A circumferential clamp and centering ring form the vacuum seal between the connecting KF flanges and the centering ring contains sealing rubber elastomer o-ring. The standard sizes for quick flange fittings are KF-10, KF-16, KF-25, KF-40, and KF-50 with flange sizes NW-10, NW-16, NW-25, NW-40, and NW-50, respectively.
