Abstract
A conduit assembly includes a dielectric tube having a first end and a second end, a first metal tube including a first flange coupled to the first end of the inner dielectric tube, the first flange including relief openings, a first dielectric ring coupled to the first flange, a second metal tube including a second flange coupled to the second end of the inner dielectric tube, the second flange including relief openings, and a second dielectric ring coupled to the second flange.
Claims20
A method of making a conduit assembly, comprising:
- brazing a first end of a dielectric tube to a first surface of a first flange of a first metal tube;
- brazing a first dielectric ring to a second surface of the first flange;
- brazing a second end of the dielectric tube to a first surface of a second flange of a second metal tube;
- and
- brazing a second dielectric ring to a second surface of the second flange,
- wherein the brazing comprises forming ceramic-to-ceramic bonding points between the dielectric tube and the respective first and second dielectric rings through relief slots formed in the respective first and second flanges.
