This European Standard specifies requirements for five types of textile reinforced rubber hoses and hose assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 100. The types are defined in Clause 3. They are suitable for use with: hydraulic fluids in accordance with ISO 6743-4 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 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.
