The Task Force was established September 2008 to create a standard which defines the tube flare (90-degree double inverted flare), tube nut and port for 5, 6, and 8mm (3/16", 1/4" and 5/16") high pressure hydraulic connections, in a single document. Dimensional definitions will take into account industry experience with the joint in terms of improving manufacturability, first-time sealing robustness, and commonality of usage across OEMs and component manufacturers.
