What is ISO 8153‑2 about?

ISO 8153 series discusses vocabulary for fluid systems and components for aerospace applications. ISO 8153‑2 defines terms that are used for all types of fittings and couplings of fluid system.

ISO 8153‑2 covers the general concepts for fittings and connections.

Who is ISO 8153‑2 for?

ISO 8153‑2 on aerospace fluid systems is applicable to:

Aerospace hydraulic systems, fluids, and components manufacturing industries
Aerospace and defense industries
Testing agencies involved in the inspection of fluids and components of aircraft
Manufacturers of fittings and couplings
Aircraft and space vehicles manufacturing industries

Why should you use ISO 8153‑2?

ISO 8153‑2 covers all the terms for all types of fittings and couplings for aerospace fluid systems, also covers the general concepts for fittings and connections with standardize interfaces used for aerospace fluid systems. These general concepts are specified more precisely by supplements concerning the design, range of application and/or the material of the fitting.

It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of fittings and couplings that they need to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defense industry.

With ISO 8153-2 you will be able to avoid misinterpretation and miscommunication between entities in the aerospace industry. Clear and precise communication through the use of standardized vocabulary will be particularly helpful when dealing with emergencies and risk situations.

By adopting ISO 8153‑2, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their fittings and couplings and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
