Pneumatic fluid power — Assessment of component reliability by testing — Part 4: Pressure regulators

ISO 19973-4:2014 provides test procedures for assessing the reliability of pneumatic pressure regulators by testing and the methods of reporting the results of testing. General test conditions and the calculation method are provided in ISO 19973-1. The methods specified in ISO 19973-1 apply to the first failure, as obtained with the three-points moving average (3PMA) method, without repairs, but excluding outliers. ISO 19973-4:2014 applies to manually adjustable and remote-piloted pressure regulators, both relieving and non-relieving. It does not apply to pressure regulators that have a permanent bleed. ISO 19973-4:2014 also specifies test equipment and failure criteria (threshold levels) for tests to assess the reliability of pneumatic pressure regulators.

ISO 19973-4:2014(E)

Introduction
In pneumatic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a gas under pressure
within a circuit. Pneumatic fluid power systems are composed of components and are an integral part of
various types of machines and equipment. Efficient and economical production requires highly reliable
machines and equipment. Within the ISO 19973 series, this part is intended to provide requirements and
test conditions that permit the assessment of the inherent reliability of pneumatic pressure regulators.
It is necessary that machine producers know the reliability of the components that make up their
machine’s pneumatic fluid power system. Knowing the reliability characteristic of the component, the
producers can model the system and make decisions on service intervals, spare parts inventory, and
areas for future improvements.
There are three primary levels in the determination of component reliability:
a) preliminary design analysis — finite element analysis (FEA), failure mode and effect analysis
(FMEA);
b) laboratory testing and reliability modelling — physics of failure, reliability prediction, pre-
production evaluation;
c) collection of field data — maintenance reports, warranty analysis.
Each level has its application during the life of a component. A preliminary design analysis is useful to
identify possible failure modes and eliminate them or reduce their effect on reliability. When prototypes
are available, in-house laboratory reliability tests are run and initial reliability can be determined.
Reliability testing is often continued into the initial production run and throughout the production
lifetime as a continuing evaluation of the component. Collection of field data is possible when products
are operating and data on their failures are available.

Pneumatic fluid power — Assessment of component
reliability by testing —
Part 4:
Pressure regulators
1 Scope
This part of ISO 19973 provides test procedures for assessing the reliability of pneumatic pressure
regulators by testing and the methods of reporting the results of testing. General test conditions and
the calculation method are provided in ISO 19973-1. The methods specified in ISO 19973-1 apply to the
first failure, as obtained with the three-points moving average (3PMA) method, without repairs, but
excluding outliers.
The lifetime of pneumatic pressure regulators is usually given as a number of cycles. Therefore, whenever
the term “time” is used in this part of ISO 19973, this variable shall be understood as either cycles or
time.
This part of ISO 19973 applies to manually adjustable and remote-piloted pressure regulators, both
relieving and non-relieving. This part of ISO 19973 does not apply to pressure regulators that have a
permanent bleed.
This part of ISO 19973 also specifies test equipment and failure criteria (threshold levels) for tests to
assess the reliability of pneumatic pressure regulators.
The life determined by the method in this part of ISO 19973 and in ISO 19973-1 will be more closely
related to applications that have a large variation in flow rate.
NOTE See Annex A for a flow chart illustrating the test procedure specified in this part of ISO 19973.
