Ebara KF flanges are designed to ISO 2681 specifications for standard USA tube sizes from 3/8 to 2 inches OD. They are compatible with other manufacturers’ ISO-KF style flanges. KF flanges utilize an aluminum clamp with a single wingnut fastener or a lock-over-center clamp allowing frequent disassembly without tools. The vacuum seal is effected by the application of uniform KF Flange General Information Specifications Tube OD sizes: 3/8 to 2 inches Materials Flange: 304 or 316L stainless steel O-rings: Viton, Buna & silicone Fittings Tube finishes: Beadblast standard (Tumbled & electropolish available) Fasteners: Wingnut, SureSeal, bulkhead & EVAC clamps Vacuum range Elastomer seal: >1 x 10-8 Torr -High vacuum EVAC metal seal: >1 x 10-11Torr - UHV Temperature range Viton: -20șC to 200șC Silicone: -50ș to 230șC Buna: -30șC to 110șC EVAC metal seal: -270°C to 150°C New Products Ebara trapped centering rings for KF flanges feature easy assembly with exact centering and are appropriate for vacuum or pressure by externally supporting the sealing ring. Trapped O-rings are intended for use where pressures range from rough vacuum to above atmosphere. Applications include vacuum pump exhaust lines and abatement tools. Trapped Centering Rings Flange O-ring Centering Ring Wingnut Clamp Tube All dimensions are in inches unless otherwise noted pressure from the clamp on the 15ș surface of the 304 stainless steel flanges. The mating flange surfaces compress a Viton O-ring held in place by a centering ring. The resultant seal can be used in vacuum applications of up to 10-8 Torr and baked to 204șC, however sustained baking above 150șC may result in deterioration of O-rings. Additionally, KF flanges allow components to be rotated before assembly for ease of component alignment. KF flanges are available on virtually all Ebara components and fittings. Ebara manufactures a full line of KF adapters so you can add to or build an entire system with KF components. KF flanges can also be used with EVAC chain clamps and aluminum seals to obtain a UHV seal bakeable to 150șC.
