O-rings for KF and ISO-K flanges

O-ring sizes for KF vacuum flanges

KF system

Also known as:

  • Klein Flange

  • ISO-KF DN, NW, QF, and other names) is used for low to medium vacuum.

  • DIN 28043 or Pneurop 6606 ISO 2961

  • Ref: ISO 2861:2013 Vacuum technology – Dimensions of clamped-type quick-release couplings

Maybe also :

  • EN 1.4301 Equiv.

This is not the same as:

  • ISO-K, which is for larger flanges (63 to 250mm diameter) uses multiple claws or clamps to compress the o-ring. ISO-K is defined by ISO 1609/3669, and also DIN 28 404 . Also known as ISO-LF
  • CF, aka Conflat or ISO-F, which uses a deformable copper gasket.
  • DELTA® or HELICOFLEX® type seal, which uses a “spring-energised” seal, where an outer ductile shell is wrapped around an inner helical spring.
