Precision tubes used for metal O-rings and seals in nuclear reactors provide robust and reliable sealing solutions in demanding environments.
Our high-specification tubes are deployed in reactor cores across the world and are critical for maintaining operational safety and preventing leaks that could lead to hazardous situations or process disruptions.
Optimal Metal O-Ring Sealing Performance
Reactors, especially those used in chemical, petrochemical, and nuclear industries, require robust sealing mechanisms to prevent the release of hazardous substances and maintain operational safety.
Our specialty tubes play a crucial role in supporting and confining the metal seal O-ring to maintain its shape, position and provide the necessary sealing pressure.
Alloys
Metal tubes utilized for O-rings and seals are typically made of stainless steel or high-performance alloys. These materials are selected for their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure present in reactor systems.
Sizes
Our tubes are precision-engineered to meet specific dimensional requirements, ensuring a secure fit with the metal O-ring and optimal sealing performance. Sizes range from 1.0” (25.4mm) in outside diameter down to 0.25” (6.35mm) OD.
