Conflact Flanges

The reliable sealing performance of Conflact flanges is a result of the design and geometry which "Captures" the gasket material. When the conical sealing knife edge of the flange is pressed in to the flat OFHC copper gasket, a lateral cold flow of the gasket material occurs. This cold flow is limited by the vertical flange wall.

Further material flow away from the seal area is severely limited and high interface pressures are developed. These pressures cause gasket material to fill surface imperfections and produce a highly reliable seal. At high temperatures, the "Capturing" Geometry maintains high pressures despite softening of the gasket.
