A SAE Flange - Code 62 Split Clamp is a high-pressure hydraulic component used to secure flanged connections in systems that demand robust sealing and resistance to vibration. Here's a detailed overview: What is a Code 62 Split Clamp? Code 62 refers to the SAE J518/2 standard for high-pressure hydraulic flanges, typically rated up to 6000 psi (420 bar). A split clamp is a two-piece clamp that bolts around a flange head to secure it to a port or another flange. These clamps are used with O-ring face seal (ORFS) style flanges to ensure a leak-free connection. Design & Configuration Flange Type: 4-bolt split flange Mounting: Two halves with bolt holes that align with the flange port Seal: O-ring trapped between the flange and port face Compatibility: Interchangeable with ISO 6162-2 flanges Materials Carbon steel (e.g., ST52.3) – standard for industrial use Stainless steel (SS316) – for corrosive environments Surface Finish: Often zinc-plated or phosphate-coated for corrosion resistance Applications Hydraulic systems in: Construction and mining equipment Agricultural machinery Industrial fluid power systems Ideal for high-pressure, vibration-prone, and leak-sensitive environments Installation Tips Use the correct O-ring and torque spec. Ensure flange faces are clean and aligned. Tighten bolts evenly and in a cross pattern to prevent warping.
