    Apm Hexseal: Embedded O-Ring Self-Sealing Fastener System vs. O-Ring and Washer Sealing Techniques

    Uploaded by

    Vaibhav Gupta
    The document compares two traditional sealing techniques that use O-rings or washers with a newer embedded O-ring technique. The traditional techniques are described as poor because they do not allow for full torquing without compromising the seal and do not provide consistent sealing or metal-to-metal contact. The embedded O-ring technique allows for full torquing while maintaining sealing integrity, provides 360-degree metal-to-metal contact, and seals effectively against leaks with the ability to be reused multiple times.

    APM HEXSEAL® When Just Fastening Isn’t Enough®

    EMBEDDED O-RING SELF-SEALING FASTENER SYSTEM


    vs.
    O-RING and WASHER SEALING TECHNIQUES

    TWO-STEP O-RING TECHNIQUE NO clamping


    ACTION: Crush & Fill POOR
    RESULTS:
    • NOT able to meet full torquing requirements
    without compromising seal
    • Contact surface has NO metal-to-metal contact
    • Inconsistent/low pressure sealing capacity &
    possible seal rupture
    • NO elastomeric flow-control
    • NOT reusable – high probability of O-ring damage
    • Two-step technique requires stocking 2 separate
    parts & 2 SKUs

    No metal-to-metal contact
    TWO-STEP WASHER TECHNIQUE
    ACTION: Crush & Fill
    POOR NO clamping
    RESULTS:
    • NOT able to meet full torquing requirements
    without compromising seal
    • Contact surface has NO metal-to-metal contact
    • Inconsistent/low pressure sealing capacity &
    possible seal rupture
    • NO elastomeric flow-control
    • NOT reusable – high probability of washer damage
    • Two-step technique requires stocking 2 separate
    parts & 2 SKUs

    ONE-STEP EMBEDDED No metal-to-metal contact


    O-RING-IN-A-GROOVE EXCELLENT
    TECHNIQUE Clamped
    ACTION: Predetermined size O-Ring embedded in
    an asymmetrical groove. Partially compressed
    (20%) into countersunk-threaded area.
    RESULTS:
    • System allows full torquing with sealing integrity
    • 360° metal-to-metal head-panel contact
    • Seals to 20,000 psig against internal/external
    gas/liquid leakage
    • Multiple reusability due to minimum O-ring friction
    • Temperature range -160°F to +500°F (-106°C to
    +260°C)
    • UL Recognized
    360° metal-to-metal contact
