3 FeaturesSwagelok VCR Fittings offer the high purity of a Metal -to- Metal seal , providing leak-tight service from vacuum to positive pressure .The seal on a VCR assembly is made when the Gasket is compressed by two beads during the engagement of a male nut or body hex and a female nut .Pressure Ratings All ratings comply with calculations in accordance with ASME Code for Pressure Piping B31 .3, Process Piping, and ASME B31 .1, Power Piping . Working pressure ratings determined at room temperature with Gasket materials shown .PlatingVCR female nuts are silver plated . Avoid chemical processes used for cleaning, electropolishing, and passivation that will remove plating . If the plating is damaged or removed, thread galling may occur, damaging fitting components and preventing a proper seal .Materials of ConstructionTemperature RatingsComponents Material Temperature, F ( C)Fittings316 stainless steel 1000 (537)316L stainless steel 316L VAR stainless steel Gaskets316L stainless steel 1000 (537)Nickel 600 (315)Copper 400 (204)TestingThe VCR fitting design has been helium leak tested to a maximum leak rate of 4 10 9 std cm3/s with silver-plated and copper gaskets and to a maximum leak rate of 4 10 11 std cm3/s with unplated gaskets .
