This European Standard specifies requirements for five types of textile reinforced rubber hoses and hose assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 100. They are suitable for use with:
- hydraulic fluids in accordance with ISO 6743-4 with the exception of HRD R, HFD S and HFD T at temperatures ranging from -40 ℃ to +100 ℃;
- water-based fluids at temperatures ranging from -40 ℃ to +70 ℃;
- water at temperatures ranging from 0 ℃ to +70 ℃.
The standard does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies.
NOTE 1. The hoses are not suitable for use with castor oil-based
and ester-based fluids.
NOTE 2. Hoses and hose assemblies should not be operated
outside the limits of this standard.
NOTE 3. Requirements for hydraulic hoses for underground
mining are standardized in separate standards.
