ISO/TC 131/SC 9 - Installations and systems

This document specifies a design methodology for hydraulic systems that can be operated with the lowest possible energy consumption while maintaining the intended functionality of the stationary or mobile machinery in which they are installed. This document takes into account the duty cycles of the application. The definition of the duty cycles is not part of this document.

This document gives advice on how to conceive hydraulic systems that can be operated with increased energy efficiency while maintaining the intended functionality of the machine.

This document gives advice on how to conceive pneumatic systems, which under consideration of functionality and economic efficiency, can be operated with increased energy efficiency. It does not focus on compressed air generation and distribution.

ISO 4414:2010 specifies general rules and safety requirements for pneumatic fluid power systems and components used on machinery as defined by ISO 12100. ISO 4414:2010 deals with all significant hazards associated with pneumatic fluid power systems and specifies principles to apply in order to avoid those hazards when the systems are put to their intended use. ISO 4414:2010 applies to the design, construction and modification of systems and their components, also taking into account the following aspects: assembly, installation, adjustment, uninterrupted system operation, ease and economy of maintenance and cleaning, reliable operation in all intended uses, energy efficiency and environment. ISO 4414:2010 does not apply to air compressors and the systems associated with air distribution as typically installed in a factory, including gas bottles and receivers.

ISO 4413:2010 specifies general rules and safety requirements for hydraulic fluid power systems and components used on machinery as defined by ISO 12100.
