How You Benefit From The KC Sealing System
KC Multi-Ring®Gasket Design
- Evenly distributes clamping force around entire flange face
- Reduces/eliminates flange distortion
- Requires as little as 50% bolt torque as conventional designs
- Engineered to fit each different pipe/flange style
- Available in these styles:
PVDF Universal | New ANSI | |
PVDF ring – BCF/IR flange adapters | Old ANSI | |
PVDF ring – socket fusion flange adapters | Polypro & others contact factory | |
Schedule 10 | FRP Ducting | |
- Only one torque value required for same size flange in PVDF, Schedule 10, and New ANSI styles in like material
- Gasket styles can be cut and molded from any material:
Expanded PTFE | |
Expanded PTFE (densified) | |
KRYSTLE-CLEAR | |
FPM (Fluorine Rubber) | |
EPDM |
Other sheet or roll material
AC Flange Rings
Available for both new and existing construction
- Engineered to direct the clamping force towards the pipe ID, not the flange adapter OD
- Provides a positive seal at the inner ring on a KC Multi-Ring® gasket
- Minimizes gasket surface area contacted by medium
(Contamination from gasket is proportional to gasket surface area) - Reduces the cavity at flanged joints
- Available for plastic piping
- Thermoplastic coating is more resilient and less brittle than PVDF
When an AC flange is dropped, the coating dents
Dents can be “smoothed out” in the field with a heat gun - Independent Finite Element Analysis confirms KC Multi-Ring®’s lab results which support all of the patent claims.
