Flange Ports
Large threaded port connections, such as SAE straight thread,
require very high torque to assemble. This makes assembly
very difficult, especially where wrench clearance is limited. Split
flange connections solve this problem by dividing the hydraulic
load among four bolts each requiring much less torque, smaller
wrenches and smaller wrench clearance.
There are two types of flange port connections:
•
ISO 6162, Type 2
•
SAE Code 61 4-bolt split flange
•
SAE Code 62 4-bolt split flange
•
ISO 6164
The 4-Bolt Split Flange consists of four main components:
•
A body (flange head)
•
An O-ring
•
One “captive” or two “split” flange clamps
•
Four bolts and washer
The four-bolt port is simply a circular opening (flow passage)
surrounded by four tapped holes in a certain pattern for accep-
tance of the flange clamping bolts. The flat surface of the port
compresses the O-ring contained in the groove in the flange
head when the clamp bolts are torqued. In some instances,
the groove is in the port and not in the flange head. The bolts,
through the clamp halves, clamp down the flange head onto the
flat surface of the port compressing and trapping the O-ring in
the groove and leaving no gap for it to extrude under pressure.
The hydraulic pressure is thus sealed by the compressed O-
ring as long as the bolts are tightened enough to maintain solid
metal to metal contact between the flange head at the outside
diameter of the O-ring and the top of the port.
Flange Port Assembly
The steps to properly assemble the flange port clamping bolts
are:
1.
Inspect components to ensure that male and female port
threads and sealing surfaces are free of burrs, nicks and
scratches, or any foreign material.
2.
Lubricate the O-ring.
3.
Position flange and clamp halves.
4.
Place lock washers on bolts and insert through clamp
halves.
5.
Hand tighten bolts.
6.
Torque bolts in diagonal sequence (see Fig. S10) in small
increments to the appropriate torque level listed in Table
S6 or S7 below.
