kf flange
The KF flange, also known as Klein Flange or Quick Flange, represents a crucial component in vacuum technology systems. This standardized connecting element serves as a reliable and efficient means of joining vacuum system components. Designed with precision engineering, KF flanges consist of a centering ring with an elastomer O-ring, two flanges with matching grooves, and a hinged clamp that secures the assembly. The system's brilliance lies in its simple yet effective design, allowing for quick connections and disconnections while maintaining vacuum integrity. The centering ring ensures precise alignment of connected components, while the elastomer O-ring creates an airtight seal under vacuum conditions. These flanges are manufactured to strict tolerances and are available in various sizes, typically ranging from KF-10 to KF-50, making them versatile for different applications. The standardized nature of KF flanges ensures compatibility across different manufacturers and equipment types, making them a universal solution for vacuum systems. They are particularly valued in laboratory settings, industrial processes, and research facilities where frequent system modifications or maintenance is required. The robust construction and reliable sealing mechanism make KF flanges suitable for both high and low vacuum applications, typically operating in pressure ranges from atmospheric down to 10-8 mbar.
