RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] STANAG NATO standard flange



Brent,

Did not look closely at the unit that was on our pier a short time ago but from inspection of the images, it looks like the mating unit is one or the other but not both.  The two-part clamping ring interfaces with beveled surfaces so that when the tighter it is drawn together, the more pressure is put on the flat mating surfaces.

Jay,

 

So does that mean they can be locked by both a rotating ring type, as well as a two-part coupling flange, as it appears this DART unit can?     Are all the outer mating parts of the two-part coupling flange beveled so they increase the pressure on the seal further as the two clam shells are brought closer together?
