This standard specifies the minimum criteria for the design and verification of the performance of kinematic joints in solar thermal power plants with parabolic trough collector technology. It also includes guidelines or aspects to be considered for the installation of these components in the solar field. In particular, it includes: - Design criteria, instructions and manufacturer's tests. - Installation criteria for kinematic joints. - Load loss test - Stress and longitudinal displacements and rotations test - Thermal cycle test - Life cycle test - Maximum torque test - Leakage verification test It is considered as components of kinematic joints: - Rotary joints - Flexible tubes - Rotoflexible pipes Other equipment and other services not explicitly mentioned in this document are outside the scope of this standard.
