BS 3818 is a standard that outlines the leading dimensions for 1½ in and 2½ in nominal bore screw-engagement self-sealing fuelling couplings for diesel locomotives and diesel railcars, for use at a pressure not exceeding 100 lbf/in2, detailed as follows:
BS 3818 on self-sealing fuelling couplings specification is useful for:
Self-sealing fuelling couplings are designed for use wherever it is necessary to connect and disconnect hoses and pipelines under pressure, quickly and without spillage.
BS 3818 assists you with general functional requirements for couplings, hose half coupling, fixed half coupling, blanking cap for fixed half coupling, dust cap and workmanship.
BS 3818 guides you regarding the materials and hydrostatic test of self-sealing fuelling couplings.
With obedience and compliance to BS 3818, you can manufacture efficient quality and durable self-sealing fuelling couplings for use in diesel locomotives and diesel railcars.
