ISO 1609:2020

This document specifies the dimensions of non-knife-edge flanges and collars used in vacuum technology.

The dimensions ensure interchangeability between bolted, clamped and rotatable flanges:

a) whether the assembly be homogeneous (for example, bolted flanges or clamped flanges) or heterogeneous (for example, bolted flanges assembled with clamped flanges either by means of bolts or clamps or by means of bolts and rotatable flanges).

b) whether the sealing rings used with the flanges be elastomer O-rings or metal sealing rings, provided that they are compatible with the linear sealing loads given in Annex A.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
