Flex Torque Flex torque is the moment (ft.-lbs.) at break-a-way to angularly displace a ball joint. Because the pressure thrust is reacted by the seals the flex torque is a function of pressure as illustrated by the adjacent graphs for Number 19, 21 and 39 seals. The values given are for steam service. For water or oil service the torque values are 45% less. Flex Torque Type N Style II, III & III-V Ball Joints Number 19, 21 & 39 Seals

Seal Descriptions and Pressure Temperature Ratings Seal Number 19 Compound 19 is a pressure molded proprietary seal compound recommended for general purpose applications for steam, hot water and oil systems. Compound 19 has the highest pressure/temperature ratings of the available non-metallic seal materials. Rated for service at temperatures from -50° F to 525° F. Seal Number 21 Compound 21 seals are cast ductile iron and precision machined. The ductile iron combined with the chrome plated sealing surface of the ball provide a low friction long life seal. Rated for service at temperatures from -20° F to 650° F with standard materials of construction. Seal Number 39 Compound 39 seals are machined from Alloy 625 high nickel stainless steel. Alloy 625 has very high strength combined with exceptionally high corrosion resistance. Number 39 seals are normally used in Type N packed ball joints made from special materials such as stainless steel and high chrome steel alloys. The temperature/pressure ratings are dependent on all of the materials used for construction . Seal Number 45 Compound 45 seals are machined from ASME A-182 F11 chrome-moly steel forgings. Alloy F11 is a very high strength steel which can be used for higher temperature applications. Number 45 seals are normally used in Type N packed ball joints made from special materials flange including high chrome steel alloys. The temperature/pressure ratings are dependent on all of the materials used for construction.
