easy to exchange to match the size

of the LOKRING to be fitted.
VERSION 1.0
4.0 FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE
The LOKRING tube connection works on the basis of simple physical laws. It consists of two rings and
one tubular joint which takes the two tube ends. During assembly, the tube ends are inserted into the joint
to the inner limit.
Then an assembly tool is used to push the two rings axially onto the joint. Due to the conical inner contour
of the rings and the special outer and inner contour of the joint, the diameter of the joint is reduced during
assembly so that the tube and the joint form a metallic hermetic connection through surface contact.
The lifetime gas-tightness of the fitted connection is ensured by the state of permanent elastic pre-tension,
which is produced by the balance of the radial forces acting in opposite directions from tube to ring.
5.0 LOKPREP

(ANAEROBIC SEALANT)
Metal tubes can have longitudinal grooves on the surface from production. These production related
faults can be compensated quite easily by moistening the tube ends to be connected with LOKPREP
fluid before assembly. Thanks to its capillary characteristic, it can even flow into microscopic cavities
and fill these out completely.
LOKPREP is not an adhesive, rather an anaerobic sealant which hardens under oxygen exclusion and
in contact with free metal ions. Its elastic structure is permanently retained in a temperature range of
-50C to 150C (-58F to 302F), thus compensating material-specific deformations due to fluctuations
in temperature. Since LOKPREP does not contain solvents which have to evaporate during hardening,
the finished connection is ready for use shortly after assembly.
5.1 TYPES OF LOKPREP
VERSION 1.0
Since LOKPREPs curing time depends on the ambient temperature, two fluids exist for the LOKRING
brass connections types 50. The curing time of the LOKPREP LT has been optimally matched to
ambient temperatures up to 30C (86F). LOKPREP HT develops its optimum characteristics only at
temperatures above 25C (77F).

7.0 ASSEMBLY
VERSION 1.0
TREAT THE TUBE END

First, deburr the tube end all the way round
using a tube deburrer. As the tube ends must be
metallic bright and free of longitudinal grooves
caused by production, clean the tube ends with
sandpaper or abrasive mats.
For a more detailed description,

please see our official LOKRING
assembly instructions on
www.vulkan.com.
USE STABILISATION INSERTS

Always insert stabilisation inserts into the tube ends.
MARK THE INSERTION DEPTH

Marking the correct insertion depth makes it possible
to check if the tube stays inserted to the inner limit of
the joint until the assembly is finished. Furthermore,
the marking defines the area where LOKPREP needs
to be applied.
APPLY LOKPREP
Moisten the whole tube circumference with LOKPREP.
Apply the LOKPREP a little away from the cut edge to
avoid it getting onto the inside of the tube.
INSERT TUBES
Insert the tube ends with the LOKPREP film into
the joint. Make sure that the ends of the tubes are
inserted to the inner limit of the joint and remain
fixed in this position during assembly.
PUSH THE RING ONTO THE JOINT

Finally, set the assembly tool behind the ring
and the assembly stop on the joint and press the
ring axially onto the joint until it is flush to the
assembly stop.
VERSION 1.0
8.0 ASSEMBLY TOOLS
LOKTOOL MZ
The LOKTOOL MZ was developed especially for
LOKRING assembly. Only one tool is needed because the assembly jaws are exchangeable.
For further information see our

videos on www.vulkan.com.
LOKTOOL MZ-V
The LOKTOOL MZ-V was developed for use in areas
that are difficult to access. The handles of the MZ-V
are offset on both sides, allowing full use in places
difficult to access.
LOKTOOL MB EVP
The assembly jaws fit the hand assembly tools
LOKTOOL MZ and MZ-V. They can be replaced quickly
and easily, thus making LOKRING assembly possible
with only one tool for different tube diameters.
9 different sizes are available to cover the whole
diameter range from 6 to 35 mm (1/4 to 1 3/8).
LOKPRESS
The cordless assembly tool enables the fast and
safe processing of type 50 LOKRING connections
with a diameter of 6 to 35 mm (1/4 to 1 3/8).
The assembly jaws move together when the start
button is pressed.
Until the force has been built up, i.e. until the
start of assembling, the assembly tool switches
to automatic mode until the LOKRING connection has been pressed completely. A special
hydraulics valve and an electronic monitoring
system guarantee safe assembly.

PASSED TESTS
ACCORDING EN 16084:2011
In the time frame of:
August to October 2014
tests on tube joints according EN 16084:2011

have been performed at or on behalf of:

VULKAN Lokring Rohrverbindungen GmbH & Co. KG

Heerstrae 66, 44653 Herne, Germany
The joints consisted of:

copper tube of following sizes:

1/4 (6.35 mm) x 0.8 mm; 3/8 (9.53 mm) x
0.8 mm; 15.00 mm x 1 mm; 5/8 (15.88 mm) x
0.8 mm; 22.00 mm x 1.00 mm; 1 3/8
(34.92 mm) x 1.3 mm.
joined by:
LOKRING brass connectors with steel rings of

appropriate size for applications up to 75 bar
operating pressure
using: LOKPREP LT
As parameters an operating pressure of 75 bar and
a temperature range of -50C to 150C have been chosen.
The test-plan according to the standard includes:
Tightness-test, preparatory
Vacuum-test*
Pressure-temperature-test
Vibration-test
Freezing-test
Pressure-test
Fatigue-test
Tightness-test, terminatory
*The procedure of the vacuum-test according to the parameters of the standard is controversial. Corresponding comments have been given to the standardization organization and have been confirmed by a member of the corresponding workgroup. A revision of the standard is planned. Due to this the vacuum-test is omitted until further notice.
VULKAN Lokring Rohrverbindungen GmbH & Co. KG assures that all test are performed carefully and according the
actual interpretation of the standard and that the involved equipment is adequate for the performed tests.
The tested samples after running through the load tests have met the requirements of tightness control level A1
(hermetic joints, max. 7.510-6 mbarl/s Helium at 10 bar and 20C).
