Hydraulic Flanges

At Hydrofit Engineers, we provide different types of hydraulic flanges in Chennai to meet specific system requirements.

SS Flanges
SS flanges are made from stainless steel and are used in applications where corrosion resistance and long life are important.

SAE Code 61 and Code 62 Split Flanges
SAE Code 61 and Code 62 split flanges are widely used in high pressure systems. They provide strong and secure connections in heavy duty applications.

Weld Neck Flange
The weld neck flange is used where a strong and permanent connection is required. It is directly welded to the pipe for better strength.

Threaded Flange
A threaded flange is suitable for systems where welding is not preferred. It can be easily installed and removed.

Socket Weld Flange
The socket weld flange is used for smaller pipe sizes and provides a tight and leak proof connection.

Slip On Flange
A slip on flange is easy to install and is commonly used in systems where alignment is required.

Lap Joint Flange
The lap joint flange is used in systems where frequent dismantling is needed. It allows flexibility during installation.

Blind Flange
A blind flange is used to close the end of a pipe or system. It is useful for maintenance and future expansion.

Components of a Hydraulic Flange

A hydraulic flange consists of several important parts that work together to create a secure connection.

Flange body
The main structure that connects with the pipe or equipment.

Bolts and nuts
Used to tighten and hold the flange connection firmly.

Gasket
Placed between two flanges to prevent leakage and ensure proper sealing.

Seal surfaces
These surfaces help in maintaining tight contact and preventing fluid loss.

Each component plays an important role in maintaining the performance of industrial hydraulic systems.

Working Principle of Hydraulic SAE Flange

The working of a hydraulic SAE flange is based on creating a tight and leak proof connection between two components.

When two flanges are joined together, a gasket is placed between them. Bolts are tightened evenly, which compresses the gasket and creates a strong seal. This prevents fluid leakage even under high pressure.

This design allows the system to handle high pressure hydraulic systems safely while maintaining proper flow.

Applications of Hydraulic Flange

As a leading hydraulic flange supplier, our products are used in various industries such as:

• Construction and heavy machinery 
• Oil and gas industry 
• Manufacturing units 
• Industrial hydraulic systems 
• Pipeline applications 

These flanges are used wherever strong and reliable connections are required.

Installation and Maintenance of Hydraulic Flanges

Proper installation and regular maintenance are important for the long life of hydraulic flanges in India.

Before installation, the flange surface should be clean and free from dust or damage. The correct gasket should be selected based on the application.

Bolts should be tightened evenly to ensure proper sealing. During maintenance, flanges should be checked for wear, leakage, or looseness.

Regular inspection helps in avoiding system failure and improves overall performance.

How to Install a Hydraulic Flange

Installing a hydraulic flange requires careful handling to ensure a proper connection.

First, align the flanges correctly with the pipe or component. Place the gasket between the flanges and ensure it is positioned properly.

Insert the bolts and tighten them gradually in a uniform manner. Avoid uneven tightening as it can cause leakage.

Once installed, check the system for any leakage or pressure issues before full operation.
