Swagelok O-Ring Face Seal Fittings
O-ring face seal fittings operate on a similar principle to Swagelok VCR metal gasket face seal fittings, but replace the metal gasket with an elastomer O-ring to achieve reliable sealing performance.
Key Differences from Metal Gasket Sealing
The allowable temperature range depends on the O-ring material selected.
O-rings can be replaced and reused, unlike metal gaskets which are single-use.
This helps reduce overall consumption and operating costs compared to metal gasket face seal fittings.
Available O-Ring Face Seal Models
1) Swagelok VCO
Swagelok VCO O-ring face seal fittings are designed for rapid assembly in pipe, tube, and welded systems.
Features:
2) Swagelok Ultra-Torr
Designed specifically for vacuum systems, Ultra-Torr fittings provide reliable O-ring sealing performance.
Features:
If you are selecting an O-ring face seal solution for high-pressure or vacuum applications, proper O-ring material selection is essential to ensure system safety and reliability. For more information about Swagelok VCO Fitting or Ultra Torr Fitting, contact to Swagelok Thailand.
Swagelok O-Ring Seal Fittings
Swagelok VCO® O-Ring Face Seal Fittings
Easy-to-assemble Swagelok VCO® O-ring face seal fittings feature a metal-to-elastomer seal contained entirely in the fitting body that allows for simple, rapid, leak-tight installation in high-purity
Swagelok® Ultra-Torr Vacuum Fittings
Swagelok vacuum fittings and adapters, available in Ultra-Torr straights and tees, are easy to connect and disconnect, saving time and producing repeatable results in vacuum sealing applications
Flexible Sealing Solutions with VCO and Ultra-Torr
Selecting the right fitting solution goes beyond pressure ratings and size compatibility. It involves considering maintenance efficiency, reusability, lifecycle cost, and system reliability.
Swagelok VCO fittings are ideal for applications requiring rapid assembly, compact installation, and reliable sealing performance from high pressure to critical vacuum. Their captive O-ring design enables easy maintenance and repeated assembly without compromising integrity.
Meanwhile, Swagelok Ultra-Torr fittings are specifically engineered for vacuum service. They provide dependable sealing performance and simple installation without special tools, making them well suited for laboratories, research facilities, and clean process environments.
Both solutions leverage the advantages of O-ring sealing, offering replaceability and reduced long-term consumption compared to single-use metal gasket systems. Proper O-ring material selection remains essential to ensure compatibility with temperature, media, and operating conditions.
Ultimately, choosing between VCO and Ultra-Torr is about optimizing system performance, minimizing downtime, and enhancing long-term safety and reliability.
