XKCF-00659: QUAD-RING(S)

Technical Specifications - Design: Quad-Rings, also known as X-Rings, feature a four-lobed design that provides twice the sealing surface compared to standard O-rings. This design reduces friction and wear while preventing spiral twist failure. - Material: Commonly made from materials such as BUNA-N (Nitrile Rubber) or Fluorocarbon (FKM), offering varying resistance to temperature and pressure. - Temperature Range: - BUNA-N: -40°F to +240°F. - FKM: Higher temperature tolerance depending on the application. - Pressure Range: - Static applications: Up to 40 MPa (400 bar) with backup rings. - Dynamic applications: Up to 30 MPa (300 bar) with backup rings. - Speed: Suitable for reciprocating motion up to 0.5 m/s and brief rotating motion up to 2.0 m/s. Applications - Quad-Rings are versatile and used in static and dynamic sealing applications, including rotary, reciprocating, or oscillating movements. - High-pressure environments, offering resistance to distortion and extrusion caused by pulsating pressures. Key Features - Enhanced Sealing Efficiency: The four-lobe design minimizes breakaway friction and ensures longer-lasting seals. - Reduced Maintenance: Less squeeze means less wear, leading to extended equipment operation time. - Compatibility: Quad-Ring glands are deeper than standard O-ring grooves, requiring specific dimensions for proper installation. Additional Information - Quad-Rings are dimensionally similar to US standard AS568 O-ring sizes but require different groove dimensions due to their unique design characteristics. - Available in various cross-sections and inner diameters, with standard and non-standard sizes offered for diverse applications. - This sealing element is designed for demanding industrial environments, ensuring reliability in both static and dynamic conditions.
