What is BS 6142 - Hydraulic systems of agricultural tractors about?
BS 6142 is a standard that covers the presentation of technical data on hydraulic systems of agricultural tractors which enables the standardization of technical specifications in agricultural applications.
BS 6142 specifies the technical data, relating to the external hydraulic systems, that is to be provided on agricultural tractors and machinery and the method of presentation.
Who is BS 6142 - Hydraulic systems of agricultural tractors for?
BS 6142 on the hydraulic systems of agricultural tractors applies to:
- Manufacturers of agricultural and machinery
- Dealers and importers of agricultural and machinery
- Testing houses for agricultural and machinery
- Safety assurance services
Why should you use BS 6142 - Hydraulic systems of agricultural tractors?
Hydraulic systems facilitate starting, stopping, accelerating, and decelerating in agricultural tractors and machinery. Hydraulic systems can move heavier loads and provide more force than mechanical, electrical, or pneumatic systems. Presentation of technical data on hydraulic systems enables end consumers to identify and select tractors for their specific purposes and uses cases.
BS 6142 provides users guidance on the presentation of technical data including, rated pressure, flow, flow rate, direction of flow and more, enabling users to provide precise technical information to distributors and end-users.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6142, users can standardize product specifications of hydraulic systems in agricultural tractors and machinery, enabling classification, identification and usability in agricultural applications.
