Overview

ISO 8913:2006 is an international procurement specification for lightweight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose assemblies used in aerospace fluid systems. It sets design, material, testing and quality-assurance requirements for PTFE hose assemblies intended for use in aircraft hydraulic and certain pneumatic systems across a temperature range of −55 °C to 204 °C (−65 °F to 400 °F). Assemblies are classified into two pressure ratings: Type A - 3 000 psi (20 684 kPa) and Type B - 21 000 kPa (3 046 psi). Use beyond these limits or in special media (for example, oxygen) requires purchaser approval.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & classification: Defines operating temperature and nominal pressure limits and classifies hose assemblies as Type A or Type B.
• Materials and construction: Requires a seamless PTFE inner tube, corrosion‑resistant steel wire reinforcement and corrosion‑resistant steel, nickel alloy or titanium fittings. Additives in PTFE are limited and specific metal grades are listed.
• Inner tube properties: Density, tensile strength, elongation (≥ 200 %) and tube-roll/proof-pressure performance are specified to ensure durability.
• Electrical conductivity: Minimum conductivity/current thresholds are defined by hose size to control static and leakage concerns.
• Dimensional & thread requirements: Prescribes hose, fitting and thread dimensions (imperial and metric), including UNJ/MJ thread standards.
• Testing & qualification: Covers manufacturer and product qualification, impulse and proof testing, tube roll, burst tests, and fire resistance where applicable.
• Quality assurance & inspection: Specifies sampling, inspection classification, traceability, marking, packaging and ordering data to ensure procurement consistency.

Applications and intended users

• Primary use: Aircraft hydraulic systems that require lightweight, high-temperature-resistant flexible lines.
• Secondary use: Certain aircraft pneumatic systems where limited gas diffusion through PTFE is acceptable (not recommended for high‑pressure pneumatic storage).
• Who uses ISO 8913:2006: Aircraft OEMs, MROs, procurement and quality engineers, hose and fitting manufacturers, designers of aerospace fluid systems, and certification/approval authorities. The standard is intended to ensure component interchangeability, safety of flight and consistent procurement quality.

Related standards

ISO 8913 references and aligns with multiple aerospace and test standards, including:

• ISO 8829 (PTFE hose test methods)
• ISO 7258 (PTFE tubing density)
• ISO 6772 (impulse testing)
• ISO 2685 (fire resistance for airborne equipment)
• SAE standards (e.g., AS150, AS1055) and Nadcap/AS7112 quality requirements

ISO 8913:2006 is essential reading when specifying, qualifying or procuring lightweight PTFE hose assemblies for aerospace applications to ensure compliance with established material, performance and inspection criteria.

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 8913 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 10, Aerospace fluid systems and components.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8913:1994). Criteria for imperial dimension
(inch-based) hose assemblies as used for commercial aviation are being introduced.

Introduction
This International Standard establishes the basic performance and quality requirements for lightweight
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose assemblies for use in aerospace fluid systems.
The procurement requirements are intended to ensure that hose assemblies which are procured in
accordance with this specification are of the same quality as the hose assemblies used during the original
qualification testing. Compliance with these test and procurement requirements is necessary for hose
assemblies that are used in fluid systems where a malfunction would affect the safety of flight.

Six sample hose assemblies having a 90° elbow fitting on one end of the hose and a straight fitting on the
other end of the hose shall be tested.
Two test specimens shall be oil-aged, two air-aged and two unaged (see 5.5.6).
After this initial preconditioning, subject the test specimens at room temperature to the proof pressure
specified in Table 4a or 4b, as applicable, for at least 5 min. Then pressurize the test specimens to
21 000 kPa or 3 000 psi, as applicable. While maintaining this pressure at room temperature, immerse the test
specimens in a 35 g/l ± 1 g/l sodium chloride solution — the sodium chloride solution shall contain a dry basis
containing mass fractions of not more than 0,1 % sodium iodide and 0,5 % total impurities — for 8 min to
10 min. Allow to dry in air for the remainder of 1 h. Repeat this subsequent immersion and air-drying process
no fewer than 50 times.
4.10.6.2 Requirement
When tested in accordance with ISO 8829:1990, 5.10 (i.e. in accordance with ISO 6772), the sample hose
assemblies shall comply with the test requirements without any signs of leakage [see also 7 h)].
Size DN20 (12) and larger may be bent in a 90° configuration, in lieu of 180° as defined in
ISO 8829:1990, 5.10, at a reduced length as noted in Table 5a or 5b, as applicable, to reduce fluid volume.
