What is BS 4742-6 - Sump port connection on agricultural tractors about?
BS 4742-6 is a standard that serves covers sump port connection on agricultural tractors, enabling optimal pressure at the connection port and resistance to return oil flow in agriculture tractors.
BS 4742-6 specifies the requirements for location, dimensions, zone of clearance and performance of the low-pressure return to sump port connection on agricultural tractors for use with agricultural equipment incorporating hydraulic equipment powered from a tractor external hydraulic service.
In BS 4742-6, the low-pressure return connection is intended for use in conjunction with external systems which require a minimal return to sump oil flow restriction, for example, hydraulic motors.
Who is BS 4742-6 - Sump port connection on agricultural tractors for?
BS 4742-6 on sump port connection on agricultural tractors applies to:
- Manufacturers of agricultural tractors
- Dealers and importers of agricultural tractors
- Testing houses and labs for agricultural tractors
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use BS 4742-6 - Sump port connection on agricultural tractors?
Increasingly hydraulic motors and other external hydraulic services are being used with agricultural equipment having a tractor external hydraulic power source which is provided with a low-pressure hydraulic return to sump port connection to the agricultural tractor. BS 4742-6 specifies the performance, dimensions and location for such hydraulic return to sump porting.
BS 4742-6 provides users guidance on the dimensions, performance, basic dimensions for port connection and stud coupling, dimensions of the zone of clearance around the port connection, location of the port connection on the tractor, enabling users to standardize the design and structure of port connection and stud couplings.
With obedience and compliance to BS 4742-6, users can standardize the requirements for sump ports, enabling stable operations, optimal clearance zone, and resistance to return oil flow, ensuring performance, operability and longevity in agricultural tractors.
