MIL-DTL-5513 Hydraulic Test for Swivel Joints

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of MIL-DTL-5513 testing. The swivel joints covered by this standard are designed to provide a connection between fluid conveying lines and a hydraulic unit.

MIL-DTL-5513 also refers to a military specification for hydraulic swivel joints. This specification covers requirements for hydraulic rotary joints used in military aircraft and ground equipment.

Hydraulic swivel joints are used to connect hydraulic lines to provide movement and flexibility while maintaining fluid flow. The swivel joint allows hydraulic lines to rotate and move without damaging lines or affecting fluid flow.

The MIL-DTL-5513 specification outlines the requirements for the design, materials, and testing of hydraulic swivel joints. Some of the basic requirements include:

• Material: The swivel joint should be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for use in harsh environments.
• Pressure rating: The swivel joint must be able to withstand the specified working pressure and be tested to at least 1,5 times the working pressure.
• Temperature range: The swivel joint must be able to operate within a certain temperature range.
• Leakage: The swivel joint must not leak liquid under the specified pressure and temperature conditions.
• Corrosion resistance: The swivel joint must be corrosion resistant and tested to ensure it meets this requirement.

Overall, the MIL-DTL-5513 specification sets high standards for the design and performance of hydraulic swivel joints used in military applications, ensuring they are reliable and durable under the toughest conditions.
