Overview
ISO 9803-1:2020 is an international standard developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 112 focusing on vacuum technology. This standard specifies the mounting dimensions for vacuum pipeline fittings with non knife-edge flange types. It covers common fittings such as elbows, tees, and crosses for nominal bores ranging from 10 mm to 250 mm under the R5 series. The document ensures uniformity and interchangeability in vacuum system components by standardizing flange and pipeline fitting dimensions.
This second edition updates normative references and serves as a revision of the 2007 edition, maintaining relevance for manufacturers and users in vacuum technology applications.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application: Defines mounting dimensions exclusively for vacuum pipeline fittings with non knife-edge flanges, focusing on standard nominal bore sizes from 10 mm up to 250 mm.
- Non Knife-Edge Flange Definition: These flanges differ from knife-edge types by their flange construction and sealing methods as referenced in ISO 1609 and ISO 2861.
- Fittings Covered: Includes common vacuum pipeline components such as:
- Elbows
- Tees
- Crosses
- Mounting Dimensions: Detailed in Table 1 with precise measurements for flange edge dimensions, length (H), and tolerances on perpendicularity and parallelism.
- Flange Details: Flange dimensions comply with ISO 1609 and ISO 2861, including bolt hole positioning, which is essential for proper assembly and sealing.
- Bolt Hole Positioning: Calculated based on the number of bolt holes, ensuring consistency across vacuum pipeline fittings.
Applications
ISO 9803-1:2020 is critical for industries and applications that require vacuum systems with reliable and standardized connections. These include:
- Vacuum manufacturing processes: Semiconductor fabrication, coating, and thin-film deposition industries require precise vacuum piping configurations.
- Scientific research: Standardized vacuum fittings for laboratory vacuum systems enable compatibility and easy maintenance.
- Pharmaceutical and chemical processing: Vacuum pipelines with consistent flange mounting facilitate the integrity of vacuum environments in sterile and controlled conditions.
- HVAC and industrial vacuum systems: Use of non knife-edge flanges is common for robust and reliable vacuum transport lines.
- Maintenance and upgrade: Standardized dimensions simplify repairs, replacements, and system expansions by ensuring component compatibility.
By conforming to ISO 9803-1:2020, manufacturers and end users ensure high-quality vacuum pipeline connections that meet international best practices, reduce downtime, and improve operational safety.
Related Standards
To fully understand and implement ISO 9803-1:2020, familiarity with the following related ISO standards is recommended:
- ISO 1609 - Vacuum technology - Dimensions of non knife-edge flanges: Provides detailed specifications for flange dimensions referenced in this standard.
- ISO 2861 - Vacuum technology - Dimensions of clamped-type quick-release couplings: Specifies coupling dimensions compatible with the flanges described in ISO 9803-1.
- ISO 3669 - Vacuum technology - Dimensions of knife-edge flanges: Relevant for understanding the contrasting knife-edge flange types not covered in this part but detailed in ISO 9803-2.
- ISO 9803-2 - Vacuum technology - Mounting dimensions of pipeline fittings - Part 2: Knife-edge flange type: Complements Part 1 by covering fittings with knife-edge flanges.
These standards collectively support a comprehensive framework for vacuum pipeline fitting design and installation, ensuring interoperability and safety in vacuum systems worldwide.
By adhering to ISO 9803-1:2020, stakeholders in vacuum technology maintain consistency, reliability, and precision in mounting dimensions for non knife-edge flange pipeline fittings, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of vacuum installations.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
