This International Standard specifies the requirements for general-purpose textile-reinforced thermoplastics
water-discharge hoses.
Three types of hose are specified according to their operating duty requirements, i.e. their ambient and water
temperature ranges:
ambient temperatures: 10 C to +60 C;
water temperature during operation: 0 C to +60 C.
NOTE At water temperatures above 23 C and particularly above 40 C, the maximum working pressure will be reduced.
These hoses are not intended to be used for conveyance of potable (drinking) water, for washing-machine
inlets, as fire-fighting hoses, for special agricultural machines or as gardening hoses for the consumer market.
