1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements for four types of textile-reinforced thermoplastics collapsible water hoses for general applications for use in the temperature range of −10 °C to 55 °C. Such hoses are classified into four types, as follows:
-
— low pressure, designed for a maximum working pressure of up to 0,4 MPa (4,0 bar) at 23 °C and up to 0,2 MPa (2,0 bar) at 55 °C;
-
— medium pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 0,7 MPa (7,0 bar) at 23 °C and up to 0,36 MPa (3,6 bar) at 55 °C;
-
— high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,0 MPa (10,0 bar) at 23 °C and up to 0,51 MPa (5,1 bar) at 55 °C;
-
— extra-high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,55 MPa (15,5 bar) at 23 °C and up to 0,79 MPa (7,9 bar) at 55 °C.
This International Standard does not apply to products used for fire-fighting or the conveyance of drinking water.
