Overview
Standard HD 129.7 S1:1977 – titled Flanges for waveguides - Part 7: Relevant specifications for flanges for square waveguides – is published by the CLC to define mechanical requirements and dimensional specifications for waveguide flanges, focusing specifically on Type K flanges for square waveguides. This standard aligns with IEC 60154-7:1974 and provides important parameters including both metric and inch measurements critical for manufacturing, assembly, and quality assurance in waveguide coupling.
This document supports international unification in mechanical standards for waveguide flanges, facilitating compatibility and interchangeability in telecommunications and microwave applications where square waveguides are employed.
Key Topics
- Standardized Flange Types: The standard details the Type K series of flanges for square waveguides, with precise type designation conventions explained for consistency.
- Mechanical Requirements:
- Locating holes: Must be precision drilled to ensure reliable flange alignment.
- Bolt shank diameters: Specified with ISO fits (e.g., ISO h8) to guarantee proper mating with locating holes.
- Dimensions and tolerances: Including flange thickness, diameter, aperture sizes, and bolt hole positions with exact deviation allowances per ISO limits and fits.
- Flatness and perpendicularity: Contact surface flatness must be better than 0.02 mm; hole perpendicularity to the flange contact area is controlled within ±0.25°.
- Assemblies versus Unmounted Flanges: Separate requirements apply for flanges already assembled on waveguides compared to unmounted flanges to cover different manufacturing and installation scenarios.
- Ordering Guidance: Recommendations to account for machining tolerances and dimensional allowances in unmounted flange orders.
Applications
This standard is essential for:
- Waveguide manufacturing: Ensuring Type K square waveguide flanges meet precision mechanical specifications.
- Telecommunications network equipment: Reliable flange coupling for square waveguides used in RF and microwave systems.
- Microwave engineering: Precision flange interfaces to maintain performance and integrity in waveguide transmission lines.
- Quality control and inspection: Benchmarking flange dimensions, flatness, and hole positioning against internationally recognized tolerances.
- Interoperability: Aligning flange designs across manufacturers and countries to secure interchangeability and system compatibility.

FLANGES FOR WAVEGUIDES
Part 7 : Relevant specifications for flanges for square waveguides
FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the I EC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National
Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion
on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
3) In order to promote international unification, the I EC expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt the text of the
I EC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence between the I EC recom-
mendations and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in the latter.
4) The I EC has not laid down any procedure concerning marking as an indication of approval and has no responsibility when an item
of equipment is declared to comply with one of its recommendations.
PREFACE
This recommendation has been prepared by Sub-Committee 46B, Waveguides and their Accessories, of IEC Technical Committee
No. 46, Cables, Wires and Waveguides for Telecommunication Equipment.
It forms the seventh part of the complete recommendation dealing with flanges for waveguides, and should be used in conjunction
with Part 1, General Requirements and Measuring Methods, issued as Publication 154-1.
Detail specifications for other types of waveguide are issued in companion publications.
The general outline of this recommendation was first discussed at the meeting held in Tel Aviv in 1966. A revised draft was prepared
and discussed during the meeting held in London in 1968. As a result of this latter meeting, a draft, document 46B(Central Office)40,
was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Six Months' Rule, then amended by document 46B(Central
Office)40A, in March and April respectively.
Although the draft received formal approval, it was decided at the meeting of Sub-Committee 46B in The Hague in 1970 that a draft,
document 46B(Central Office)52, containing only a revised drawing, be submitted to the National Committees for approval under the
Two Months' Procedure in July 1971.
Following the meeting in The Hague, it was discovered that there had been no proposal for flanges for square waveguide sizes Q54,
Q100 and Q130. Prior to the Helsinki meeting, document 46B(Central Office)57 was prepared and submitted to the National
Committees for approval under the Six Months' Rule in August 1972.
During the 1973 Helsinki meeting, it was decided that the circular tolerancing method should apply to the dimensioning of square
waveguide flanges.
The three approved Six Months' drafts and the approved Two Months' Procedure document have been combined to form this
recommendation.
Some editorial comments were discussed and accepted at the meeting held in Helsinki in 1973.
The following countries voted explicitly in favour of publication:

It should be noted that no recommendations are made for the materials to be used for the waveguide flanges. The choice of material
shall be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer.
DIMENSIONAL DEVIATIONS
The values for the permissible deviations in this recommendation follow the principles given in ISO Recommen-
dation R286, ISO System of Limits and Fits, where:
Deviation is defined as:
Algebraical difference between a size (actual, maximum, etc.) and the corresponding basic size.
Upper deviation is defined as:
Algebraical difference between the maximum limit of size and the corresponding basic size.
And lower deviation is defined as:
Algebraical difference between the minimum limit of size and the corresponding basic size.
It should be noted that the upper and lower deviations may have like signs, unlike signs or either deviation may
be zero. This permits the basic sizes of mating shafts and holes to be identical.
The older concept of plus tolerances and minus tolerances has an undesirable limitation, in that the basic sizes
of mating shafts and holes cannot be identical for clearance fits.
