ANSI/(NFPA)T3.6.29 R2-2000 (R2006)
Tie rod or bolted cylinder - Pressure rating supplement to NFPA/T2.6.1 R2-2000, Fluid power components - Method for verifying the fatigue and establishing the burst pressure ratings of the metal pressure containing envelope of a tie rod or bolted cylinder
This standard provides: test & statistical methods for generating fatigue distribution data; test & statistical methods for conducting a verification of the pressure ratings on tie rod or bolted cylinder; common requirements & an industry-wide philosophy in judging one type of pressure capability for fluid power tie rod or bolted cylinders; uniform methods of product comparison. Follow NFPA/T2.6.1 R1. This standard encourages manufacturers to use this common method to enhance the credibility of their pressure ratings.
