Functional Principle

THANKS TO THE CONICAL INNER CONTOUR of the LOKRING, the diameter of the outer tube is reduced during assembly to such an extent that the inner tube and the outer tube create a hermetically sealed metal-to-metal connection.
The lifetime gas-tightness of the fitted connection is ensured by the state of permanent elastic pre-tension, which is produced by the radial forces of the LOKRING acting in the opposite direction to the connection between the outer tube and the inner tube.
Design and calculation
REQUESTED INFORMATION. Due to the wide range of size and tolerance of tubes, it is unfortunately not possible to catalogue all of the available LOKRING sizes in this brochure. The individually required LOKRING
-
tube materials, tube dimensions, dimensional tolerances and the wall thickness of tubes
-
location of the joining, which may cause stress such as vibration or torsion to the connection point
-
any physical or thermal manipulation on the tubes following the assembly of the LOKRING like bending or brazing
-
the refrigerant that is used in the system
