ASAE S489 FEB03 Hydraulic Pressure Available on Agricultural Tractors for Remote Use with Implements

American Society of Agricultural Engineers

ASAE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASAE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASAE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASAE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of these ASAE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. This standard may be designated ANSI/ASAE. If so, this standard is an American National Standard. Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: In the case that this standard is an ANSI/ASAE standard, this American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

Hydraulic Pressure Available on Agricultural Tractors for Remote Use with Implements
Developed by the ASAE Tractor and Implement Hydraulics Committee; approved by the Power and Machinery Division Standards Committee; adopted by ASAE March 1988; reafrmed December 1992, December 1997, December 1998, December 1999, January 2001, December 2001, February 2003.
4.2 Fig. 1 shows the hydraulic test setup which includes the following: 4.2.1 A pressure transducer with a high frequency response sensing within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of the male coupler connecting the cap end of the hydraulic cylinder to the tractor. 4.2.2 A differential pressure transducer or other suitable pressure transducer sensing within 100 mm (3.94 in.) of each male coupler. 4.2.3 A ow metering valve, having less than 100 kPa (14.5 psi) drop at a ow of one L/s (15.85 gpm) when fully open, mounted in the ow path between the cap end of the cylinder and its associated male coupler. 4.3 The hydraulic uid shall be that recommended by the tractor manufacturer. 4.4 The throttle or governor control lever shall be adjusted to maintain the rated engine speed. 4.5 The temperature in the hydraulic reservoir shall be 6510 C (14918 F). 4.6 All tractor-mounted ow controls shall be fully open. 4.7 After connecting the cylinder and attaining the other test conditions, the cylinder shall be fully extended and retracted at least 10 times to remove air and to stabilize conditions.

1 Purpose and Scope

1.1. This Standard has the following two purposes: 1.1.1 To establish the pressure available through the pair of hydraulic couplers frequently used to connect hydraulic remote cylinders and other hydraulic devices on implements to agricultural tractors. 1.1.2 To permit interchangeable use of various makes of implements using remote cylinders and other hydraulic devices on various makes of agricultural tractors when both are designed for this use. 1.2 This Standard is applicable only to implements and agricultural tractors intended for interchangeable use. 1.3 This Standard species only available hydraulic pressure. Coupler dimensions are specied in ASAE Standard S366, Dimensions for Cylindrical Hydraulic Couplers for Agricultural Tractors.

2 Denitions
2.1 Coupler pair: A pair of female hydraulic couplers compatible with male couplers as specied in ASAE Standard S366, Dimensions for Cylindrical Hydraulic Couplers for Agricultural Tractors. Coupler pairs are mounted on agricultural tractors and are connected to the hydraulic system to allow ow from one coupler and to simultaneously allow ow into the other coupler. 2.2 Available differential pressure: The steady state difference in hydraulic pressure between two male couplers connected to a coupler pair. 2.3 Rated operating pressure: The maximum steady state hydraulic pressure at either male coupler connected to a coupler pair. 2.4 Relief valve pressure: The set point of a relief valve when one is used in a tractor hydraulic system to limit the pressure at the coupler pair. 2.5 Peak pressure: The peak hydraulic pressure at either male coupler connected to a coupler pair.

5 Test Procedure
5.1 A test cycle shall consist of extending the cylinder its total stroke. The operator should use the valve detent when practical. When the tractor has no detent or the detent releases, the operator should hold the tractor valve fully open. The travel shall be stopped by the cylinder coming to the end of its stroke. The ow metering valve shall be adjusted to attain the desired cycle time. A test run shall be made at each of the following cycle times: 5.1.1 Full extension in 305 s. 5.1.2 Full extension in the minimum possible time. 5.2 The results shall be recorded as follows: 5.2.1 The available differential pressure shall be the steady state average differential pressure observed during the test run specied in paragraph 5.1.1. 5.2.2 The rated operating pressure shall be the average steady state pressure observed during the test run specied in paragraph 5.1.1 near the coupler attached to the cap end of the cylinder.

3 Specications
3.1 The available differential pressure at minimum available ow shall be at least 16 000 kPa (2 320 psi). 3.2 The rate operating pressure shall not be greater than 20 000 kPa (2 900 psi). 3.3 The maximum relief valve pressure shall not be greater than 25 000 kPa (3 625 psi). 3.4 The peak pressure shall not be greater than 29 000 kPa (4 205 psi).

4 Test Conditions
4.1 The tractor shall be connected to a double acting cylinder without a cushion through a pair of 2 500100 mm (98.43.9 in.) long sections of hydraulic hose having a nominal inside diameter of 10 mm (0.375 in.) and being of a suitable construction such as hose SAE 100R2 as specied in SAE Standard J517, Hydraulic Hose. The cylinder dimensions being 805 mm (3.150.20 in.) bore, 305 mm (1.180.20 in.) rod and a 20010 mm (7.870.39 in.) stroke.
