Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Fluid Power Fittings, Hoses and Hose Assemblies Sectional Committee had been approved by the Basic and
Production Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1978 and designated as IS 8805 (Part 1). At that time the standard was
intended to be published in three parts. The other two parts of the standard contemplated to be formulated were:
Part 2 Survey of coupling assemblies and assembly procedure
Part 3 Test requirements
With the advancement of technology and its uses, it was decided to revise the standard and to bring it in line with
the present practices prevalent in the industry. While taking up revision of this standard it was decided to
publish it as single standard without any part as standard on survey of coupling assemblies and assembly
procedure was not needed by the industry at present and for test requirements for ferrule type couplings another
1S 10103:1982 Method for test for ferrule type couplings used in oil-hydraulic systems has already been
formulated. In this revision the following major changes have been made:
a) Title of the standard has been modified by deleting Part No.;
b) Working pressure has been indicated in bar in Table 2;
c) Metric thread sizes at pordstud end and taper pipe thread and taper metric thread sizes at stud end have
been added in Table 2; and
d) Following two new tables have been added:
1) Table 4 Dimensions for ports with metric thread, and
2) Table 6 Dimensions for stud end with parallel and taper metric thread.
While formulating
Standards:

this standard, considerable

assistance has been derived from the following

International

a) DIN 2353: 1991 Compression fittings and couplings,

b) DIN 3852 (Part 1): 1992 Stud ends and tapped holes with metric fine pitch thread, for use with compression
couplings, valves and screw plugs Dimensions, and
c) DIN 3852 (Part 2): 1991 Stud ends and tapped holes with pipe thread, for use with compression couplings,
valves and screw plugs Dimensions.

provisions of this standard. At the time of publication,
the editions indicated were valid. All standards are
subject to revision, and parties to agreements based
on this standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the

4 WORKING

4.1 A coupling body, a coupling nut and a ferrule when

assembled with a tube forms a joint. After the alignment
of the body, nut and ferrule with the tube, the nut is
progressively tightened causing the ferrule to move
along with the nut. On tightening, the force exerted
uniformly makes the ferrule to bite onto the tube. Thus
the ferrule is made to throw up in front of it a ridge of
displaced metal, which acts as a metallic interlock and
gives the joint the pressure holding quality
(see
Fig. 1 and 2).

4.2 On making of the joint, the ferrule is altered in

shape and its leading edge becomes embedded in the
tube. When the joint is broken, the ferrule remains
permanently attached to the tube end, and because of
this, the joint can be dismantled and re-made without
affecting sealing characteristics for a number of times.
In addition to acting as a sealing member, the ferrule
also functions as a spring washer between the nut, the
body portion and the surface of the tube which helps
the joint to remain pressure tight even during heavy
vibrations.

Tubes having the outside diameter and tolerances
specified in Table 1 and suitable to withstand the
desired pressure shall be chosen.
