Titanium getter with 20mm height for ultra-high vacuum environments
The high-performance titanium getter from TOPTITECH is engineered through a proprietary process of mold pressing and high-temperature vacuum sintering, utilizing premium GR1 pure titanium powder.
This product features precise geometry with a diameter of 9 mm and a height of 20 mm, and a meticulously controlled internal porous structure with an average pore size of 10 micrometers, providing an immense specific surface area.
Its core function is to serve as an efficient gas sorbent in ultra-high vacuum environments, actively and selectively chemisorbing reactive gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, and methane, while being transparent to noble gases. This action creates and maintains a pure environment containing only the target noble gas species for subsequent analysis or specialized processes.

Features
Exceptional Sorption Performance and Selectivity: Leveraging the high chemical reactivity of GR1 pure titanium and its precise 10-micrometer pore structure, this getter exhibits high sorption capacity and speed for active gases including oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons.
Superior Material and Structural Integrity: Fabricated from aerospace-grade GR1 pure titanium, the getter ensures minimal outgassing and is non-magnetic. The monoblock porous structure formed by high-temperature vacuum sintering offers high mechanical strength, eliminating the risk of dusting or particle shedding that could contaminate sensitive vacuum systems, thereby guaranteeing long-term operational stability.
Precise Geometry and Consistency: Rigorous manufacturing controls guarantee exact dimensions of 9 mm diameter and 20 mm height, along with a highly reproducible micro-porous architecture across all units.
Engineered for Extreme Environments: From raw material to manufacturing, this product is designed for demanding UHV applications. It withstands high-temperature baking (typically up to 400°C) for effective pre-installation surface cleaning and is activated at operational temperatures, demonstrating excellent thermal stability and long service life.
Applications
Noble Gas Analysis and Mass Spectrometry: In noble gas geochemistry, nuclear decommissioning monitoring, or environmental tracer studies, this getter is integrated into gas purification lines to efficiently remove active gas impurities from sample streams.
Ultra-High and Extreme High Vacuum Systems: Within particle accelerators, synchrotron radiation facilities, and surface science experiment stations, it acts as a primary or auxiliary sputter-ion pump, continuously sorbing active gases desorbing from chamber walls or outgassing from materials.
Specialized Research Equipment and Detectors: It is widely used inside equipment that requires a pure noble gas environment, such as noble gas mass spectrometers, high-purity inert gas purifiers, and radiation detectors. By maintaining the purity of the internal gas medium, it safeguards measurement accuracy and ensures long-term detector stability.
Semiconductor and Advanced Manufacturing Processes: In cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication and materials research processes like Molecular Beam Epitaxy, ion implantation, and Atomic Layer Deposition, this getter helps create a process environment free from contamination by active gases.
