KF Flanges and Fittings
KF fittings compliant to the Small Flange (Kleinflansch) or the KF Standard DIN 28403, ISO 2681. These KF fittings are typically used in low, medium and high vacuum applications, down to 10-8 Torr. All KF fittings have a common 15-degree tapered flange with sizes interchangeably measured in NW or DN denominations, depending on the manufacturer. All KF flanges, elbows, tees and crosses have standardized dimensions. These components are interchangeable for any given size and compatible among various manufacturers. KF standard sizes start from KF 10 and typically stop at KF 50, although larger KF-style fittings are also manufactured.
KF clamps for quick connect vacuum piping systems requiring frequent disassembles without tools.
KF centering rings with an O-ring, where the centering ring is made from aluminum or stainless steel. O-ring is Viton.
KF blank flanges for capping off a KF-style piping system. For use as a temporary or a permanent element of HV plumbing lines.
KF reducing nipples have a length of tube with KF flanges of different sizes welded on each end.
KF crosses have cross-welded tubes with identical KF flanges welded on tubes' ends.
KF bellows, or often called KF flexible couplings, have a length of flexible tubing with identical KF flanges welded on both ends.
KF socket welds are KF flanges with the internal diameter bored to fit on the O.D. of the mating tube.
