Metal C-ring seal HTMS High Tech Metal Seals

General Information
HTMS Metal- C-Ring seals are made from high temperature alloy strip. The strip is cut to the required length and tig welded. The C-shape is then formed in a tool or is roll formed for bigger sizes. HTMS Metal C Rings are a logical development over our popular Metal O Ring. Metal C Rings have a better spring back then same size Metal O Rings. The seating load or the required bolting force is lower than for similar sized Metal O Rings. HTMS Metal C Rings will compensate greater flange rotation and maintain positive sealing load, better than Metal O Rings.
For sealing thin gas or low viscosity fluids, HTMS recommend to soft plate the bare metal seal with such materials as silver, gold or tin. Also PTFE as a coating is available.
For extreme low leakage requirements at elevated temperatures HTMS also produces spring energized metal C Rings. This “CS” design is basically a metal C Ring with an inserted high tensile spring.
