New Technical Standards Now Available From NFPA

Feb. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Three new technical documents have recently been published and are now available from the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA).

ISO 4413:2010 (supersedes ISO 4413:1998):  Hydraulic fluid power – General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components

Scope:
This International Standard provides general rules and safety requirements for hydraulic systems and their components used on machinery as defined by ISO 12100:2010, 3.1.  It deals with all significant hazards associated with hydraulic fluid power systems and specifies the principles to apply in order to avoid those hazards when the systems are put to their intended use.

The significant hazard noise is incompletely dealt with in this International Standard (noise emission depends especially on the installation of hydraulic components or systems in machinery).

This International Standard applies to the design, construction and modification of systems and their components, also taking into account the following aspects:
a)    assembly;
b)    installation;
c)    adjustment;
d)    uninterrupted system operation;
e)    ease and economy of maintenance and cleaning;
f)     reliable operation in all intended uses;
g)    energy efficiency; and
h)    environment.

ISO 4414:2010 (supersedes ISO 4414:1998):  Pneumatic fluid power – General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components

Scope:
This International Standard specifies general rules and safety requirements for pneumatic systems and components used on machinery as defined by ISO 12100:2010, 3.1.  It deals with all significant hazards associated with pneumatic fluid power systems and specifies principles to apply in order to avoid those hazards when the systems are put to their intended use.

The significant hazard noise is incompletely dealt with in this International Standard (noise emission depends especially on the installation to pneumatic components or systems into machinery).

This International Standard applies to the design, construction and modification of systems and their components, also taking into account the following aspects:
a)    assembly;
b)    installation;
c)    adjustment;
d)    uninterrupted system operation;
e)    ease and economy of maintenance and cleaning;
f)     reliable operation in all intended uses;
g)    energy efficiency; and
h)    environment.

This International Standard does not apply to air compressors and the systems associated with air distribution as typically installed in a factory, including gas bottles and receivers.

ISO 11171:2010 (supersedes ISO 11171:1999):  Hydraulic fluid power – Calibration of automatic particle counters for liquids

Scope:
This International Standard specifies procedures for:

a) primary particle-sizing calibration, sensor resolution and counting performance of automatic particle counters (APCs) for liquids capable of analyzing bottle samples;
b) secondary particle-sizing calibration using suspensions verified with a primary calibrated APC;
c) establishing acceptable operation and performance limits;
d) verifying particle sensor performance using a truncated test dust;
e) determining coincidence and flow rate limits.

NFPA provides a forum for the fluid power industry’s channel partners—manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, customers and educators. Its U.S. and multinational members work cooperatively in advancing hydraulic and pneumatic technology through the association’s many programs and initiatives. NFPA coordinates standards development for fluid power at the industry and international levels. These standards are intended as guides to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the user.
