Product Overview
This Puratronic™ copper slug delivers 99.9999% purity (metals basis), making it ideal for applications demanding ultra-low impurity levels. Each slug measures 6.35mm (0.25in) in diameter and 12.7mm (0.50in) in length, providing a standardized form factor for consistent experimental results. The material’s exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity ensures reliable performance in sensitive laboratory environments. Manufactured under stringent quality controls, these copper slugs maintain tight dimensional tolerances and surface finish, minimizing variability in research applications. The high-purity composition eliminates trace contaminants that could interfere with analytical processes or material characterization. Available in 25g and 100g pack sizes, this product offers flexibility for both small-scale testing and larger experimental batches. The Puratronic™ grade certification guarantees traceability and reproducibility, meeting the exacting standards of advanced research facilities.
FAQs
1. What is the actual copper content percentage in these slugs?
These slugs contain 99.9999% copper on a metals basis, with all other elements present at less than 1 ppm combined.
2. Are these slugs suitable for vacuum chamber applications?
The ultra-low impurity levels and high purity make them excellent for vacuum environments where outgassing must be minimized.
3. How does the Puratronic™ grade differ from standard copper?
Puratronic™ represents the highest commercial purity available, with total metallic impurities below 1 ppm, compared to standard grades that may contain 10-100x more impurities.
4. What’s the typical surface finish of these slugs?
The slugs feature a smooth, machined surface finish with Ra values typically below 0.8 micrometers for consistent performance.
5. Can these be used for electrical conductivity testing?
The 99.9999% purity ensures maximum electrical conductivity (101% IACS minimum), making them ideal for conductivity reference standards.
