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 ƒ{10 ¢XC to ƒy55 ¢XC.
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 ¢XC and up to 0,2 MPa (2,0 bar) at 55 ¢XC;
– medium pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 0,7 MPa (7,0 bar) at 23 ¢XC and up to
0,36 MPa (3,6 bar) at 55 ¢XC;
– high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,0 MPa (10,0 bar) at 23 ¢XC and up to 0,51 MPa (5,1 bar) at 55 ¢XC;
– extra-high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,55 MPa (15,5 bar) at 23 ¢XC and up to 0,79 MPa (7,9 bar) at 55 ¢XC.
This standard does not apply to products used for fire-fighting or the conveyance of drinking water.
