Code 62 Flanges

Please ignore this posting I have resolved the issue.

Providing your solution might help someone else with a similar problem.

They do make open butt weld Code 62 and 61 fittings.

I have always wondered why there are two types 61 and 62 why aren't they standard?

I agree with 3rd poster what was your solution?

Hello Pipeit,

Code 61 is rated at 3,000psi to 5,000psi depending on size (which can be up to 5") and Code 62 is rated at 6,000psi regardless of size (usually between 1/2" to 2" size).

Also everyone needs to be aware that just because you have a fitting rated at 6,000psi does not mean that the system can handle that pressure. Most times it is governed by the hoses used within that system.

Also SAE J518 has good information for details on flanged connections.

Steve and Simo thanks for the great information from the fitter that never stops learning!
