

The Intellisys throttling butterfly valve's micro-stepped, direct-drive motor eliminates belts, gears and limit switches, extending MTBF while reducing the complexity and size of the drive assembly. High-torque gear drives are also available in all sizes as an option. All wetted parts are made from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. (read more)

Intellisys throttling pendulum valves provide equipment manufacturers with unmatched pressure control performance and low particle generation. (read more)
