Static Sealing
Square Ring
Good alternative to o-rings for flange sealing – also under higher pressures, will only slightly deform.
Square Ring
A Square Ring is a double-acting axial static sealing element, which is a good alternative to the classic o-ring. Due to its square profile, it only gets minimally deformed when put under pressure. This sealing element is very insensitive towards gap extrusion, no back-up ring is necessary even at high pressures and does not twist during installation.
Square rings are ideal for sealing flanges, valves, plates and fasteners and are available in a variety of common elastomer materials. The most common of these would be NBR, FKM, EPDM, CR, VMQ and FVMQ.
Dimensions are available according to AS 568 (inch sizes).
