INVERTED FLARE's reverse tapered design is one of the key features of its tubing connection method. This design is mainly reflected at the end of the connecting tube, forming a special tapered structure, which is opposite to other common tapered designs. The following is a detailed introduction to the INVERTED FLARE reverse tapered design:
In an INVERTED FLARE connection, the end of the pipe is designed with a concave inverted taper. Specifically, the ends of the connecting tube taper inward, creating a shape that is the opposite of a traditional taper. This allows the connector port to have a corresponding groove that matches the reverse taper of the pipe end.
The key to this design is that during the connection process, when the connector is inserted into the end of the pipe, a sealed space is formed between the reverse tapered structure and the port of the connector. When the threads on the connector are tightened, this sealing space will gradually decrease, creating a strong sealing effect. This ensures that the connection will not leak and maintains connection reliability even in high-pressure or high-vibration environments.
The reverse tapered design allows the connector to be more tightly embedded into the pipe end, providing a stronger connection force. This is of great significance for some applications that require extremely high sealing performance, such as braking systems and fuel systems. In addition, this design helps prevent the connection from loosening and improves the stability of the connection.
