A Reusable, Low-profile, Cryogenic Wire Seal.
We describe the design of a reusable Indium wire seal which has a small profile and is leak tight to better than 1x10(-10) std. cc/sec. from room temperature down to approximately mK. The pressure necessary to deform the Indium wire o-ring is provided by a screw-cap mating to threads on the outside of the cylindrical volume to be sealed.
