What is BS 6537 - Staple type connectors for hydraulic fluid power applications about?
BS 6537 is a British standard that specifies the dimensions of the male to the female interface of a range of staple type connectors and adaptors used with rigid and flexible tubing in fluid power systems, primarily in the mining and other heavy industries. Methods and materials of construction to withstand specific pressures are also specified.
BS 6537 also illustrates and specifies leading dimensions for a basic range of connector types, examples of which are illustrated, having bodies that are forged, fabricated, or machined from solid bar, but with no restriction as to the form of additional connectors, including adaptors designed to interface with threaded systems.
Who is BS 6537 - Staple type connectors for hydraulic fluid power applications for?
BS 6537 on staple type connectors for hydraulic fluid power applications is useful for:
- The mining industry
- Hydraulic equipment manufacturers
- Hydromechanics research
- The steel industry
- The telecommunication industry
- Construction equipment manufacturers
Why should you use BS 6537 - Staple type connectors for hydraulic fluid power applications?
Fluid power systems are the only ones that can maintain a constant torque or force despite speed fluctuations. Simple, safe, cost-effective, and dependable – In comparison to mechanical and electrical systems, hydraulic systems have fewer moving parts. This makes them less difficult to keep clean.
BS 6537 provides its users with guidelines for pressure rating, component construction, connector assemblies, and examples of various typical connector configurations. BS 6537 addresses the dimensions of o rings, backup rings, square section staples, and envelope dimensions of various connector configurations.
