SEALING CONCEPT
O-FLEX™ Metal O-Rings are designed to provide a sealing option
for high pressure/temperature applications that require minimal
spring back. The O-FLEX™ is made from high strength metal tubing that is coiled, cut and welded to size. It is available in standard
cross section increments of 1/32”. The O-FLEX™ seating load can be
adjusted to the application by varying the cross section and tubing
wall thickness. Typical applications include Performance Engines,
Plastic Extrusion/Molding, Military Specifications, Aerospace and
Chemical Processing
O-FLEX™ TYPES
Basic
The basic O-FLEX™ is designed for low to moderate pressure
applications as high pressure may collapse the exposed tubing
wall.
Self Energizing
The Self-Energizing O-FLEX™ is designed for high pressure applications. Small holes are drilled in the tubing wall exposed to
the system pressure. These holes create an energizing effect
by allowing the pressure to enter the O-FLEX™. As a result, the
pressure inside the seal increases with the system pressure and
minimizes the possibility of collapsing the exposed tubing wall.
Pressure Filled
The Pressure Filled O-FLEX™ is designed for Performance Engine
applications that require sealing at elevated pressure and temperature in a high cycling environment. The O-FLEX™ is filled with
an inert gas that increases in pressure proportional to increases
in system temperature. This results in an energizing effect that
partially offsets the loss of material strength in service.
