A friend of mine needed to manufacture a custom 4'' SAE flange the other day, and when he asked me to help him with the dimensions, I discovered that while things like the external diameter and the width of an SAE flange were easy to find, the recommended profile for the o-ring groove, among other things, required some "digging." Since I enjoy creating custom reference materials, I developed a small web app specifically for this purpose - it contains an interactive drawing with dimensions for heads of flanged connectors. You can download the drawing of the chosen type/size in a crisp PDF format by pressing the button under the drawing, and you can add a note to the downloaded file by filling in a text field. The drawing also contains useful references - the recommended o-ring size and maximum working pressure. So, without further ado, I present to you the Recommended Dimensions for Heads of ISO 6162-1/2 (SAE J518-61/62) Flange Connectors
