This specification details a test method for static O-ring seals in elastomeric materials which are subject to pressurized gas media at low temperatures. It gives guidance on the design of test equipment, standard test parameters, and reporting criteria. It does not specify performance criteria that should be agreed upon between supplier and customer. The test procedure may be used to test seals of alternate size and design or using alternative media but such deviations shall be detailed separately on the report form and the results shall not be used to determine the minimum operating temperature of seals of any other configuration than that tested.

ISO 3668:2017 specifies a procedure for evaluating differential pressure versus flow characteristics of hydraulic filters and constitutes a basis for agreement between the filter manufacturer and user.
It also specifies a method for measurement of the differential pressure generated at different flow rates and viscosities by the relevant parts of a filter assembly, spin-on and any valves contained within the filter which are in the flow stream. The typical types of filter to be tested are as follows:
Type 1: which are spin-on filters in which the replaceable unit does not include a filter head (it might or might not include the element by-pass valve);
Type 2: which are spin-on filters in which the replaceable element is tested together with a filter head (it might or might not include the element by-pass valve);
Type 3: which are filter assembly, usually of the replacement element type, that is the housing (head and bowl) and element.

This document specifies a bubble-point test method applicable to filter elements used in hydraulic fluid power systems. It can be used both to verify the fabrication integrity of a filter element (by checking the absence of bubbles) and to permit the localization of the largest pore of the filter element by determining the first bubble point.
NOTE Verification of fabrication integrity is used to define the acceptability of the filter elements for further use or testing.
The first bubble point is established through continuation of the fabrication integrity test. It is under no circumstances a functional characteristic of a filter element; in particular, it cannot be used to estimate filtration rating, efficiency or retention capacity and is intended to be used for information only.
This document specifies a method to normalise fabrication integrity and bubble point data to a standard value of surface tension when test fluids other than 2-propanol are used.

This document describes a recommended method for the interpolation of particle concentration and filter Beta Ratio data when results are not otherwise available at the desired particle sizes. It is applicable for assessing conformance with existing fluid cleanliness and filter Beta Ratio specifications whereby the specification and actual test results are provided in different units of particle size, for example, the specification is in µm(c), but the particle counts or Beta Ratio data are in units of µm(b). This document is also applicable when particle sizes in specifications and available data use the same units of particle size, but do not correspond to exactly the same sizes, for example, when particle counts at 20 µm(c) are specified, but data was collected at 21 µm(c). This method allows interpolation to intermediate particle sizes within the range of existing data and does not permit extrapolation to particle sizes outside the range of available data.

ISO 18237:2017 specifies: - test equipment, test circuit and a procedure for the evaluation of the water separation capabilities of a dehydrator; - a procedure for preparing test fluid; - a procedure for obtaining and analysing the test fluid samples. ISO 18237:2017 applies only to those dehydration units that can dry a hydraulic fluid to less than 20 % of the hydraulic fluid's water saturation level at the test temperature. ISO 18237:2017 provides a test procedure that yields reproducible results for dehydrator water removal performance so that the performance of candidate units is compared on the same basis using the same test fluid. This procedure can be used to test the dehydrator's capabilities on different types of hydraulic fluids at different conditions. Parts of the procedure might need to be changed to suit the hydraulic fluid's characteristics. For example, the testing of hydraulic fluids with high water solubility (many synthetic and fire-resistant fluids) needs higher concentrations of water at the start of the test; the testing of hydraulic fluids with zinc-based additives needs modifications to the Karl Fischer analysis procedure. However, comparison of performance can be made under the conditions defined in ISO 18237:2017.

This Technical Report discusses the impact of changes in International Standards for particle counting,
contamination control, and filter testing.
Liquid automatic particle counters (APCs) are used in monitoring contamination levels in hydraulic
fluids, to establish component and assembly cleanliness level specifications, and in determining filter
efficiencies and particle size ratings. As a result of the replacement of ISO 4402 with ISO 11171 (APC
calibration), the replacement of ISO 4572 with ISO 16889 (multi-pass filter test), and the publication
of ISO 11943 (online particle counter calibration), the quality and reliability of particle count and filter
test data have improved, increasing their usefulness to industry. However, the resultant redefinition of
particle sizes and the use of a new test dust affect how contamination levels and filter performance are
reported and interpreted.
NOTE The first editions of ISO 11171, ISO 16889 and ISO 11943 were published in 1999; all three of these
International Standards either have been, or are in the process of being, revised.

This International Standard specifies the content of an inspection document that specifies both the
cleanliness requirement for the specified hydraulic fluid power component and the inspection method
to be used for evaluating its cleanliness level. In addition, guidelines for relevant extraction methods
and analysis methods are given.
Determination of what constitutes as an appropriate cleanliness level requirement for any particular
component is beyond the scope of this International Standard. ISO 12669 provides a method of
determining the required cleanliness of a hydraulic system. ISO TR 10686 provides a method of relating
the required cleanliness of components to the required cleanliness of the hydraulic system.
For the purposes of this International Standard, approved functional liquids are considered to be components.
This International Standard is applicable to the particulate contamination on the wetted surfaces and
volumes of any hydraulic fluid power system component. Appearance defects and liquid or gaseous
contamination are not covered by this International Standard.
This International Standard does not address safety problems that might arise from hazardous
materials, operations, and equipment associated with its use. The user of this International Standard is
responsible for establishing appropriate safety and health practices and determining the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.

It also indicates the ability of the materials to satisfy many of the requirements associated with fluid power components. Only materials which are in universal usage are specified; other compounds are available and can be used. The required physical properties and test methods (including test specimen) should be agreed upon between equipment manufacturer/user and O-ring manufacturer/supplier.

ISO 18413:2015 specifies the content of an inspection document that specifies both the cleanliness requirement for the specified hydraulic fluid power component and the inspection method to be used for evaluating its cleanliness level. In addition, guidelines for relevant extraction methods and analysis methods are given. Determination of what constitutes as an appropriate cleanliness level requirement for any particular component is beyond the scope of ISO 18413:2015. ISO 12669 provides a method of determining the required cleanliness of a hydraulic system. ISO TR 10686 provides a method of relating the required cleanliness of components to the required cleanliness of the hydraulic system. For the purposes of ISO 18413:2015, approved functional liquids are considered to be components. ISO 18413:2015 is applicable to the particulate contamination on the wetted surfaces and volumes of any hydraulic fluid power system component. Appearance defects and liquid or gaseous contamination are not covered by ISO 18413:2015. ISO 18413:2015 does not address safety problems that might arise from hazardous materials, operations, and equipment associated with its use. The user of ISO 18413:2015 is responsible for establishing appropriate safety and health practices and determining the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

ISO/TR 16386:2014 discusses the impact of changes in International Standards for particle counting, contamination control, and filter testing. Liquid automatic particle counters (APCs) are used in monitoring contamination levels in hydraulic fluids, to establish component and assembly cleanliness level specifications, and in determining filter efficiencies and particle size ratings. As a result of the replacement of ISO 4402 with ISO 11171 (APC calibration), the replacement of ISO 4572 with ISO 16889 (multi-pass filter test), and the publication of ISO 11943 (online particle counter calibration), the quality and reliability of particle count and filter test data have improved, increasing their usefulness to industry. However, the resultant redefinition of particle sizes and the use of a new test dust affect how contamination levels and filter performance are reported and interpreted. NOTE The first editions of ISO 11171, ISO 16889 and ISO 11943 were published in 1999; all three of these International Standards either have been, or are in the process of being, revised.

This International Standard defines a sequence of tests for verifying filter elements. It can be used to check their hydraulic, mechanical and separation characteristics. This International Standard is not intended to qualify a filter for a particular duty or replicate conditions of service. This can only be done by a specific test protocol developed for the purpose, including actual conditions of use (e.g. the operating fluid). The procedure in this International Standard is applicable to individual fluids or types of fluids that have similar chemistry.
