A separate Standard, AS 2117, provides for hoses used for transferring liquid petroleum products to and from marine tankers or bunkering vessels or for similar duties ashore.2. For product temperatures above 65¦C, the manufacturer should be consulted for special conditions applicable to the use of the hose.3. Guidelines and advice on information to be supplied at the time of placing an enquiry or an order are set out in Appendix A.4. A guide to the user of hose assemblies for continued in-service performance has been included as Appendix F. This guide does not form an integral part of the Standard.
