scope:

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the abrasion resistance of the outer cover of rubber hoses. This method is intended primarily for testing hydraulic hoses having textile or wire reinforcement and a nominally smooth and parallel cover, and other hoses of a similar type. The method is not intended for predicting product abrasion life, but is suitable for the comparison of quality levels. This International Standard does not specify the number of cycles which should be completed in each test; this number will be specified in the appropriate product specification.
