SPLIT FLANGES & MONO FLANGES

Split Flanges

Split flanges are a type of hydraulic fitting designed for connecting pipes, tubes, and hoses in hydraulic systems. They are characterized by their two-piece construction, allowing for easy installation and removal around existing piping. The two halves are secured together with nuts and bolts, and an O-ring is used to create a tight seal, preventing leaks in high-pressure applications.

Mono Flanges (or Monoflanges)

Mono flanges, also known as monoflanges, are compact, single-body units combining the functions of one or more valves and a flanged connection. They are designed for mounting pressure instruments like gauges, transmitters, and switches, and are particularly useful in applications where space and weight reduction are critical factors. Monoflanges minimize the need for multiple traditional valve assemblies and reduce potential leak points.

Key features of Split Flanges:

Easy installation and removal:	Ideal for maintenance and repairs, particularly in tight spaces.
High-pressure capabilities:	Designed for use in hydraulic systems with high operating pressures.
Reduced risk of leakage:	O-ring seal minimizes leaks and resists vibrations.
Available in different sizes and materials:	Typically found in 3000 PSI and 6000 PSI versions (Code 61 and Code 62), and commonly made from carbon and stainless steel.
Applications:	Primarily used in hydraulic and fluid power applications such as hydraulic machinery, mobile equipment, industrial machinery, aerospace, marine, agriculture, and oil & gas industries.

Key features of Mono Flanges:

Compact design:	Integrates isolation and venting capabilities in a single unit, saving space and weight.
Reduced leak points:	Fewer connections compared to traditional valve assemblies enhance system integrity.
Isolation and Venting:	Include dedicated isolation and venting ports for precise control of fluid flow and pressure.
Reduced vibration and stress:	Their compact design and reduced weight contribute to minimizing vibrations and stress on the system.
Types of Monoflanges:	Can be configured as a single block, block and bleed, or double block and bleed (DBB) assemblies.
Applications:	Widely used in industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment, particularly in instrumentation systems and manifold applications.
