CA 2224259

A glass-to-metal hermetic seal device which is particularly adapted for application in high pressure and other hostile environments for suppressing or dissipating electrostatic energy incorporating an improved glass-to-metal hermetic seal. The interior of the device incorporates and creates an in-situ gas-filled electrical discharge tube. The gas is an ionizable gas and may conveniently comprise a mixture of nitrogen and Argon, although other ionizable gases such as Xenon may be used. The devices of the present invention utilize one or more electrodes which enter the gas-filled chamber, and when the electrical field of sufficiently high potential is created within the gas-filled chamber, the gas ionizes and becomes conductive so as to effectively dissipate the field.

Dispositif à joint hermétique verre-métal amélioré particulièrement adapté aux utilisations à haute pression et dans d'autres environnements hostiles, afin de supprimer ou de dissiper l'énergie électrostatique. L'intérieur du dispositif intègre et constitue sur place un tube à décharge électrique rempli de gaz. Il s'agit d'un gaz ionisable pouvant, sans inconvénient, contenir un mélange d'azote et d'argon, bien que d'autres gaz ionisables comme le xénon puissent être utilisés. Les dispositifs de la présente invention font appel à une ou plusieurs électrodes qui pénètrent dans la chambre remplie de gaz, et lorsqu'un champ électrique de potentiel suffisamment élevé est créé dans la chambre remplie de gaz, le gaz est ionisé et devient conductif de manière à dissiper efficacement le champ.
