What is ISO 23384 - Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies about?
ISO 23384 specifies requirements for two types of reinforced hoses and hose assemblies of nominal size from 3,2 to 25, dependent on the relation of minimum burst pressure to maximum working pressure. Each type is divided into classes dependent on maximum working pressure.
Note: 1They are suitable for use with:
- Oil-based hydraulic fluids HH, HL, HM, HR, and HV as defined in ISO 6743‑4 at temperatures ranging from −40 °C to +100 °C
- Water-based fluids HFC, HFAE, HFAS, and HFB as defined in ISO 6743‑4 at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C
- Water at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C. Such hoses and hose assemblies are intended to be used for water jetting and water blasting applications, hydraulic applications
Note 2: ISO 23384 does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies
Note 3: 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
NOTE 4: For hydraulic jacks with manually driven pumps, hoses and hose assemblies per ISO 16301 can be used
Who is ISO 23384 - Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies for?
ISO 23384 on Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies is useful for:
- Hoses and hose assemblies’ manufacturers and distributors
- Entities dealing plastic hose assembly and hoses
- Product development / innovation / research teams
- Quality control teams
Why should you use ISO 23384 - Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies?
Hose assemblies with the hoses according to ISO 23384 are often used in applications where a hose assembly is located close to an operator and protection measures like rigid screens or covers are not possible.
In addition, they are often subjected to external mechanical impacts. Protecting measures including, but not limited to bend stiffeners, protection hoses, additional hose covers shall always be used and may be omitted only in justified cases (e.g., tube cleaning or robotic water-jetting). Enhance the quality of the hoses and hose assemblies with ISO 23384 which provides information of requirements for two types of reinforced hoses and hose assemblies of nominal size from 3,2 to 25, dependent on relation of minimum burst pressure to maximum working pressure.
