CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride) Regulator

CF4 regulators are specialized devices designed to control the flow and pressure of tetrafluoromethane (CF4) gas. CF4 is a colorless, odorless, and non-flammable gas used in various industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, plasma etching, and as a dielectric in high-voltage circuit breakers.

Key features and considerations for CF4 regulators:

• Material compatibility: CF4 regulators must be constructed from materials that are compatible with the gas, such as stainless steel or brass.
• Pressure regulation: They should be capable of accurately regulating the downstream pressure of CF4 to the desired level, ensuring consistent and controlled flow.
• Flow control: Some regulators may also include flow control features to adjust the rate of gas delivery.
• Safety features: CF4 regulators should incorporate safety features, such as overpressure protection and leak detection mechanisms, to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.
• Compatibility with CF4 cylinders: The regulator must be compatible with the specific type of CF4 cylinder being used, including the cylinder valve and connection fittings.
