Metal V - rings are designed with a focus on delivering high - performance sealing in demanding environments. They are characterized by a low - load yet high - spring - back nature, which makes them an ideal choice for applications that involve high - pressure and high - temperature conditions.
The V - shaped configuration of Metal V - rings is crucial to their functionality. When placed in position between two surfaces, the sharp edges of the V - shape provide a concentrated contact area. As the system pressurizes, the Metal V - ring is energized, and the V - shape allows it to adapt and conform to the surface irregularities of the mating parts. This results in an increased contact stress at the sealing points, which is highly effective in reducing leakage.
The geometry of Metal V - rings can be specifically tailored to meet the exact requirements of individual applications. Manufacturers can adjust the angle of the V - shape, the thickness of the metal, and other geometric parameters according to the specific needs. Additionally, Metal V - rings are available in a wide variety of sizes, enabling them to be used in different types of machinery and equipment, from small - scale components to large - scale industrial systems.
Metal V-Ring for Internal Pressure: a resilient internally pressurized static face seal open on the inside, enabling it to bear the same pressure as its internal operational conditions. Ideal for assemblies, pressure vessels, jet engines, fuel injectors, lighter flanges, etc.
