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
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

Introduction
This International Standard establishes the basic performance for 5 080 psi (35 000 kPa) tube fitting
assemblies used in aerospace fluid systems.
The test requirements are intended to satisfy the most strenuous demands encountered in a high-
performance aircraft hydraulic system.
International Standards use the International System of units (SI); however, large segments of the
aerospace industry make use of other measurement systems as a matter of common working practice.
All dimensions and units used in this International Standard are given in SI units, with other units also
indicated for the convenience of the user.
The decimal sign used in International Standards is the comma (“,”); however, the comma is not used in
common working practice with non-SI dimensions. Therefore, in common with many other aerospace
standards, the decimal point (“.”) is used in this International Standard when providing dimensions in
inch-pound units.
NOTE The use of non-SI units and the decimal point in this International Standard does not constitute
general acceptance of measurement systems other than SI within International Standards.
