■ Precautions concerning design and selection
● Finish of groove ・ For sealing gas or vacuum: 0.8μm Ra max. ・ In other cases: 1.6μm Ra max. ● A metal O-seal can only be made from 321 stainless steel or Inconel 600. ● The surface treatment thickness is between 0.03 and 0.05mm. For sealing a gas, vacuum or volatile fluid, surface treatment is necessary. ■ Precautions for use To calculate the actual tightening load, add the load (Wa) of the end force part due to fluid pressure to the load (Wb) calculated from the compression load (Y). The compression load indicates the necessary load for applying the correct tightening force. ● Calculation of tightening force W = Wa + Wb = (π/4)×G×G×P + π×G×Y W : Total bolt load [N] G : Gasket O.D. [mm] P : Pressure [MPa] Y : Compression load [N/mm] |
