TABLE OF CONTENTS HELICOFLEX® DELTA® O-FLEX™ C-FLEX™ E-FLEX™ NUCLEAR RPV K-PORT GROUP EnPro Industries companies The sealing principle of the HELICOFLEX® family of seals is based upon the plastic deformation of a jacket of greater ductility than the flange materials. This occurs between the sealing face of a flange and an elastic core composed of a close-wound helical spring. The spring is selected to have a specific compression resistance. During compression, the resulting specific pressure forces the jacket to yield and fill the flange imperfections while ensuring positive contact with...

PERFORMANCE DATA THE INTRINSIC POWER OF THE SEAL CHARACTERISTIC CURVE Linear load (lbs/in) Y1 = load on the decompression curve below which leak rate exceeds required level e2 Y2 = load required to reach optimum compression e2 Y0 = load on the compression curve above which leak rate is at required level The compression and decompression cycle of the HELICOFLEX® seal is characterized by the gradual flattening of the compression curve. The decompression curve, which is distinct from the compression curve, is the result of a hysteresis effect and permanent deformation of the spring and jacket....
