Static
The O-ring is fitted into a machined groove between the two halves of the union. When the halves are drawn together the O-ring compresses to an ovalized cross-section, forming a positive, resilient seal which serves to block the fluid, thus sealing even at low or no pressure.
Under Load
As pressure is increased the O-ring is forced to flow and is "squeezed" into the downstream side causing the O-ring to conform to the shape of the end, blocking the groove gap. The more the system pressure increases, the more effective the seal.Straight-Away Breakout
The flat faced construction allows for slipping the component in and out without disturbing the surrounding tube or pipe sections. Pipe alignment is much easier with Hart Unions since it is unnecessary to spring the line during make-up or disassembly.

High-Temp / Steam Unions
Extreme Environment, Class 3000 Service
HART Industrial spiral wound gasket unions are engineered to provide Class 3000 Service in extreme temperature and environmental conditions. Operational conditions such as temperature, pressure, and media will dictate selection of the proper spiral wound gasket for your application.
HART High-Temp Steam Unions - Technical Data Sheet.pdfUnions containing spiral wound gaskets can be supplied to meet national standards such as MSS-SP-83 and ASME B16.20. The pipe union design is similar in principle to flange joints but outperforms the difficulties associated with standard “ground-joint” pipe unions. This is accomplished by forming the seal with replaceable spiral wound gasket without the need of a ground joint (ball & cone) finish. Our flat face design provides turbulence-free fit across seats. This design is ideal where piping requirements dictate the necessity of having a flat face seal to make and break the pipe line.
All HART Unions are Made in the USA!
Features
- Standard graphite spiral wound gasket union.
- Resistant to 850*F (450C) for hydrocarbon and superheated steam service!
- Higher Temperature Options Available!
- Engineered solutions for 1400F (760C) and higher including turbine and energy.
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard | 316 Stainless Steel with Flexible Graphite Filler |
| Optional | 316 Stainless Steel with Silicate Filler |
| Custom Materials | Monel 400, Inconel 600, Hastalloy, 347 Stainless, and more! |
Standard O-Ring Union Features:
- Turbulence Free: All unions provide a turbulence-free fit across the seats
- O-Ring Isolation: The O-Ring seal is strategically located in the thread piece face reducing O-Ring media contact and added protection against abrasives and erosion.
- Precision Machined components: All unions are precision machined to provide high quality and fail-safe leak proof reliability.
- Interchangeable End Connections: Threaded, socket weld, and butt-weld ends are interchangeable. This feature reduces overall costs by eliminating unnecessary nipples, bushings, couplings and inserts.
- Material Versatility: Unions can be provided in all standard metals or combination of metals. This includes 304 Stainless, 316 Stainless, A 105 Carbon Steel, Brass, Monel 400, Hastalloy, and Titanium.
- Excellent vibration resistance: Seals will not loosen, even under extreme pressure and pressure surges.
