GOST 18464-96 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 18464-96 — Hydraulic fluid power. Hydraulic cylinders. Acceptance rules and test methods. The standard establishes acceptance rules and detailed test methods for piston, plunger and telescopic hydraulic cylinders used in fluid power systems (nominal pressure up to 40 MPa).

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard specifies requirements and procedures for acceptance, periodic and type testing of finished hydraulic cylinders: strength, functional performance (including idle/run tests), external and internal leakage, rod sealing and rod leakage, starting and no-load pressures, push/pull forces, speed and efficiency checks, and endurance/resource testing. It excludes cylinders for automatic control systems, rotating cylinders and cylinders intended to be used as supports.

General information

• Status: Adopted as an interstate GOST; catalog entries vary — listed as active in some national registries and as withdrawn in some commercial catalogs (see notes).
• Publication date: Designation year 1996 (GOST 18464-96); date of introduction into effect: 1 January 2002.
• Publisher: Interstate/межгосударственный standard issued under the EASC/GOST system; developed by technical committee MTC 76 with participation of ЦНИИСК and НИИЖБ.
• ICS / categories: ICS 23.100.20 — Hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components (cylinders).
• Edition / version: GOST 18464-96 (1996 edition; replaced earlier GOST 18464-87).
• Number of pages: Approximately 12 pages (document listings and commercial catalogs report a 12-page PDF).

Scope

The standard applies to piston, plunger and telescopic hydraulic cylinders intended for volumetric hydraulic drives with nominal pressures up to 40 MPa. It sets out the rules for acceptance and methods for conducting acceptance (factory), periodic and type tests of finished products. Exclusions include cylinders for automatic control systems, rotating cylinders and cylinders intended to operate as supports. The requirements in the standard are mandatory for the products and tests it covers.

Key topics and requirements

• Acceptance rules and sampling for factory acceptance and delivery.
• Test types: acceptance, periodic and type testing; transferability of base-model test results to modifications.
• Strength and pressure tests (proof pressure), functional performance tests (idle/run), and starting/no-load pressures.
• Leakage tests: external leakage at fixed joints and internal leakage assessment.
• Mechanical performance: push/pull force measurements, piston/rod speed, overall and mechanical efficiency.
• Endurance/resource tests, run-to-failure and service-life related checks.
• Requirements for test stands and instrumentation; recommended test stand schematics provided in informative annexes.

Typical use and users

Primary users are hydraulic-cylinder manufacturers, quality-control and test laboratories, procurement and inspection authorities, design engineers and organizations responsible for acceptance testing of hydraulic equipment for industrial, mobile and construction machinery. The standard is used to verify conformity of finished cylinders before shipment and to define periodic verification schedules.

Related standards

Related and neighboring standards include GOST 16514-96 (Hydraulic cylinders — General technical requirements), GOST 25020 (cylinder dimensions and thread specifications), and various GOST/ISO documents covering seals, mounts and test methods for hydraulic components. The 1996 edition of GOST 18464 replaced the 1987 version (GOST 18464-87).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is an interstate GOST standard (GOST 18464-96) that defines acceptance rules and laboratory/bench test methods for hydraulic cylinders used in fluid power systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers acceptance, periodic and type tests for piston, plunger and telescopic hydraulic cylinders (nominal pressure up to 40 MPa), including strength, leakage, functional performance, force and efficiency measurements, and endurance tests; it excludes rotating cylinders, control-system cylinders and support cylinders.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, QA/QC personnel, procurement inspectors and design engineers working with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 18464-96 (designation year 1996) was introduced into effect on 1 January 2002 and replaced the 1987 edition. Commercial listings and registries differ on present status—some catalogues mark it withdrawn while national registries list it as active—so users should verify current legal/adopted status in the specific country or registry where they operate.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of a set of GOST documents addressing hydraulic fluid power and cylinders (general technical requirements, dimensional standards, seals and mounting standards) and references other GOSTs covering related components and test procedures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hydraulic cylinders, acceptance rules, test methods, leakage, proof pressure, endurance, piston, plunger, telescopic, fluid power.
