Measurements and Brazing Instructions
The measurements to determine the braze gap and the size of braze wires to be used are made from the "Ring Post Plating Machined," and the "Metallized Ceramic Window." The measurements are recorded in the windowCalc.xls spread sheet. An example is shown below:

The .0327 total gap dimension is composed of the stainless steel to moly gap and the ceramic to stainless steel gap (called the COLD brazeGAP.)
a histogram of some actuals for the ceramic to stainless steel gap:

a histogram of some actuals for the stainless steel to moly gap:

a histogram of the gap total
(the outliers on the low side were early windows that brazed OK, toward the end of the run, they were more nearly .0327)

a histogram of the tolerance range of the gap total

The standard braze rings were qty 2, .050 diameter wires, and some braze paste
