This European Standard specifies requirements for four
types of wire braid reinforced hoses and hose
assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 51. They are
suitable for use with:
± hydraulic fluids in accordance with ISO 6743-4 with
the exception of HFD R, HFD S and HFD T at
temperatures ranging from 240 ÊC to +100 ÊC;
± water based fluids at temperatures ranging
from 240 ÊC to +70 ÊC;
± water at temperatures ranging from 0 ÊC to +70 ÊC
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.
