SURFACE SAE 533 senior - |. VEHICLE | SAE International sTANDARD Koved feat Superseding _J533 DEG1999 (R) Flares for Tubing RATIONALE This document was rewritten and reorganized to improve flow. This spacification has been updated for the purpose of the five year raview and to Include performance requirements as specified In Section 4. To be consistent with SAE document format, optional flare dimensions for 37° single flaras were moved from the body of this documant and placed in ‘Appandix A 1. SCOPE This SAE Standard covers specifications and performance requirements for 37° and 45° single and double flares for tube fands intended for use with SAE J512, SAE J513, SAE J514, and ISO 8434-2 connectors. Considerations such as the affects of wall thickness selection for specific working pressures, identifying appropriate length of thread engagements for pocific applications with mating connectors and ethor associated criteria, shall ba tha rosponsibiliy of tho usar. For applicable nominal reference working pressures for hydraulic tubing see SAE J1065 and |SO 40763. 1.1 Relationship of SAE Standard to ISO Standard Flares as deseribad in this updated document are compatible with ISO 8434-2—Metallic tube connections for fluid power and general use—Part 2: 37° flared connectors. 2.

Deburting Prior to Flaring To assure producing satisfactory flares, It may be necessary to perform deburring operations on the tube end prior to flaring. Smoothly breaking the inside comer before single flaring ferrous, and some nonferrous tubing, is normally required to eliminate the cutoff burr which might otherwise create leakage paths across a substantial portion of the flare. ‘Smoothly breaking the outside comer prior to single flaring, or both outside and inside comers prior to double flaring, shall 'be pormissible on any tube material to minimize spitting 33 Concentricity Tho flare seat shall bo concentic with the tube outside diameter within 0.38 mm full ndicator reading (FIR). To promote uniformity in checking concentrcity of the flare seat to the tube outside diameter, it Is recommended to use the gauging ‘method depleted in Figure 3 and the folowing procedure, or equivalent means, 3.3.1 Mount the tubo in precision calles, dviding head, or equivalent rotational contoring and clamping dovico with tho rear of flaro not moro than 3mm ahoad of the ‘collats. A minimum straight longth of tubo behind the flare of 25.4 mm, or twice the tube outside dlamoter, whichovor is greater, must be available for mounting purposes. 33.2 Place stylus of indicator gage on the coined portion of flare saat 33.3 Rotate the mounted tube through full 360 degree revolution. 3.3.4 Read the full Indicator reading occurring over the 360 degrees of rotation.SAE J533 Revised SEP2007 -6- es Gage 3mm Max es Rotate Tube 960 degrees Indicating Type Gago Flare Seat Shall Be Precision Goltet, Diving ‘Concentric With Tube OD ‘Head, or Equivalent ‘Within 0.38 me FIR, N FIGURE 9 - TYPICAL FLARE CONCENTRICITY GAUGE 3.4 | Workmanship Workmanship shall conform te the best commercial practice to produce high-quality tube flaras, Tube flares shall be trea from all hanging burrs, loose scale, and slivers which might bacome dislodged in usage and all other defects which may cause the flares to leak.
