ISO 14540

Description / Abstract: This International Standard specifies dimensional and performance requirements for hydraulic screw-to-connect quick-action couplings designed to be used at pressure of 72 MPa (720 bar¹⁾) in static conditions as an interface between a hydraulic power unit and a tool. Typical applications for these couplings are related to hydraulic jacks, rams, clamping devices, hand tools, and cylinders.

This International Standard covers two types of such couplings: the "P" type, which has a poppet valve, and the "S" type, which has a spherical valve.

1) 1 bar = 100 kPa = 10⁵ Pa = 0,1 MPa; 1Pa = 1 N/m²
