Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10380 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 5, Ferrous metal pipes and metallic fittings,
Subcommittee SC 11, Flexible metallic hoses and expansion joints.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10380:1994), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
It was decided to produce an International Standard under the Vienna Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in order to maintain one document. The
opportunity was taken to re-format the document and to add additional information which was not available for
the first edition of ISO 10380.
The major changes to the standard are
 introduction of an extra flexibility type;
 reduction in the average number of cycles before failure in the cyclic test;
 introduction of a cyclic test for hoses in the size range DN 125 to DN 300;
 introduction of nickel materials;
 increased requirement for information to be supplied by the purchaser;
 the temperature derating factors have been modified based on values in ISO 9328-5;
 introduction of the requirement for the provision of adequate user instructions;
 the addition of equivalent European standards including those for materials and the corresponding
temperature derating factors which are given in Annex A.
This International Standard is a base standard for hose and hose assemblies for general purposes. Other
International Standards for specific applications are in preparation.
