International Organization for Standardization Case Postale 56 CH-1211 Geneve 20 Switzerland

Printed in Switzerland
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.
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 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 8434-5 was prepared jointly by Technical Committees ISO/TC 5, Ferrous
metal pipes and metallic fittings and ISO/TC 131, Fluid power systems, Subcommittee SC 4, Connectors
and similar products and components.
These test methods have been included in several International Standards, but because of their generic
application to ports, studs and tube connections for both metric and inch connections, it was agreed that a
separate standard should be established. Additional tests are being considered.
ISO 8434 consists of the following parts, under the general title Metallic tube connections for fluid power
and general use:
Part 1: 24 degree compression fittings
Part 2: 37 degree flared fittings
Part 3: O-ring face seal fittings
Part 4: 24 degree cone connectors with O-ring weld-on nipples
Part 5: Test methods for threaded hydraulic fluid power connections
Annex A forms an integral part of this part of ISO 8434.

iso-8434 - Part 5
Introduction
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure
within an enclosed circuit. Components must be designed to meet these requirements under varying
conditions. Testing of components to meet performance requirements provides a basis of assurance for
determining design application and for checking component compliance with the stated requirements.

and general use Part 5:Test methods
for threaded hydraulic fluid power
connections
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8434 specifies uniform methods for the testing and performance evaluation of threaded
metallic tube connections and stud ends of ports for hydraulic fluid power.Tests outlined in this part of
ISO 8434 are independent of each other and document the method to follow for each test; see the
appropriate component International Standard for the test requirements and performance criteria.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 8434, the definitions given in ISO 5598 apply.
4 General requirements
4.1 Test samples
All components tested shall be tested in the final form (as the customer receives the part), including
annealing as required for brazing.
4.2 Test temperature

Test temperature (ambient and liquid) shall be 15 C to 35 C, unless otherwise specified in the
controlling International Standard.
4.3 Test report

Test results and test conditions shall be reported on the test data form given in annex A.
CAUTION: Some of the tests described in this part of ISO 8434 are considered hazardous. It is therefore
essential that, in conducting these tests, all appropriate safety precautions are strictly adhered to.
Attention is drawn to the danger of burst, fine jets (which can penetrate the skin) and energy release of
expanding gases. To reduce the hazard of energy release, bleed air out of test specimens prior to pressure
iso-8434 - Part 5
testing. Tests shall be set up and performed by properly trained personnel.
5 Proof pressure test

5.1 Principle
Testing of three samples to confirm that the specified connection (s) meet (s) or exceed (s) a ratio of 2:1
between the proof and working pressure for 60 s minimum at proof pressure without any visual signs of
leakage.
5.2 Test equipment

5.2.1 Test block
Test blocks shall be unplated and hardened to 45 HRC to 55 HRC in accordance with ISO 6508. The
distance between the centrelines of test ports shall be a minimum of 1,5 times the port diameter. The
distance between the port centreline and the edge of the test block shall be a minimum of 1 times the port
diameter.
5.2.2 Test seals (if applicable)
Unless otherwise specified, seals shall be nitrile (NBR) rubber with a hardness of (90 5) IHRD when
measured in accordance with ISO 48. Seals shall conform to their respective dimensional requirements,
and O-rings shall meet or exceed the quality requirements for grade N (general purpose) of ISO 3601-3,
if applicable.
5.3 Procedure
5.3.1 Thread lubrication
For testing only, threads and contact surfaces shall be lubricated with hydraulic oil with a viscosity of
VG 32 in accordance with ISO 3448 prior to application of torque.
5.3.2 Torque
Tube connections and stud ends shall be tested at the required minimum torques of the respective
connector standard, if specified. Otherwise test at the minimum torque values supplied by the
manufacturer. Adjustable stud torques shall be applied after being backed out one full turn from fingerfile:///C|/$Works/Docs/2/iso-08434-5.htm (5 of 13) [17.03.2003 12:24:48]
iso-8434 - Part 5
tight position to test correctly the worst possible actual assembly conditions.
5.3.3 Pressure rise rate
During the proof test, the rate of pressure rise shall not exceed 138 MPa/min (1 380 bar1)/min).
1) 1 bar=0,1 MPa=105 Pa; 1 MPa=1 N/mm2
5.4 Re-use of components
