Hermeticity-Maximum leak rate is 1 X 10-9cc helium/second
Terminal Strength- Can withstand forces up to 9000 psi without affecting hermeticity
Thermal Characteristics- Have been submersed in liquids maintained at 100ºC, removed and immediately immersed in an alcohol bath at -65ºC with no evidence of seal deteriation or loss of hermeticity
Operating Temperature- Operate from +600ºC to -270ºC
Chemical Stability- More chemically inert than glass or quartz and do not absorb water
Physical and Flexural Strength- At 25ºC compressive strength is 305,000 psi and flexural strength is 51,000 psi
Installation Methods- Suitable for brazing, soldering, resistance welding or high energy beam welding into various structures and electronic packages
