Overview
oSIST prEN 14420-7:2026 is a European draft standard issued by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST). It specifies requirements for cam locking couplings used with hose fittings equipped with clamp units. These couplings play a crucial role in connecting hoses to a wide range of process or transportation systems for the transfer of liquids, solids, and gases (excluding liquid gas and steam). The standard provides guidelines for design, material selection, dimensions, and marking of cam locking couplings, helping ensure safety, interchangeability, and performance in industrial and commercial hose assembly applications.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
Cam locking couplings covered by this standard are intended for use with various media other than liquid gas and steam. The standard applies to multiple materials and nominal sizes, ensuring a broad range of utility.Pressure and Temperature Ranges
- For all aluminium cast couplings and those of size DN 100, the working pressure range is from −0.8 bar (vacuum) to 10 bar, within a temperature span of −20 °C to +65 °C.
- Other couplings compliant with this standard can operate at pressures from 0.8 bar to 16 bar across the same temperature range.
Design and Construction
Cam arms must be manually operable, able to be securely fastened and disconnected by hand, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection under vibration. Specific attention is paid to harmonizing components to prevent leaks and twisting under operational stress.Material Specifications
Approved materials for coupling bodies include copper-zinc alloys, copper-tin alloys, aluminium alloys, and stainless steels in accordance with referenced EN standards, ensuring longevity and resistance to conveyed substances.Marking Requirements
Essential information-including standard reference, material, type, size, manufacturer’s mark, and pressure rating-is required to be visibly marked on cam locking coupling bodies.Type Testing and Quality Control
Compliance with EN 14420-1 for type testing and quality assurance helps maintain consistent product quality and safety.
Applications
These standardized cam locking couplings are widely used in:
- Industrial hose assemblies for transferring water, chemicals, powders, fuels, and non-steam industrial gases.
- Agriculture and irrigation systems requiring quick, secure hose connections for fluid transport.
- Construction and civil engineering sites for efficient transfer of bulk solids and liquids.
- Processing plants where modular hose coupling is needed for flexibility and ease of cleaning or maintenance.
- Transport systems, such as tanker trucks and railcars, to facilitate fast loading and unloading with reliable sealing.
Their quick-connect/disconnect action and assured compatibility between compliant manufacturers make them essential for operations requiring frequent assembly and disassembly.
