ISO 10592 specifies requirements, test methods, manuals for both the owner and the installer, and the designation for hydraulic steering systems and components from the wheel to the interface point for outboard motor, inboard motor, and inboard-outdrive steering arrangements, used on the small craft of up to 24 m length of the hull.
Accessories connecting output rams to tiller arms or equivalent are not included.
ISO 10592 on hydraulic steering systems is relevant to:
A hydraulic piston connected to the steering gear uses pressurized fluid to provide assistance when turning the wheel. The fluid moves via a pump that is driven by the engine — The issue is the pump is always using energy even when the steering wheel isn't touched.
ISO 10592 provides guidance on the outboard motor and inboard-outdrive requirements, general requirements for hydraulic steering systems, hydraulic fluid, materials, test requirements, owner's manual, installer's manual.
As a user of ISO 10592, you can be ensured of requirements, test methods, manuals for hydraulic steering systems. With obedience and compliance to ISO 10592, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality hydraulic steering systems. ISO 10592 supplies tried and tested methods that will help users achieve efficient high-quality installations. These result in fewer immediate and longer-term problems with the installation, no premature wear of products. With ISO 10592 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
