Metallic tube connections for fluid power and general use - Test methods for hydraulic fluid power connections (ISO 19879:2021)

This document specifies uniform methods for the testing and performance evaluation of metallic tube connections, stud ends for ports and flange connections for use in hydraulic fluid power applications. This document does not apply to the testing of hydraulic quick-action couplings, which is covered by ISO 18869.
Tests outlined in this document are independent of each other and document the method to follow for each test. See the appropriate component International Standard for indications of which tests to conduct and for performance criteria.
For qualification of the connector, the minimum number of samples specified in this document is tested, unless otherwise specified in the relevant connector standard or as agreed upon by the manufacturer and the user.

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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

SC 4, Connectors and similar products and components, in collaboration with the European Committee for

Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 459/SC 10, Steel tubes, and iron and steel fittings,

in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 19879:2010), which has been technically

revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— clarification of the language used to describe the connector end, and of the proper method for

selecting tubes for test assemblies;
— minor changes to 10.1, 10.2 (Table 7) and 12.2.2.

Introduction

In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure

within an enclosed circuit. It is suggested that components 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 conformance with the

stated requirements.

use — Test methods for hydraulic fluid power connections
1 Scope

This document specifies uniform methods for the testing and performance evaluation of metallic tube

connections, stud ends for ports and flange connections for use in hydraulic fluid power applications.

This document does not apply to the testing of hydraulic quick-action couplings, which is covered by

ISO 18869.

Tests outlined in this document are independent of each other and document the method to follow

for each test. See the appropriate component International Standard for indications of which tests to

For qualification of the connector, the minimum number of samples specified in this document is tested,

unless otherwise specified in the relevant connector standard or as agreed upon by the manufacturer

and the user.

4 General requirements

WARNING — Some of the tests described in this document are considered hazardous. It is,

therefore, essential that, in conducting these tests, all appropriate safety precautions be 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 testing. Tests shall be set up and performed by properly trained

personnel, utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
4.1 Test assemblies

All components tested shall be in the final form, including annealed nuts, as required for brazed

components. Unless otherwise specified in the respective connector standard, Type 1 test assemblies

shall be as shown in Figure 1 for tube connections, and Type 2 test assemblies shall be as shown in

Figure 2 for male stud ends. Alternatively, in order to test the connector to its full capability, use of

the metallic tube may be omitted for burst and cyclic endurance tests, and different configurations

with similar capability may be combined in a test assembly Type 3, as shown in Figure 3. Type 4 test

assemblies for flange connectors shall be as shown in Figure 4. Test assemblies shall conform to the

relevant requirements given in Table 1.

4.2.1 Test block

Test blocks shall be unplated and have a minimum hardness of 35 HRC in accordance with ISO 6508-1.

For a test block with multiple ports, 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.
4.2.2 Test seals

For all tests, except for the overtightening test and unless otherwise specified, seals shall be nitrile

(NBR) rubber with a hardness of (90 ± 5) IHRD when measured in accordance with ISO 48-2. 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.
4.3 Procedure
4.3.1 Thread lubrication

For all tests, on connectors made of carbon steel and for testing only, threads and contact surfaces

shall be lubricated prior to application of torque using a hydraulic fluid with a viscosity of ISO VG 32 in

© ISO 2021 – All rights reserved 5
---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 19879:2021
ISO 19879:2021(E)

accordance with ISO 3448. For connectors made of materials other than carbon steel, the manufacturer's

recommendation for thread lubrication shall be followed.
4.3.2 Torque

For all tests, except the repeated assembly and overtightening tests, tube connections and stud ends

shall be tested at the required minimum torques or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight

position given in the respective connector standard, if specified. Otherwise, they shall be tested at

the minimum torque values or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight position supplied by the

manufacturer. For test assembly, type 2 and type 3 adjustable stud torques shall be applied after being

backed out one full turn from finger-tight, in order to test correctly the worst possible actual assembly

conditions.
4.3.3 Temperature

For all tests, the temperature of the hydraulic fluid shall be between 15 °C and 80 °C, unless otherwise

specified in the respective connector standard.
4.4 Test report
Test results and test conditions shall be reported.
