Low temperature resistant rotary joint

Low temperature resistant rotary joint

The utility model of low-temperature resistant rotary joint fixedly connects the inner ring and the lower flange, and the upper flange is fixedly connected to the outer ring. In this way, when replacing the nitrogen sealing device, there is no need to disassemble the inner and outer rings. Only the lower flange needs to be loosened to replace the nitrogen sealing device, solving the problem of inconvenient disassembly of the nitrogen sealing device.
