ISO-KF Chain Clamp

Description

The ISO-KF Chain Clamp is designed for ISO-KF vacuum systems where quick opening and closing of the clamp is required while maintaining reliable sealing performance. The catalog states that it is suitable for use with elastomer and metallic seals, features a stainless steel hand grip, and is noted as being especially suitable for UHV applications as well as cryo applications. The sheet also distinguishes between material families: for the aluminium version, the links are constructed of pressure die-cast aluminium alloy with a maximum overpressure of 500 mbar, while the stainless steel versions are indicated for food and beverage applications and list a pressure range of 1 × 10⁻¹¹ hPa to 300 bar over pressure (metal seal).
