17、S 7993:2011ii BSI 2011ForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on 31 July 2011. Itwas prepared by Panel MCE/18/-/4, Connectors and associated components,under the authority of Technical Committee MCE/18, Fluid power systems andcomponents. A list of

18、 organizations represented on these committees can beobtained on request to their secretary.Information about this documentProduct certification/inspection/testing. Users of this British Standard are advisedto consider the desirability of third-party certification/inspection/witness oftesting of pro

19、duct conformity with this British Standard. Users seeking assistancein identifying appropriate conformity assessment bodies or schemes may ask BSIto forward their enquiries to the relevant association.Users of this standard are also advised to consider the desirability of requestingconformity to BS

20、EN ISO/IEC 17025 and BS EN 45011.Assessed capability. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider thedesirability of quality system assessment and registration against the appropriatestandard in the BS EN ISO 9000 series by an accredited third-party certificationbody.Hazard warningsWARNIN

21、G. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/orprocedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are nottaken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the userfrom legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Attention isparticul

22、arly drawn to the danger of bursts, fine jets (which can penetrate theskin), energy release of expanding gases and the use of accumulators.WARNING. Where tests are performed, the maximum working pressureconnector (MWPC) or maximum working pressure tube (MWPT) should notexceed the manufacturers maxim

23、um pressure rating.WARNING. Do not bleed off air under pressure by undoing connector nuts, asthey might separate and cause injury.The practice(s) of intermixing and/or interchanging are not condoned orrecommended within the remit of this British Standard. However, it isrecognized that, in practice,

24、system interfaces, modification requirements etc.,can make these practices necessary, and for this purpose, this British Standardrequires suitable instructions to be made available to the user (see Clause 11).Use of this documentThis British Standard is intended for use by manufacturers of connector

25、s anddesigners of systems that use connector assemblies.BSI permits the reproduction of BS 7993:2011, Table A.3. This reproduction isonly permitted where it is necessary for the user to work/record findings on thetable during each application of the standard.Presentational conventionsThe provisions

26、of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is“shall”.BRITISH STANDARD BS 7993:2011 BSI 2011 iiiCommentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not

27、constitute a normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with The BSI guide tostandardization Section 2: Rules for the structure, drafting and presentation ofBritish Standards, subclause 11.3.1, which states, “Requirements should beexpressed using wording such as: When

28、tested as described in Annex A, theproduct shall .”. This means that only those products that are capable ofpassing the specified test will be deemed to conform to this standard.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract

29、. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.BRITISH STANDARDBS 7993:2011iv BSI 2011IntroductionTwin ferrule connectors provide metal-to-metal seal connections,non-elastomeric seals for leak-free connections to an

30、nealed stainless steel tubes.They are for use in applications where operating conditions do not allowelastomeric seals.Twin ferrule connectors are used to connect tube-to-tube and tube-to-systemcomponents, the latter through standardized ports such as pipe threads. ThisBritish Standard provides exte

31、rnal envelope and tube-end-to-port dimensionsthat facilitate designing systems that use twin ferrule connectors. It also providesmaterial specifications and minimum performance requirements to ensure theintegrity and consistency expected from this type of connector.This British Standard does not pro

32、vide detailed descriptions of the contours ofconnector components. Individual manufacturers determine the fine details oftheir connector components, and they are continually improving their designs.The nature of these metal-to-metal seals requires consistently compatiblecomponents.The twin ferrule t

33、ube connector is designed to have a maximum allowableworking pressure that is higher than that of any tubing, as shown inTables 1 to 22 of this British Standard.In the case of an all tube-ended connector, such as a union tee, the properlyselected tube is the limiting factor in the system. A connecto

34、r may, however,combine a twin ferrule connector end with another end of different form, suchas male or female pipe thread. Pressure ratings for other ends are determined inaccordance with applicable standards and may, in fact, be lower than the ratingfor the twin ferrule tube connector end. The raw

35、material from which theconnector is manufactured, either bar stock or a forging may also affect thoseratings. As a result, the rating for such other forms is generally the limitingfactor for the rating of the entire connector.1 ScopeThis British Standard specifies the characteristics of, and perform

36、ancerequirements for, the tube connector (compression) end(s) of twin ferruleconnectors made of 316 stainless steel. It also specifies requirementsfor 316 stainless steel tubes.The twin ferrule connectors in this standard are suitable for use with annealedstainless steel tubes with outside diameters

37、 from 2 mm to 38 mm and1/16in to 2 in.This British Standard is applicable to twin ferrule connectors that are intendedfor the connection of plain end tubes to other tubes and to ports in accordancewith BS EN ISO 6149-1, BS EN ISO 1179 and BS EN ISO 9974-1, and other portsagreed between the purchaser

38、 and manufacturer. It provides external envelope,tube-end-to-tube-end and tube-end-to-port dimensions that facilitate designingsystems that use twin ferrule connectors.NOTE These twin ferrule connectors can also be used with other austenitic stainlesssteel tubes, typically 304, 316L, 321, etc.BRITIS
