Type KA Outer Radial Sealing for Pressure and Vacuum Testing on Outside Diameters

The connects innomatec Type KA connec® quick connection system seals pipes, nozzles, hoses and all types of cylindrical bodies and connects them to the desired piping system. Oval, rough and cast surfaces, as well as test pieces with large tolerances are radially sealed.

The innomatec connec® quick connection system has excellent sealing properties ("helium-tight"). The service life of the sealing rubber is designed for suitability for series production. The sealing rubber can be changed very easily without tools.

The connector is available in many special designs for special applications with stroke limitation, slide lock, internal mandrel, or special seals for special environmental conditions. For special applications, the dimensions of the connection can be adapted to the task. Also for single pieces.

Manual or Automatic Sealing of Outside Diameter with Type KA

The innomatec connec® quick connector system type KA can be attached to the test specimen manually or with an automatic tool. The quick connector is pneumatically activated with control air.

The sealing is made by an elastic sealing rubber. The system is filled or closed via the test connection. After the test is completed, the control connection is vented, the sealing ring is released and the connection can be removed. Depending on the diameter, working pressure or nature of the surface (oily, etc.), the connection must be equipped with a sliding lock.

We can supply the following accessories

  • Mounted screw connections for connection lines
  • Mounted manual slide valves to control the connection
  • Shut-off valves for working medium
  • Dummy plugs for working medium
  • Floating bearings for mechanical use

Type KA-M Outer Radial Manual Connector

The quick connector system type KA-M is manually attached to the test specimen. The quick connector is tensioned by actuating the knee lever.

The sealing is made by an elastic sealing rubber. The system is filled or closed via the test connection. After the test is completed, the quick connector is released via the knee lever and can be removed. Depending on the diameter, working pressure or nature of the surface (oily, etc.), the connection must be secured against slipping (sliding lock, device).

We can supply the following accessories

  • Assembled screw connections for connection lines
  • Shut-off valves for working medium
  • Dummy plugs for working medium

Type KA-S Twin with pair of spigots for narrow centre distance

From vacuum to 20 bar

Time-saving application: one quick connector for two spigots

Spigots with small spacing

Special designs on request. Special sealing rubbers for food and medical applications. Temperature resistance up to 200 degrees Celsius and resistance to aggressive media.

Type KA-S-I Quick Connector with internal mandrel for hoses

Pneumatic sealing is performed radially over the outside diameter of the hose to be tested.

From vacuum to 15 bar

Deformation of the flexible hose is prevented by the inner mandrel

Air lines, water hoses

Special designs on request. Special sealing rubbers for food and medical applications. Temperature resistance up to 200 degrees Celsius and resistance to aggressive media.
