ISO 3320:2013 (supersedes ISO 3320:1987 and ISO 7181:1991)Fluid power systems and components – Cylinder bores and piston rod diameters and area ratios – Metric series (third edition)

ISO 3320:2013 establishes a metric series of cylinder bores and piston rod diameters for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and specifies for each pair of diameters a corresponding standard ratio between the useful areas. ISO 3320 helps manufacturers and users of cylinders by providing a globally-agreed series of these dimensions and area ratios from which to select.
