•Standard Gasket is Buna N (Nitrile) Rubber.
•FEP encapsulated Silicone Rubber Gaskets also available.
Surface Finish: (Non-Lined Fittings only)
• All surface finishes are to ASME BPE-SF-O (No finish required).
• If a specified finish on a particular surface is required, please state on the enquiry and order.
Temperature and Pressure Ratings
• When used with a Buna N Gasket all sizes up to 16 Bar (230 psi) and up to a maximum temperature of 65˚C (149˚F)
• When used with FEP, Fluoro Rubber or other encapsulated gaskets all sizes up to 10 Bar (145 psi) and up to a maximum temperature of 204˚C (400˚F).
90˚Elbow Cam & Groove Fittings (PTFE Lined Only)
• 90˚ Elbow Integral PTFE lined Cam & Groove Fittings are available for sizes 1”, 11/2” and 2” - see 90˚ Elbow Fittings.
Notes: For Integral PTFE Lined Fittings Only
• FEP Gaskets require higher clamping forces to flatten the Seal and make the joint. This is made easier by “pre-setting” these gaskets by clamping Polypropylene Cam Male Inserts to the assembled fittings, which must then be kept in place during storage, until use.
• Any Customer’s Own “Special” Gaskets must be pre-supplied to Aflex for special assembly and testing of hose assemblies, to ensure suitability.
