Adaptor - SAE Flange - CD 62 Split Clamp

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.
