PRINCIPLE



 The sealing face is the flat cylindrical surface at the end of the RHP gland
The "Protection Ring" in no way aids in the sealing but serves as a protection to the sealing face. The ring is thicker by 0.05mm in order to avoid surface scratching.

The "Protection Ring" is also slightly larger in its diameter in order to assure proper end-to-end alignment and to avoid metal-to-metal contact with the centering ring thus reducing particle generation.

principle
principle During assembly the two glands are positioned face to face and the "Centering Ring" is slid into position assuring the perfect alignment of the fluid lines.

Finally, the two half clamps are positioned and during tightening, the PTFE protection will be compressed and the sealing faces brought into contact assuring a perfect seal.

In this way the "Metal to Metal" seal is obtained.
