scope:

This document specifies the requirements for wire- or textile-reinforced hydraulic hose and hose assemblies used in heavy duty hydraulic tool applications of sizes ranging from 5 to 10. They are suitable for use with hydraulic fluids HH, HL, HM, HR and HV in accordance with ISO 6743-4 at temperature ranging from −20 and +55 °C.

This document does not include requirements for the connection ends. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies. The hose assembly maximum working pressure is regulated by the lowest maximum working pressure of the components.

Typical usage of this product includes, but is not limited to, applications where the hose is in close proximity to the operator, such as rescue tools and electrical utilities service tools, using hydraulic power units (electrical, pneumatic, etc.).

NOTE It is the responsibility of the user, in consultation with the hose manufacturer, to establish the compatibility of the hose with the fluid to be used.
