Military Hydraulic System Requirements

To meet the military hydraulic system requirements for construction equipment, the Engineer Research and Development Laboratories has initiated a hydraulic program to develop minimum standards of system and component acceptance through the media of performance specifications. The program will also establish a standardization of system types and of component mounting and port configuration. Such standardization, including hoses, tubing, and couplings, is intended to simplify maintenance and logistical support of hydraulic systems.
