Full title and description
ISO 5598:2020 — Fluid power systems and components — Vocabulary. This international standard (3rd edition) provides a controlled, trilingual vocabulary (English, French, German) for terms and definitions used in hydraulic and pneumatic (fluid power) systems and components; it excludes aerospace applications and compressed-air supply installations.
Abstract
ISO 5598:2020 establishes standardized terminology for fluid power (hydraulic and pneumatic) systems and components to ensure consistent use of terms across design, manufacturing, documentation and standards work. The document gives definitions, classification notes, adjectival qualifiers and multilingual indexes to support unambiguous technical communication. Exclusions specifically noted are aerospace applications and compressed-air supply installations.

Scope
ISO 5598:2020 defines and standardizes the vocabulary used for fluid power systems and components in industrial and commercial applications. It covers general terms, definitions of frequently used adjectives and nouns, classification notes, and multilingual (English/French/German) indexes to support harmonized terminology across documentation, drawings and standards. The scope excludes aerospace-specific applications and central compressed-air supply installations.
Key topics and requirements
- Comprehensive trilingual vocabulary (English, French, German) for hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components.
- Clear definitions of general terms, common adjectives and nouns used in fluid power contexts (e.g., terms that distinguish hydraulic-only or pneumatic-only usages).
- Classification notes and usage qualifiers that indicate technology applicability (hydraulic only / pneumatic only / both).
- Normative references and cross-references to related fluid-power standards and symbol documents.
- Alphabetical indexes in each language to aid lookup and multilingual correspondence.
Typical use and users
Engineers, designers and technicians working on hydraulic and pneumatic systems use ISO 5598:2020 to ensure consistent terminology in specifications, drawings, maintenance manuals and test reports. Manufacturers, technical authors, standards committees, procurement specialists and vocational educators also rely on this vocabulary to avoid ambiguity in product data, contracts and training materials. Technical libraries and standards offices keep the standard as a reference resource.
Related standards
ISO 5598 is closely related to other ISO fluid-power documents that cover symbols, safety rules and system requirements. Notable related standards include ISO 1219-1 (graphical symbols and circuit-diagram rules), ISO 4413 (hydraulic fluid power — general rules and safety requirements) and ISO 4414 (pneumatic fluid power — general rules and safety requirements). The 2020 edition replaces the previous ISO 5598:2008 vocabulary.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 5598:2020 is the third edition of the international vocabulary standard for fluid power systems and components, providing standardized terms and definitions in English, French and German for hydraulic and pneumatic technology.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers general terminology, definitions of frequently used adjectives and nouns, classification notes, usage qualifiers (e.g., hydraulic-only or pneumatic-only), and multilingual indexes; it does not cover aerospace applications or central compressed-air supply installations.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Users include design and application engineers, component manufacturers, technical writers, standards committees, procurement and quality personnel, and educators involved with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 5598:2020 (3rd edition) supersedes ISO 5598:2008. The 2020 edition is the current published edition according to ISO bibliographic records. Standards are subject to periodic review by ISO.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: ISO 5598 is part of the body of ISO documents maintained by ISO/TC 131 (fluid power) and is commonly used alongside related parts and standards (for example ISO 1219 series for symbols and ISO 4413/4414 for hydraulic/pneumatic system rules). It is not a sequential "part" of a single multi-part title but a companion vocabulary standard referenced by many fluid-power standards.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Key keywords are: fluid power, vocabulary, terminology, hydraulic, pneumatic, ISO 5598, component names, definitions, trilingual index.
