What is ISO 2026:2020 Aircraft — Connections for starting engines by air
ISO 2026:2020 specifies requirements for connections for starting aircraft piston engines by air, and includes the following components:
Hose connections: The standard specifies the requirements for hoses used for starting aircraft piston engines by air. This includes the dimensions, materials, and pressure ratings of the hoses.
Couplings: The standard specifies the requirements for couplings used to connect hoses to aircraft engine starters. This includes the dimensions, materials, and thread types of the couplings.
Adaptors: The standard specifies the requirements for adaptors used to connect hoses to aircraft engine starters that have different thread types. This includes the dimensions and materials of the adaptors.
Clamps: The standard specifies the requirements for clamps used to secure hoses to aircraft engine starters and adaptors. So, this includes the materials and dimensions of the clamps.
Therefore, ISO 2026 ensures that connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air are safe, reliable, and compatible with different types of engine starters. The standard helps to reduce the risk of accidents or damage to aircraft that can occur during the starting process.
Requirements of ISO 2026:2020
The requirements of ISO 2026:2020 for connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air include:
Hose connections:
· The hoses must be able to withstand the pressure and temperature of the air used to start the engine.
· The hoses must be compatible with the materials used in the couplings and adaptors.
· The hoses must be long enough to reach the engine starter.
Couplings:
· The couplings must be made of materials that are compatible with the hoses and adaptors.
· The couplings must have the correct thread type to fit the engine starter.
Adaptors:
· The adaptors must be made of materials that are compatible with the hoses and couplings.
· The adaptors must have the correct thread type to fit the engine starter.
Clamps:
· The clamps must be made of materials that are compatible with the hoses and adaptors.
· The clamps must be strong enough to securely hold the hoses in place during the starting process.
In addition, ISO 2026 specifies requirements for the markings, identification, and testing of connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air. The standard also provides guidance on the installation and maintenance of these connections. Thus, this standard ensures that connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air are safe, and reliable. Also, compatible with different types of engine starters.
Benefits of this standard
The benefits of ISO 2026 for connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air include:
Safety: The standard ensures that connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air are safe and reliable. Reducing the risk of accidents or damage to aircraft during the starting process.
Compatibility: The standard specifies the dimensions, materials, and thread types of hoses, couplings, and adaptors. To ensure that they are compatible with different types of engine starters.
Standardisation: The standard provides a common set of requirements and guidance for the design, installation. Also, maintenance of connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air. This helps to promote standardisation and consistency in the aviation industry.
Quality: The standard includes requirements for the testing, markings, and identification of connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air. So, this helps to ensure that they are of high quality and meet the required standards.
In addition, ISO 2026:2020 helps to ensure the safety, reliability, and compatibility of connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air, contributing to the smooth and efficient operation of aircraft.
Who needs ISO 2026:2020?
ISO 2026:2020 intends for use by manufacturers, suppliers, and operators of aircraft piston engines. As well as maintenance personnel and organizations responsible for maintaining aircraft engines.
It is also relevant for regulatory bodies and other organizations involved in the certification and oversight of aircraft and aviation equipment. Hence, The standard is applicable to connections used for starting aircraft piston engines by air, regardless of the size or type of aircraft or engine
