What is BS 4742-7 - Hydraulic brake couplings for agricultural vehicles about?
BS 4742-7 is a standard that covers hydraulic brake couplings for agricultural vehicles, ensuring strength, operability and safety in agricultural trailed vehicles.
BS 4742-7 specifies dimensions and performance requirements for the port connections for agricultural trailed vehicle hydraulic brake couplings complying with BS 4742-4:1985.
Who is BS 4742-7 - Hydraulic brake couplings for agricultural vehicles for?
BS 4742-7 on hydraulic brake couplings for agricultural vehicles applies to:
- Manufacturers of hydraulic brake couplings
- Manufacturers of agricultural trailed vehicles
- Dealers and importers of hydraulic brake couplings
- Testing houses for agricultural trailed vehicles
- Quality and safety assurance services
Why should you use BS 4742-7 - Hydraulic brake couplings for agricultural vehicles?
Hydraulic brake couplings in agricultural trailed vehicles are chains attached to the tow vehicles. The connecting cables or chains will pull the breakaway mechanism and trigger the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle.
BS 4742-7 provides users guidance on dimensions of connections including:
- Male part and bulkhead nut
- Female part
- Adaptor seal
- Hose adaptor
BS 4742-7 provides users guidance on definitions, dimensions, performance, and connections, ensuring the standardization of connectivity with trailed vehicles and operational performance in agricultural trailed vehicles.
With obedience and compliance to BS 4742-7, users can develop and assess port connections for hydraulic brake couplings, ensuring improved connectivity, strength and braking performance in agriculture trailed vehicles.
