BS EN ISO 1179-3:2008

This standard BS EN ISO 1179-3:2008 Connections for general use and fluid power. Ports and stud ends with ISO 228-1 threads with elastomeric or metal-to-metal sealing is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.100.40 Piping and couplings

This part of ISO 1179 specifies dimensions, performance requirements and test procedures for non-adjustable and adjustable light-duty (L series) stud ends with ISO 228-1 threads with sealing by O-ring with retaining ring (types G and H, respectively).

Light-duty (L series) stud ends in accordance with this part of ISO 1179 may be used at working pressures up to 31,5 MPa (315 bar) for non-adjustable stud ends (type G) and up to 20 MPa (200 bar) for adjustable stud ends (type H). The permissible working pressure depends upon size, materials, design, working conditions, application, etc.

Conformance to the dimensional information in this part of ISO 1179 does not guarantee rated performance. Each manufacturer shall perform testing according to the specification contained in this part of ISO 1179 to assure that components made to this part of ISO 1179 comply with the performance ratings.

NOTE 1 This part of ISO 1179 applies to connectors detailed in ISO 8434-2.

NOTE2 The introduction of this part of ISO 1179 gives recommendations for ports and stud ends to be used for new designs in hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power applications.
