What is BS EN 16436‑2 – Rubber and plastics hoses, tubing about?
BS EN 16436‑2 is a European standard on rubber and plastics hoses that specifies the characteristics and performance requirement that helps in designing and assembling the rubber and plastics hoses which help in transferring the liquid and gases from one place to another.
BS EN 16436‑2 describes and specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for assemblies made of tubing and hoses complying with EN 16436-1:2014+A2:2018 to be used in the same conditions.
Note: BS EN 16436‑2 only defines specific connections which are not defined in other standards (e.g. EN 16129).
Who is BS EN 16436‑2 - Assembling rubber and plastics hoses for?
BS EN 16436‑2 on rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies are relevant to:
- Manufacturer of rubber and plastics hoses, tubing, and assemblies
Why should you use BS EN 16436‑2 - Assembling rubber and plastics hoses?
A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. These rubber and plastic hoses are used in transporting fluids and gases.
BS EN 16436‑2 helps in classifying the hoses and tubings for assembling the rubber and plastics hoses. With the help of dimensions mentioned in BS EN 16436‑2, you can efficiently design the coupling in such a way that it can be secured at a minimum of one end without the necessity of turning the hose or tubing its mating piece. The corrosion test provided in BS EN 16436‑2, is useful in resisting the corrosion of clamps.
BS EN 16436‑2 specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for assembling the rubber and plastics hoses. The packaging and marking system specified in BS EN 16436‑2 helps in sustaining the rubber and plastics hoses for a long period in different conditions.
