Abstract:
A torch and mounting system therefor has a cylindrical main glass tube surrounded by a tough and rigid tube. The metallic tube is threaded at each end for receiving compression nuts, each having a ferrule such as an O-ring or a tapered ring inside. Each ferrule is a slip fit over the main glass tube and has an angled surface that butts against the end of the metallic tube. When the nuts are tightened, the sloped surfaces of the ferrules force the ferrules against the main glass tube, thereby fixing it in place within the metal tube. The metal tube in turn is clamped by a mounting clamp which is, in turn, mounted to an adjustment stage for optimum positioning of the torch. A support rail has adjustably mounted thereon one or more strain relieving clamps for holding gas or vapor delivery tubes in place to insure proper delivery of gases and vapors to the torch.
