Describes requirements for three types of textile reinforced rubber hoses and hose assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 100.

This European Standard specifies requirements for three types of textile reinforced rubber hoses and hose assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 100. The types are defined in Clause3. They are suitable for use with: hydraulic fluids in accordance with ISO6743‑4 with the exception of HRD R, HFD S and HFD at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C; water-based fluids at temperatures ranging from -40°C to+70°C; water at temperature ranging from 0°C to+70°C. The European Standard does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies. NOTE1 The hoses are not suitable for use with castor oil based and ester based fluids. NOTE2 Hoses and hose assemblies are not be operated outside the limits of this standard. NOTE3 Requirements for hydraulic hoses for underground mining are standardized in separate standards.
