BS 7388:1991

This standard BS 7388:1991 Guide for prevention of leaks from hydraulic fluid power systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.100.01 Fluid power systems in general

This British Standard provides guidance on the design of hydraulic systems and their installations with a view to minimizing external leakage of fluids and is intended to provide guidance on the way the design specification should define how the customer’s requirements in respect of leakage are to be met.

This standard encompasses system specification, circuit design considerations, component specification, pipework design, installation procedures and commissioning.

This standard is not concerned with aspects of systems other than those which relate to leakage and excludes aerospace application and design of hydraulic components.

NOTE The publications referred to in this standard are listed on page 28.
