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 14681 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 7, Injection equipment and filters for use on road vehicles.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
Calibrating fuel injectors are intended to simulate closely the function of fuel injectors in the fuel injection system of a
diesel (compression-ignition) engine.
Injection pumps for emission-controlled engines require a new generation of calibrating injectors in order to comply
with the higher injection pressures. The field of application is similar to those of the calibrating injectors specified in
ISO 7440-1 and of the calibrating nozzle specified in ISO 4010. Compared with calibrating injectors according to
ISO 7440-1, the new designs show the following differences:
 change-over from high spring nozzle holder to low spring nozzle holder,
 reduction of masses,
 reduction of dead volumes, e.g. edge filter.
Therefore, the following parts are modified:
 nozzle holder body,
 nozzle retaining nut,
 edge filter,
 spring,
 needle valve assembly and pintle nozzle,
 distance sleeve.
The following parts are not modified:
 the orifice plates with the orifice diameter range from 0,4 mm to 0,8 mm,
 the optional spray damper,
 the distance sleeve of the calibrating fuel injector with the single hole orifice plate.

Diesel engines — Fuel injection pump testing — Calibrating fuel
injectors
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies two types of calibrating injectors intended for testing and setting diesel fuel
injection pumps on test benches.
It applies to
a) calibrating injectors for different orifice plates, max. delivery range 400 mm³/stroke;
b) calibrating injectors with pintle type nozzle, max. delivery range 200 mm³/stroke.
The field of application is similar to the calibrating injectors specified in ISO 7440-1 and to the calibrating nozzle
specified in ISO 4010.
Compared to the calibrating injector specified in ISO 7440-1, the calibrating injectors specified in this International
Standard represent an advanced stage of design which is more appropriate to modern high pressure/high
performance fuel injection systems.
Specification of the type of calibrating fuel injectors to be used, the appropriate single hole orifice plate size or pintle
nozzle (as applicable), high pressure pipes, exact limits, etc. is left to the manufacturer of the injection equipment
and/or the manufacturer of the engine.

3 Requirements
3.1 Calibrating fuel injectors
3.1.1 With single hole orifice plate
The two alternative designs of the calibrating fuel injectors with the single hole orifice plate specified in figure 11 are
shown in figure 1.
3.1.2 With delay pintle type nozzle
The two alternative designs of the calibrating fuel injectors with the delay pintle type nozzle specified in figure 14 are
shown in figure 2.
3.2 Components
The calibrating fuel injectors consist of the components specified in 3.2.1 to 3.4.2 with their functionally critical
dimensions.
3.2.1 Holder body
The holder body may include two spill tubes:
 one tube for the leakage fuel passing the needle valve assembly in the direction to the spring housing;
 another tube (optional) used with vented holder only.
The holder body is shown in figure 3.
3.2.2 Spring
The spring is shown in figure 5. It is designed for low stress in order to prevent fatigue.
3.2.3 Spring seat
The spring seat, which provides the connection of the low situated spring with the needle, is shown in figure 6.
3.2.4 Inlet stud with edge filter
The inlet stud with edge filter is shown in figure 7. It may be flow-tested as shown in figure 8. The outlet of the fixture
(within dotted lines) shall be ambient pressure.
