Full title and description

ISO 10041-2:2010 — Pneumatic fluid power — Electro-pneumatic continuous flow control valves — Part 2: Test methods to determine main characteristics to include in the supplier's literature. This part specifies standardized test procedures and a method of presenting test results for the parameters that define the main characteristics to be published in supplier literature for electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves.

Abstract

ISO 10041-2:2010 defines the test methods and presentation format for measured parameters that characterise electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves, so that supplier data are comparable and the valves can be properly applied in pneumatic systems. The standard focuses on laboratory test procedures and the way results are reported in supplier literature.

Scope

This part of ISO 10041 specifies test procedures and a method of presenting results for the parameters that define the main characteristics to be included in supplier literature for electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves. It is intended to make supplier data comparable and to assist correct selection and application of these valves in pneumatic systems. (It applies to electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves as defined by ISO 5598 and is limited to the valve types covered in the ISO 10041 series.)

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized laboratory test procedures for determining flow/control characteristics (steady-state and where applicable dynamic response).
• Measurement and reporting of parameters that define valve behaviour: flow vs control signal, pressure differential effects, linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and leakage (as applicable).
• Conditions and reference atmospheres for testing (test rig setup, inlet/outlet conditions and measurement instrumentation requirements).
• Format and required content for presenting results in supplier literature to ensure comparability between products.
• Identification statements and references to the relevant part of the ISO 10041 series to be included in product documentation.

The above topics summarise the main requirements and typical parameter sets defined or implied by the test-method focus of this part.

Typical use and users

Primary users include valve manufacturers (for product data and verification), independent test laboratories, procurement/specification engineers, systems integrators and designers of pneumatic systems who need comparable supplier data to select and apply electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves. Standards committees and conformity assessment bodies also use the document when defining test regimes and product literature requirements.

Related standards

ISO 10041 is a multi‑part series — Part 1 (ISO 10041‑1:2010) covers the main characteristics to include in supplier literature, while Part 2 (this document) covers the test methods. Other relevant or cross‑referenced standards include vocabulary and reference standards used by fluid power committees (for example ISO 5598 — fluid power vocabulary) and related parts for electro‑pneumatic pressure control valves (for example the ISO 10094 series). See national standards bodies and ISO bibliographic records for the authoritative list of referenced documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10041-2:2010 is the second part of the ISO 10041 series; it specifies test methods and how to present measured parameters for electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves so that supplier literature is consistent and comparable.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers laboratory test procedures and the method of presenting results for the parameters that define the main characteristics of electro‑pneumatic continuous flow control valves (e.g., flow vs control signal, effects of pressure differential, hysteresis, repeatability and leakage where relevant). It does not replace the descriptive characteristics in Part 1, but complements them by defining how those characteristics are determined and reported.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Valve manufacturers, test laboratories, procurement/specification engineers, system designers and standards bodies use this standard to test products and publish comparable supplier data.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10041‑2:2010 was published in October 2010 (Edition 1). According to the ISO bibliographic record it was last reviewed and confirmed in 2021, and remains the current edition at the time of that review. Users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any subsequent revisions after that review date.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10041 is a multi‑part standard. Part 1 (ISO 10041‑1:2010) defines the main characteristics to include in supplier literature, and Part 2 (this document) provides the test methods for those characteristics. Other related series (e.g., ISO 10094) cover electro‑pneumatic pressure control valves.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: electro‑pneumatic, continuous flow control, valve testing, supplier literature, flow characteristics, test methods, pneumatic fluid power.
