During installation, the axial movement of the LOKRING driver over the fitting body swages the body onto the pipe or tube surface, compressing the pipe/tube wall, first elastically and then plastically. The pipe/tube wall resists this swaging action, generating high unit compressive loads at the contact points between narrow sealing lands inside the fitting body and the pipe surface.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>These contact stresses are sufficiently high to plastically yield the pipe/tube surface under the sealing lands, forming a perfect 360 deg F circumferential, permanent, metal-to-metal seal between the pipe/tube and the fitting body. The driver, which experiences a small increase in diameter (elastic strain) during installation, exerts an elastic, radial preload on the metallic seals for the life of the connection.</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lokring.com/installation.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lokring.com/installation.htm"><U><B>Click here to view installation aids</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lokring.com/comparison_chart.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lokring.com/comparison_chart."><U><B>Click here for cost comparisons</B></U></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="816ad850.png" border=0 width="173" height="133" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="817b2850.png" border=0 width="178" height="133" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="819b4860.png" border=0 width="180" height="134" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="81bb7880.png" border=0 width="183" height="136" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
