The scope of SAE J3143 will cover non-metallic line assemblies intended for containing and circulating lubricant (PAG@ POE compressor oils)@ liquid@ and gaseous R-134a@ R-152a@ or R-1234yf refrigerant in automotive air-conditioning systems. SAE J3143 will also provide the necessary hose permeation values used in SAE J2727 mobile air-conditioning system refrigerant emission charts. The assembly shall be designed to minimize permeation of the refrigerant@ contamination of the system@ and to be functional over a temperature range of -30 to 125 ?? Specific construction details are to be agreed upon between user and supplier.
