The MKS HPS Series 31 model 100310311 is a short weld-stub flange designed for vacuum systems, offering a ¾″ (0.75 in) tube outside diameter (OD) and a NW16 / ISO-KF (also known as KF-16) interface. Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, it is ideal for attachment via butt-weld to stainless tubing, enabling high-vacuum or subatmospheric setups.

Applications & Use-Case
This weld stub flange is ideally suited for laboratories, research institutions, industrial vacuum plumbing, and specialty equipment setups where:
-
A ¾″ OD stainless tube needs to be welded into a vacuum system with a KF-16 flange interface.
-
Modular vacuum systems require quick interchangeability of components using ISO-KF standard parts.
-
Space-constrained flange lengths are beneficial (short stub design).
-
Maintenance, calibration, or retrofitting of vacuum systems demands high-quality stainless steel components with standardized sealing interfaces.
