Physical and Flexural Strength- At 25ºC compressive strength is 305,000 psi and flexural strength is 51,000 psi
Terminal Strength- Can withstand forces up to 9000 psi without affecting hermeticity
Mechanical Shock and Vibration- Repeated shocks in excess of 1000g’s and swept frequency vibration from 5000 to 2000 cycles at 60g’s have produced no evidence of seal deteriation
Chemical Stability/Temperature Range- Ceramic seals operate from +600ºC to -270ºC, and ceramic insulators cannot absorb water and are more chemically inert than glass or quartz
Insulation Resistance- Ceramic offers superior insulation capabilities over glass, such as higher resistance and less loss under voltage
Thermal Characteristics- Ceramic-to-metal sealed products operate in temperatures ranging from +600ºC to -270ºC without any loss in hermeticity
Insulation Resistance- Ceramic insulators are nonporous, nonhydroscopic, and exhibit superior insulation resistance and less loss under high voltage than glass
