Technology

Glass to Metal
We use metal and glass materials to manufacture matched or compression seals. The system depends on the thermal expansion of the selected materials. The metal pins work as conductors, and glass as an insulator.
Sealing
Heat treatment with different heating profiles and atmospheres is a key manufacturing step for our products.
Plating
Benestad has several in house plating lines used to coat products to protect pin materials before soldering or used as connectors.
Physical Vapor Deposition
We operate a thin film laboratory where we coat our own products utilizing physical vapor deposition.

Pressure
Pressure and helium leak tests are performed on most of our products to ensure the required integrity, as standard manufacturing tests or FAT. We have capacity to test up to 3000 bar.
Soldering
Where required Benestad can solder and hence integrate cables, cable harnesses and PWA cards onto our penetrator systems.
High Voltage Laboratory
Benestad has a brand new High Voltage test facility for test and manufacture of High Voltage systems.
ESS Testing and Assembly
We can implement our products in a variety of assemblies, and have the capability to perform a variety of electrical and environmental tests.

Glass-to-metal sealing

We specialize in a glass-to-metal sealing technology used to protect electronic systems at large depths and in extreme temperatures. Our technology guarantees hermetical seals as well as pressure and temperature barriers in vacuum or up to pressures of 14 000 bar/200 000 psi and temperatures from -100 to 650° C / -140 to 1 200° F.

We use metal and glass materials to manufacture matched or compression seals. The system depends on the thermal expansion of the selected materials. The metal pins work as conductors, and glass as an insulator.

We specialize in sealing glass and ceramics to titanium for products used in a growing number of applications in the oil industry, the renewables sector and in aerospace.

Physical vapro deposition

We also operate a thin film laboratory where we primarily add thin resistance bridges and protective layers for ignitor components.

Power systems

As part of our new developments, we have established a high voltage laboratory for testing and manufacturing of high voltage penetrators and connectors
