BS ISO 6118:2006

Road vehicles. Elastomeric cups and seals for cylinders for hydraulic braking systems using a non-petroleum base hydraulic brake fluid (service temperature 70°C max.). | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This International Standard specifies performance tests of brake cups and seals for hydraulic braking systems for road vehicles. It does not include requirements relating to chemical composition, tensile strength and elongation of the rubber compound. Disc brake seals are not covered by this International Standard. This International Standard is applicable to moulded seals (cups or double-lipped type gland seals), 60 mm in diameter and smaller, compounded from rubber, for use in hydraulic actuating cylinders employing road vehicle non-petroleum base hydraulic brake fluid conforming to the requirements of ISO 4925.

NOTE The rubber used in these seals shall be suitable for operation in a temperature range of −40 °C to +70 °C.
