Product Details
Designed for Oxygen Service
OXY-CLUTCH is specifically formulated for threaded connections in oxygen piping systems where oxygen-compatible materials and careful installation practices are required.
High-Pressure Performance
The supplied product information lists a pressure capability of up to 2,600 PSI (180 bar) for oxygen gas applications.
Extreme Temperature Range
The sealant is designed to perform across a broad sealing temperature range from -320°F to 450°F (-196°C to 232°C).
Oxygen Compatibility
According to the supplied product information, OXY-CLUTCH is considered oxygen-compatible for its intended use with gaseous and liquid oxygen. Each batch is tested for Autoignition Temperature in accordance with ASTM G72.
