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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and 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/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 10, Aerospace fluid systems and components.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7661:1984), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the reference to ISO/TR 2685 has been updated in 7.4 and in the bibliography because ISO/TR 2685 has
been replaced by ISO 2685;
— Clause 2, normative references, has been updated;
— Clause 3, terms and definitions, has been updated;
— the upper limit of the tube outside diameters range has been increased from 32 mm to 36 mm.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

part that can be assembled between two removable parts (3.3) in order to obtain the required centre-to-
centre distance, standardized or not, between tubes
4 Classification of clamp blocks
The clamp blocks are divided into three classes, A, B and C, each corresponding to a range of tube outside
diameters and to a maximum clamp block height (see Table 1), as follows:
Class A: tube outside diameters from 4 mm to 12 mm
Class B: tube outside diameters from 4 mm to 20 mm
Class C: tube outside diameters from 4 mm to 36 mm
5 Dimensions of clamp blocks
5.1 Maximum height
Table 1 gives, for each clamp block class and for each tube outside diameter, the maximum height, H, of the
clamp block (see Figures 1 and 2).
