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

Introduction
For the purposes of this document, all fuel system components in contact with Dimethyl Ether have
been considered suitable for Dimethyl Ether as defined in ISO 16861. However, it is recognized that
miscellaneous components not specifically covered herein can be examined to meet the criteria of this
document and can be tested in accordance with the appropriate functional tests.
All references to pressure in this document are considered to be gauge pressures unless otherwise
specified.
This document is based on a service pressure for Dimethyl Ether used as fuel of 1 500 kPa (15 bar)
settled at 20 °C. Other service pressures can be accommodated by adjusting the pressure by the
appropriate factor (ratio).

4 General
4.1 Unless otherwise stated, the tests shall be conducted at a room temperature of 20 °C ± 5 °C.
4.2 Components shall comply with the tests specified in this document as well as the relevant parts of
ISO 22760, as applicable for each component.
NOTE Because of the peculiarities of some components, the list of tests given in this document (Clauses 5 to
15) is not exhaustive. Where additional tests are required, their provisions are given in other parts of ISO 20766.
4.3 Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be conducted using dry air or nitrogen. Tests may also be
conducted with Dimethyl Ether, provided appropriate safety measures are taken.
4.4 Unless otherwise specified, all pressures shall have a maximum tolerance of ±5 %. Unless otherwise
specified, all temperatures shall have a maximum tolerance of ±5 %. Unless otherwise specified, all
dimensions shall have a maximum tolerance of ±5 %.
5 Hydrostatic strength
5.1 General
A component shall not show any visible evidence of rupture when subjected to the following test
procedure.
a) Plug the outlet opening of the component and have the valve seats or internal blocks assume the
open position.
b) Apply, with a test fluid, the hydrostatic pressure specified in the applicable part of ISO 20766 to the
inlet of the component for a period of at least 3 min.
c) The hydrostatic pressure shall then be increased at a rate of less than or equal to 1,4 MPa/s until
component failure. The hydrostatic pressure at failure shall be recorded. The benchmark value for
a specific component shall be determined by testing a component that has not undergone previous
testing.
Previously untested sample shall withstand at least 2,25 times working pressure. Hydrostatic testing
of components that have been subjected to previous testing shall result in an acceptable failure
pressure that is at least 80 % of the benchmark value or at least 2,25 times the working pressure of the
component.
The samples used in this test shall not be used for any other testing.

6 Leakage
6.1 General
6.1.1 Prior to conditioning, purge the component, then seal it at 30 % of the working pressure using
nitrogen or dry air.
6.1.2 Conduct all tests while the device is continuously exposed to the specified test temperatures.

The device shall either be bubble free or display a leakage rate of less than 15 cm (normal)/h when
subjected to the following test method.
If components are subjected to more than one working pressure, the test may be conducted in
subsequent steps.
6.2 External leakage
6.2.1 Plug each device outlet into the appropriate mating connection.
6.2.2 Apply pressurized dry air or nitrogen to the inlet of the test device.

detected, measure the leakage rate using an appropriate method; the leakage rate should not be more
than that specified in 6.1.2.
6.3 Internal leakage
6.3.1 The internal leakage test is applicable only to devices that are intended to be leak-tight in closed
position. The aim of this test is to check the pressure tightness of the closed system.

leaving the opposite connection(s) open.
6.3.3 Apply the test pressure to the inlet or outlet (as applicable) of the device using dry air or nitrogen
as the test fluid.
6.3.4 At all applicable test temperatures mentioned in 6.4, immerse the component in a suitable test
+30
medium for 2min s or use any other equivalent method.

6.3.5 If there are no bubbles for the specified time period, the sample passes the test. If bubbles are
detected, measure the leakage rate using an appropriate method; the leakage rate should not be more
