What is BS EN 16436‑1 about?
BS EN 16436‑1 specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for tubing and hoses made of either rubber or plastics for use with commercial propane and commercial butane and mixtures thereof, in the vapour phase, for connection of appliances, from:
- Pressurized gas container to a regulating device
- Pressurized gas container to an appliance
- Regulating device to an appliance
- Regulating device to installation pipework
In environments of a temperature range from –30 °C to +70 °C. Working pressures are from 0 bar to 30 bar.
BS EN 16436‑1 only covers the tubing or hose part of assemblies. The assemblies themselves will be covered by EN 16436-2.
Note: BS EN 16436‑1 does not apply to hoses for welding purposes, propulsion purposes, and LPG transfer purposes.
Who is BS EN 16436‑1 for?
BS EN 16436‑1 on rubber and plastics hoses is applicable to:
- Rubber and plastics tubing and hoses manufacturers
- Automobile manufacturers
- Petrochemical industry
- Industrial gasses industry
- Chemical Industry
- HVAC
Why should you use BS EN 16436‑1?
Rubber or plastic tubes or hoses are generally used to move or transport gases or liquids. Knowledge of the right usage of each type of hose or tubes is important to get the most out of it.
Following the requirements in BS EN 16436‑1 will assist you in designing Rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies for use with propane and butane as well as reducing costs in the manufacturing of Rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies. And contribute to the standardization of the manufacturing processes for Rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies for use with propane and butane applications.
By adopting BS EN 16436‑1 guidelines you will be able to manufacture high-quality and efficient rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies for use with propane and butane applications. BS EN 16436-1 helps you to improve the performance and reliability of these products.
BS EN 16436‑1 provides you a better classification for rubber and plastics hoses for propane and butane connection of appliances and improves the performance of rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies.
