Metal O-ring seal HTMS High Tech Metal Seals
General Information
HTMS Metal- O-Ring seals are made from high precision metal tube. Contrary to flat gaskets, HTMS Metal-O- Rings require extreme low bolting load. Because they feature a certain resiliency or spring back, HTMS Metal O Rings will compensate minor flange rotation and maintain positive sealing load to the sealing surface.
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.
HTMS Metal O Rings are made for internal or external pressure. For high pressure application HTMS advises vented or system pressure assisted Metal O Rings.
For extreme low leakage requirements at elevated temperatures HTMS also produces spring energized metal O Rings. This “OS” design is basically a metal O Ring with an inserted high tensile spring.
