What is a "Centering Ring", How is it used?


 

Hi Y'All!

Newby here. I attempting to put together a Vacuum System using a junk box full of various Vacuum parts.

I have two ISO-100 Flanges that I want to mate together.
They are just smooth flat surfaces 4"ID and 5.1"OD, no grooves for O-rings or anything like that.

I'm finding in the Catalogs Items called "Centering Rings" and "Sealing Disks". Are these the same or different animals?

At 'LDS Vacuum' I've found ISO-100 Centering Rings for about $25 and a ISO-100 'Aluminum Outer Ring' for $5. I don't understand just how the Outer Ring would be used?

Am I on the rite track?
Any clarification would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,

You are on a right track! Look at

,

and you'll see how internal and external centering rings should be installed. Walk through the MDC Vacuum Product online catalog and you'll find a lot of other useful information.

Good luck!

Thank You Mr. Chutko.

It's all clear now.
I have a much better idea on how to proceed.

I'll be back! (fair warning)
