Please refer to the dimensions table below for specific size and configuration details.
Dimensions Table (MM)
Note: Please note dimensions may vary at our discretion. All measurements are in millimeters (MM).
Dimension Information
A(MM): Overall length of the joint assembly. C(MM): Length of the center sleeve. BOLTS NO.: Number of bolts required for secure connection. MxL: Bolt size and length specification. WEIGHT(KG): Total weight of the joint assembly.
Round Gasket Design
Enhanced Sealing: The round gasket design provides superior sealing performance with improved contact area and better leak-tight performance in various conditions, making it ideal for critical applications requiring reliable connections.
Bolt Configuration
Progressive Bolt Sizing: Smaller sizes (63-180) use 2-3 M12x180 bolts, medium sizes (200-315) use 6 M12x240 bolts, and larger sizes (355-500) use 8-10 M12x240/260 bolts for optimal load distribution and connection integrity.
Weight Considerations
Progressive Weight: Weight increases progressively from 1.7kg (OD63) to 26.76kg (OD500), with carbon steel center sleeve contributing to enhanced strength while maintaining manageable weight for installation and handling.
Carbon Steel Construction
Enhanced Durability: Carbon steel center sleeve provides superior strength and durability compared to traditional designs, while galvanized steel bolts, washers, and nuts ensure corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding applications.
