Scope

This Standard provides for hose up to and including 100 mm inside diameter and 2.6 MPa maximum working pressure.

• Appendix A contains recommendations and advice on information which should be provided by the purchaser at the time of placing an enquiry or order.
• A guide to the user for continued in-service performance of the hose assembly has been included as Appendix B. For the convenience of personnel undertaking in-service testing, the limits for continued acceptable performance of hose assemblies have been stated in the Appendix.
• This Standard does not specify requirements for LP Gas hose for welding, which is dealt with in AS 1335.
• Appendix X provides guidance for the use of hoses in LP Gas liquid injection systems that operate above 2.6 MPa.
