Hydraulic flange fittings are mechanical connectors used to connect hydraulic lines, hoses, and components, providing a robust and leak-proof seal for high-pressure systems. They are essential for high-pressure applications where threaded connections cannot meet requirements and offer advantages in confined spaces, facilitating assembly and maintenance. These fittings typically consist of a flange head with bolt holes, a sealing mechanism such as an O-ring or gasket, and bolts and nuts for securing the connection.
The components of a hydraulic flange fitting are a flange head, seal, bolt, nuts, and flange clamps. Flange fittings are specifically designed to withstand the high pressures of hydraulic systems and have specific standards such as SAE Code 61 and SAE Code 62, respectively, for different pressure ratings.Compared to some threaded connections, they require lower torque for assembly, making them ideal for confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas.
