5 Requirements, inspection and test methods
5.1 Test conditions and preparation of specimens for qualification
5.1.1 General
For requirements, inspection and test methods see Table 1.
5.1.2 Tests fluids
Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out using e.g. a petroleum base hydraulic fluid
according to MIL-H-5606 for coupling assemblies of type II temperature range and a silicate ester base
hydraulic fluid according to MIL-H-8446 for those of type III temperature range. Water may be used,
whenever practical, for proof, burst, stress corrosion and re-use capability testing. For other than
hydraulic system applications, it is preferable to use system fluid for leakage (gaseous pressure) and
proof testing. When specified in the test method, the test fluid is used as a lubricant.
5.1.3 Specimen preparation
Shaped parts shall be machined with the grain flow of the bar or plate in the direction of the fluid.
Specimens shall be assembled as illustrated in Table 3. Installations on the pipe end shall be in
accordance with TR 2674. Prior to testing, all couplings shall be assembled using the maximum
specified torque. Except, when specified in Table 3, the coupling shall be assembled using the minimum
installation torque for at least half of the specimens, and maximum torques for the remainder.
5.1.4 Pipe assembly
The method of joining the pipe to the coupling end (brazing, welding, mechanical attachment, etc.) shall
not be detrimental to the properties, strength or geometry of the pipe and the coupling end. The joint
shall be in accordance with the design instructions and shall be inspected by direct measurement, X-ray
or other non-destructive methods.

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 non­governmental, 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).

5 Requirements, inspection and test methods
5.1 Test conditions and preparation of specimens for qualification
5.1.1 General
For requirements, inspection and test methods see Table 1.
5.1.2 Tests fluids
Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out using e.g. a petroleum base hydraulic fluid
according to MIL-H-5606 for coupling assemblies of type II temperature range and a silicate ester base
hydraulic fluid according to MIL-H-8446 for those of type III temperature range. Water may be used,
whenever practical, for proof, burst, stress corrosion and re-use capability testing. For other than
hydraulic system applications, it is preferable to use system fluid for leakage (gaseous pressure) and
proof testing. When specified in the test method, the test fluid is used as a lubricant.
5.1.3 Specimen preparation
Shaped parts shall be machined with the grain flow of the bar or plate in the direction of the fluid.
Specimens shall be assembled as illustrated in Table 3. Installations on the pipe end shall be in
accordance with TR 2674. Prior to testing, all couplings shall be assembled using the maximum
specified torque. Except, when specified in Table 3, the coupling shall be assembled using the minimum
installation torque for at least half of the specimens, and maximum torques for the remainder.
5.1.4 Pipe assembly
The method of joining the pipe to the coupling end (brazing, welding, mechanical attachment, etc.) shall
not be detrimental to the properties, strength or geometry of the pipe and the coupling end. The joint
shall be in accordance with the design instructions and shall be inspected by direct measurement, X-ray
or other non­destructive methods.
