Standardization development continues in the field of fluid power systems and components. TC 131, the technical committee directly responsible for fluid power, has 229 published ISO standards to date. There are 35 standards currently under development. The following ISO standards were recently published:
Subcommittee 4 – Connectors
ISO 6150:2018
Pneumatic fluid power — Cylindrical quick-action couplings for maximum working pressures of 1 MPa, 1,6 MPa, and 2,5 MPa (10 bar, 16 bar, and 25 bar) — Plug connecting dimensions, specifications, application guidelines, and testing
Subcommittee 5 – Control products
ISO 6301-2:2018
Pneumatic fluid power — Compressed-air lubricators — Part 2: Test methods to determine the main characteristics to be included in supplier’s literature
Subcommittee 7 – Sealing devices
ISO 3601-3:2018/Amd 1:2018
Fluid power systems — O-rings — Part 3: Quality acceptance criteria — Amendment 1
