What is ISO 8434-1 - 24° cone connectors about?
ISO 8434 is a series of metallic tube connections for fluid power and general use. Metallic tube connections connect runs of tubing (for in-line, offset, multi-port, and mounting configurations) to other tubing sections, pipe, hose, or other components.
ISO 8434-1 is the first part of the ISO 8434 series of documents that specifies the general and dimensional requirements for 24° cone connectors using the cutting ring and O‑ring seal cone (referred to as DKO) suitable for use with ferrous and non-ferrous tubes with outside diameters from 4 mm to 42 mm inclusive.
These connectors are for use in fluid power and general applications within the limits of pressure and temperature specified in ISO 8434-1 .
ISO 8434-1 also specifies a performance and qualification test for these connectors.

Why should you use ISO 8434-1 - 24° cone connectors ?
In fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a fluid (liquid or gas) under pressure within an enclosed circuit. In general applications, a fluid may be conveyed under pressure. Components may be connected through their ports by connections (connectors) an...
