National foreword

This British reproduces verbatim IS0 71691998 and implements it as the

Standasd
UK national standard. It supersedes BS 2M 60:1993 which is withdrawn.
The LTK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Cornmittee
ACW69, Aerospace hydraulic systems, fluids and components, which has the
responsibility to:
- aid enquirers to understand the text;
- present to the responsible inte&onal/European committee any enquiries
on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests
informed;
- monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to
its secretary.

Foreword

IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide

federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through I S0
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 also take part in the work. I S0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
ISO,

(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least % of the member bodies casting
a vote.

International Standard IS0 was prepared by Technical Committee

71 69
ISOTTC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, subcommittee SC 1 O, Aerospace

fluid systems and components.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition

of which it constitutes a technical revision.

When tested i n accordance with IS0 1 0583:1 993, 5.1 , the test assembly shall withstand pressu re equal to twice the
nominal pressu re 3) without leakage, evidence of permanent deformation or other malfunction that might affect the
abi lity to disconnect or connect u sing the specified range of torque values. Al l specimens, except tensil e specimens,
shall be proof tested.

4.6.2 Pneumatic pressure tigh tness

When tested i n accordance with IS0 1 0583:1 993, 5.2, assemblies sh all pass the gaseous pressure test to the
specified nom inal pressure without leakage or other failure. Si x specimens shall be tested.

4.6.3 H yd rau l i c i mpul se resi stan ce

When tested i n accordance with I S 0 6772 and IS0 1 0583:1 993, 5.3, the test assembly shall withstand 200 O00
impu lse pressu re cycles without leakage. Six specimens shall be tested.

4.6.4 Mi n i m u m hydrostatic pressu re capabi l i ty

When tested i n accordance with I S 0 1 0583:1 993, 5.4, there shall be n o leakage or burst at less than th e specified
minimum bu rst pressure. Tubing expansion i s permissible. Six specimens shall be tested to failure.

4.6.5 Fl exu re resistance

4.6.5.1 Stan d ard rotary fl exure test, temperature type II, pressu re cl ass D

When tested i n accordance with I S 0 7257 an d IS0 1 0583:1 993, 5.5, test assemblies shal l not fail. Six specimens
wi th straight unions shall be tested. Bulkhead tee fitti ng connections shall match the flexure fatigue l i fe of straight
unions. Two specimens with bulkhead tees shall be tested.

4.6.5.1 .1 Basi c qu ali ficati on requi rement for testi n g to 1 07 cycles

Steel 24" con e fittings shall be used with type II, class D, cold-worked corrosi on-resistant steel tubing (material

No. 1 4 i n table A . l ) and flexu re fatigue tested to 1 35 MPa bending stress i n sizes DN1 6 and under, and 1 08 MPa in

of
O

NOTE - Under pressure and with dynamic load due to rotation, these stresses may be 1 72 MPa and 1 37 M Pa respectively.

4.6.5.1 .2 Al tern ati ve q u al i fi cati on test requi rement

Modi fi cations of 24" cone fittings, other fi tting designs, new tubing materials or other attachment methods are to be
qu al ified by comparing their fatigue l ife against that of the basic 24" cone fi ttin g by testing to 1 07 cycles, to the same
fati gu e l i fe measured i n deflection as the basic fitting. The performance of such other designs, materials or joining
methods shal l meet or exceed that of the standard 24" cone type II, class D fitting and cold-worked corrosion-
resistant steel tubing (material No. 1 4 i n tabl e A.1 ); that is, al l six specimens shall withstand 1 07 flexure cycles
without failure.

testi n g six specimens to 1 07 cycl es at a speci fi ed ben di n g or stress l evel (4.6.5.1 . i ) .

NOTE - The alternative method (I S0 7257) requires testing of at least eight specimens, two each at four stress levels, to
produce a S- N curve. Such a curve shows cycles to failure for three sets of two specimens tested to different high stress levels,
and one set of two specimens at one l o w stress level which lasts 1 07 cycles without failure.

4.6.5.2 Rotary flexure test for other temperature types and pressure classes

cou l d affect th e serviceability of th e part (see 3. 1 ) . Defects i n th e shear area along forging parti n g planes of
al u m i n i u m alloy fittings may be expl ored by gri n di n g (to a maximum roughness, Ra, of 6,5 pm) and etching. I f the
defects can be removed so that they do not reappear on re-etch i n g and th e requ ired section thickness can be
maintained, they shall not be con si dered as grounds for rejection.

5 Quality assurance provisions

5.1 Responsibility for inspection

Unless oth erwi se specified i n th e con tract or pu rch ase order, th e manufacturer is responsible for the performance of

perform any i n specti on specified i n this I n tern ati on al Standard, whenever su ch inspections are deemed necessary
to ensure that supplies an d services con form to th e prescri bed requirements.

5.2 Classification of inspections and tests

The inspection and testing of fittings, n u ts an d sleeves sh al l be cl assi fi ed as follows:

5.2.2.1 Non-destructive tests

I n specti on for material, threads, finish, dimensions, marking, su rface defects an d workmanship shall be conducted
on a sampling basis i n accordance with IS0 2859-1 .

5.2.2.1 .1 Classification of defects

Fi tti n g defects are cl assi fi ed i n tabl e 5 accordi n g to th e effect they h ave on safety an d usability. Definition of classes
is as follows:

a) Major: wi l l cause malfu nction or wil l make the part unusable;

b) Minor A: may have a slight effect on usability; an d

c) M i n or B: h as no effect on usability.

5.2.2.1 .2 Acceptable quality level

The fol l owi n g acceptable quality levels (AQLs) apply to th e defect cl assi fi cati on s (see 5. 2 . 2 . 1 . l ) shown i n table 5.

a) Major: AQL 0,01 5

b) M i n or A: AQL 0,040

c) M i n or B: AQL 0,065

Al l defects not i den ti fi ed i n table 5 shall be inspected i n accordance with the Minor B classification (AQL 0,065).
