The MDC Kwik-Flange™ ISO KF NW 16 is part of an economical, reusable system of stainless steel vacuum fittings designed for high vacuum (HV) environments. With a maximum outer diameter of 1.18" (30.0 mm) and an inner diameter of 0.680" (17.3 mm), the NW 16 flange provides robust performance for a wide range of vacuum system configurations.

Rated for vacuum pressures down to 1x10⁻⁸ Torr (1.33x10⁻⁶ Pa) and bakeable up to 150°C, this component is ideal for frequent system access and reconfiguration. It complies with ISO standards and is compatible with most third-party ISO KF components, making integration seamless.

MDC also supports legacy systems by offering reducer centering rings, allowing NW 10 flanges to interface securely with NW 16 via dual-sized tubular rims. The Kwik-Flange™ modular system includes a broad selection of fittings, feedthroughs, and hardware for complete system flexibility.

Industry Applications

The Kwik-Flange™ ISO KF NW 16 is widely used in semiconductor processing, R&D laboratories, analytical instrumentation, and vacuum coating systems. Its quick-connect design, ISO compliance, and reusable nature make it ideal for applications that demand reliable sealing, fast maintenance cycles, and system flexibility. Whether in mass spectrometry, vacuum metrology, or thin-film deposition, the NW 16 delivers dependable performance in both standard and custom vacuum setups.
