11、rd. It relates to a series of metal connectors secured by staples to enable hydraulic engineers to connect rigid and flexible tubing to fluid power system components. The design of fittings specified in this standard has been proof tested in association with type 2 hoses specified in ISO DIS6805-2 1
12、) , which will be published as a British Standard, and in accordance with the test method described in BS5173-2. It is the duty of the designer and/or manufacturer to ensure that unspecified dimensions, materials and production processes are compatible with rated pressure and service conditions, e.g
13、. fluids to be employed, etc. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of

This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.
15、 1) In preparation.BS6537:1984 BSI 01-2000 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies the dimensions of the male to 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. Method
16、s and materials of construction to withstand specific pressures are also specified. The standard also illustrates and specifies leading dimensions for a basic range of connector types, examples of which are illustrated, having bodies which are forged, fabricated or machined from solid bar, but with
17、no restriction as to the form of additional connectors, including adaptors designed to interface with threaded systems. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Designation The connectors shall be designated by the nominal sizes listed in
18、Table 1 and subsequentTable 2 toTable 8. 3 Pressure rating The rated pressure for which each connector is suitable shall be as specified inTable 1. Table 1 Range of nominal sizes and their pressure ratings 4 Component construction 4.1 Assembly The connectors shall comprise the components shown assem
19、bled inFigure 1 and detailed in4.2 to4.5. 4.2 Female body (swivel or fixed), and male body 4.2.1 Dimensions. The interface dimensions of these components shall be in accordance withTable 2 andFigure 2. NOTE 1The dimensions specified inTable 2 are after-plating dimensions; actual machining dimensions
20、 will therefore have to take account of plating thicknesses in order to achieve the specified finished dimensions. NOTE 2Alternative fastening of swivel collars to that shown in Figure 2 may be used providing the performance meets, or exceeds, the values stated inTable 1 and that interchangeability
21、is not affected. 4.2.2 Material. The material used in the manufacture of these components shall be a wrought steel complying with section2.1 or section2.2 of BS 970-1:1983, having the following minimum mechanical properties: R m = 360 N/mm 2 2) R e = 250N/mm 22) HB= 103 The use of lead additives sha
22、ll be at the discretion of the manufacturer. NOTEType 220M07 carbon free cutting steel meets this requirement. 4.2.3 Manufacture. The components shall be: a) manufactured from forgings; b) machined from bar stock; or c) fabricated by welding, silver brazing or copper fusion. Forgings shall be normal
23、ized and de-scaled. Welding shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements specified in BS5135. Fabrication by silver brazing and copper fusion shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements of BS1723; copper fusion being performed in a controlled atmosphere. 4.
24、2.4 Surface treatment. The components shall be zinc plated and fully chromate passivated in accordance with the requirements of BS1706, classB (Zn3). NOTEA higher standard of protection may be necessary, if service conditions are severe. See also4.2.1 note 1. 4.2.5 Surface texture. The surface textu
25、re of the sealing surfaces shall not exceed the values shown inFigure 2, measured in accordance with BS1134-1. 4.3 “O”-ring seal 4.3.1 Dimensions. The dimensions and the tolerances of the “O”-ring seals shall be in accordance withTable 3 and Figure 3. Nominal size a Design dynamic pressure rating, c
