Edwards Nitrile Centring Ring Aluminum DN 25 ISO-KF NW25 Lot of 4 Seals
Edwards DN 25 ISO-KF Centering Ring (C10514398) – Aluminum with Nitrile O-Ring, Lot of 4
The Edwards C10514398 is a critical sealing component designed to align and seal two NW25 (KF25) vacuum flanges. This assembly consists of a high-quality aluminum centering ring that provides structural support and a Nitrile (Buna-N) O-ring that creates the vacuum-tight interface. Engineered for general-purpose vacuum applications, these seals ensure a reliable "metal-to-metal" stop to prevent O-ring over-compression, maintaining system integrity in primary and high-vacuum lines.
Technical Performance & Design
- Precision Aluminum Carrier: The centering ring is machined from high-grade aluminum to ensure perfect concentricity and prevent lateral shifting of the seal during clamp tightening.
- Nitrile (Buna-N) Elastomer: Features a Nitrile O-ring known for excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, water, and many alcohols, making it the standard choice for "roughing" vacuum systems.
- Trapped O-Ring Geometry: The ring design "traps" the elastomer, preventing it from being drawn into the vacuum chamber under high-pressure differentials or pump-down cycles.
- ISO-KF Standard Compatibility: Fully compliant with ISO 2861 dimensions, ensuring a universal fit with all NW25/KF25 flanges from various vacuum hardware manufacturers.
