We recommend the flange finish conform, whenever possible, to 30-55 serrations per inch, in a concentric or spiral pattern, cut with a 1/16" radius, round-nosed tool. This finish is usually difficult or impossible to create in non-circular flanges. We recommend that machined surfaces which can not be serrated have a surface finish with a multi-directional lay and roughness of 125-250 micro-inch RMS.
