ABSTRACT:
A high vacuum sealing flange is formed of an outer housing with an insert which has, around its periphery, a blade formed on a inward-upward slant that cooperates with the inner wall of the housing to plastically deform a soft metal gasket when it is clamped between a similar flange. While designed primarily for rectangular flanges, the claimed invention may be used to make flanges of any desired shape.
