Under these specifications, the manufacture of the hose shall have all necessary test facilities to perform all the required performance tests. The method of testing shall be in accordance with the specific test requirements.
The jacket shall be evenly and firmly woven and free from visible defects, thread knots, lumps and irregularities of twist.
The threads shall be continuous. The warp will consist of high strength staple polyester yarns. The weft or filler polyester yarn will be high strength, low elongation filament polyester.
The woven jacket's abrasion resistance is enhanced by polymer colored impregnation available in red, green, orange, yellow, blue, black and tan. Color will be uniform throughout the length of each hose. Cost for color impregnation is additional.
The rubber liner shall EPDM and a single ply extrusion. The liner shall be free of imperfections. Urethane liners are not acceptable.
Under prescribed test procedures, the ultimate elongation, when a break occurs, shall not be less than 500%.
Under prescribed test procedures, the ultimate tensile strength of the rubber liner shall not be less than 1600 PSI.
The internal diameter of the unpressurized hose shall not be less than the trade size of the hose.
When under a hydrostatic pressure of 10 PSI, each hose length shall measure not less than 50 feet when measured from the back of the coupling at one end of the hose length to the back of the coupling at the end of the other hose length.
degrees per foot. All these must be to the right. No twist to the left is permitted.
Under the hydrostatic test, no rise if allowed.
of the hose assembly. The hose shall not warp more than 10 inches from either side of the straight line.
When under hydrostatic pressure testing, the elongation of the hose shall not exceed 8%.
slippage, leakage, or damage of the couplings.
A three foot length of hose lying straight from each lot of 5,000 feet shall withstand a hydrostatic pressure of 1200 PSI without rupturing the hose or breaking of any thread in the jacket or reinforcement.
A three foot length of hose, while kinked, shall withstand a hydrostatic pressure of 800 PSI without leakage, rupturing or breaking of any thread in the jacket or reinforcement.
Couplings of lightweight aluminum will be installed. Hose assemblies shall withstand a hydrostatic proof-pressure of 800 PSI for 10 minutes without slippage or leakage of the couplings or damage to the hose at the coupling.
