Introduction
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure
within an enclosed circuit. It is suggested that components be designed to meet these requirements
under varying conditions. Testing of components to meet performance requirements provides a basis
of assurance for determining design application and for checking component conformance with the
stated requirements.

4 General requirements
WARNING — Some of the tests described in this document are considered hazardous. It is,
therefore, essential that, in conducting these tests, all appropriate safety precautions be strictly
adhered to. Attention is drawn to the danger of burst, fine jets (which can penetrate the skin)
and energy release of expanding gases. To reduce the hazard of energy release, bleed air out of
test specimens prior to pressure testing. Tests shall be set up and performed by properly trained
personnel, utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
4.1 Test assemblies
All components tested shall be in the final form, including annealed nuts, as required for brazed
components. Unless otherwise specified in the respective connector standard, Type 1 test assemblies
shall be as shown in Figure 1 for tube connections, and Type 2 test assemblies shall be as shown in
Figure 2 for male stud ends. Alternatively, in order to test the connector to its full capability, use of
the metallic tube may be omitted for burst and cyclic endurance tests, and different configurations
with similar capability may be combined in a test assembly Type 3, as shown in Figure 3. Type 4 test
assemblies for flange connectors shall be as shown in Figure 4. Test assemblies shall conform to the
relevant requirements given in Table 1.

ISO 19879:2021(E)

accordance with ISO 3448. For connectors made of materials other than carbon steel, the manufacturer's
recommendation for thread lubrication shall be followed.
4.3.2 Torque
For all tests, except the repeated assembly and overtightening tests, tube connections and stud ends
shall be tested at the required minimum torques or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight
position given in the respective connector standard, if specified. Otherwise, they shall be tested at
the minimum torque values or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight position supplied by the
manufacturer. For test assembly, type 2 and type 3 adjustable stud torques shall be applied after being
backed out one full turn from finger-tight, in order to test correctly the worst possible actual assembly
conditions.
4.3.3 Temperature
For all tests, the temperature of the hydraulic fluid shall be between 15 °C and 80 °C, unless otherwise
specified in the respective connector standard.
4.4 Test report
Test results and test conditions shall be reported.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19879 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 131, Fluid power systems, Subcommittee SC 4,
Connectors and similar products and components.
This second edition of ISO 19879 cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19879:2005) of which it
constitutes a minor revision, with minor changes to 10.1, 10.2 (Table 7) and 12.2.2. (It also incorporates
the Technical Corrigendum ISO 19879-1:2005/Cor: 2007.)
The main changes since the last revision clarifies the language used to describe the connector end as
well as the proper method for selecting tubes for test assemblies.

Introduction
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure
within an enclosed circuit. It is required that components be designed to meet these requirements
under varying conditions. Testing of components to meet performance requirements provides a basis of
assurance for determining design application and for checking component compliance with the stated
requirements.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 19879:2019(E)
Metallic tube connections for fluid power and general
use — Test methods for hydraulic fluid power connections
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies uniform methods for the testing and performance evaluation
of metallic tube connections, stud ends for ports and flange connections for use in hydraulic fluid
power applications. This International Standard does not apply to the testing of hydraulic quick-action
couplings, which is covered by ISO 18869.
Tests outlined in this International Standard are independent of each other and document the method
to follow for each test. See the appropriate component International Standard for which tests to conduct
and for performance criteria.
For qualification of the connector, the minimum number of samples specified in this International
Standard is tested, unless otherwise specified in the relevant connector standard or as agreed upon by
the manufacturer and the user.

4.3 Procedure
4.3.1 Thread lubrication
For all tests, on connectors made of carbon steel and for testing only, threads and contact surfaces
shall be lubricated prior to application of torque using a hydraulic fluid with a viscosity of ISO VG 32 in
accordance with ISO 3448. For connectors made of materials other than carbon steel, the manufacturer's
recommendation for thread lubrication shall be followed.
4.3.2 Torque
For all tests, except the repeated assembly and overtightening tests, tube connections and stud ends
shall be tested at the required minimum torques or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight
position given in the respective connector standard, if specified. Otherwise, they shall be tested at
the minimum torque values or number of hex flats or turns from finger-tight position supplied by the
manufacturer. For test assembly, type 2 and type 3 adjustable stud torques shall be applied after being
backed out one full turn from finger-tight, in order to test correctly the worst possible actual assembly
conditions.
4.3.3 Temperature
For all tests, the temperature of the hydraulic fluid shall be between 15 °C and 80 °C, unless otherwise
specified in the respective connector standard.
4.4 Test report
Test results and test conditions shall be reported on the test data form given in Annex A.
NOTE ISO/TR 11340 provides a method of reporting leakage.
5 Repeated assembly test
5.1 Principle
Unless otherwise specified in the respective connector standard, three type 1 test assemblies shall be
tested to confirm that they are capable of meeting the necessary requirements after being disassembled
and re-assembled several times.
5.2 Procedure
The tube connections of the straight stud connector (part A in Figure 1) and shaped connector (part C
in Figure 1) shall be disassembled and re-assembled six times. Prior to each re-assembly, the tube shall
be turned clockwise by 60°. On re-assembly, the nuts shall be tightened firmly, using the maximum
torque values or number of turns given in the respective connector standard or by the manufacturer.
All assemblies, after the first and sixth re-assembly, shall be subjected to a leakage test (Clause 6) and a
proof test (Clause 7) at the test parameters specified in Table 2.

5.3 Re-use of components
Parts that pass this test may be used for burst and cycle endurance tests at the minimum specified
assembly torque or number of turns. They shall not be used for actual service or returned to stock.
6 Leakage test
6.1 Principle
Unless otherwise specified in the respective connector standard, all type 1 test assemblies from the
repeated assembly test and three each of type 2, type 3 and type 4 assemblies (where applicable) shall
be subjected to a leakage test to ensure that assemblies do not leak when subjected to test pressure.
