Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard covers general and dimensional specifications
for the Code 61 metric (type 1) and inch (type 2) flanged heads,
flange clamps (FC FCM), and split flange clamps (FCS
FCSM) applicable to four-screw flange type tube, pipe, and hose
connections. Also, included are the recommended port dimensions and
port design considerations. Type 2 (inch) flange clamps and split
flanges are not for new design.
The flange heads specified are incorporated into fittings having
suitable means for attachment of tubes, pipes, or hoses to provide
connection ends. These connections are intended for application in
hydraulic systems, on industrial and commercial products, where it
is desired to avoid the use of threaded connections.
The rated working pressure of an assembly shall not exceed the
least of all the component working pressure rated values.
The following general specifications supplement the dimensional
data contained in the tables with respect to all unspecified
detail. Parts manufactured to this standard are interchangeable
with ISO 6162-1 and connectors to either standard can be
supplied.
