SIST EN ISO 8331:2014
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8331:2014(E)
Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies —
Guidelines for selection, storage, use and maintenance
1 Scope
This International Standard sets out recommendations designed to maintain rubber and plastics hoses
and hose assemblies, prior to use, in a condition as close as possible to the condition they were in when
they were received and to obtain the expected service life.
NOTE It is intended that this International Standard be used in conjunction with any applicable national
statutory regulations.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 1402, Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies — Hydrostatic testing
ISO 2230, Rubber products — Guidelines for storage

3 General recommendations
3.1 Selection criteria
It is in the best interests of the user to select hoses or hose assemblies complying with national or
international standards whenever such standards exist for the intended application. For applications
outside the scope of such standards, needing special requirements or for which the necessary information
is not available, the hose manufacturer or trade association should be consulted.
The following points should be taken into consideration when selecting a hose or hose assembly for a
specific application:
a) Operational environment:
— ambient temperature;
— atmospheric conditions;
— contact with chemically aggressive liquids;
— contact with other deleterious media.
b) Media conveyed:
— liquid;
— gaseous;

— solids;
— combinations of the above.
c) Method of conveyance:
— pressure (including rate of flow);
— suction (including rate of flow);
— gravity (including rate of flow);
— assisted (mixture of solid/fluid, solid/air).
d) Operating conditions:
— pressure and temperature of product conveyed;
— frequency of use.
e) Installation:
— degree of curvature (minimum bend radius);
— vibration of system;
— risk of damage by impact and abrasion;
— use of correct type of connection;
— type of movement and frequency.
3.2 Storage conditions
3.2.1 General
During storage, especially for long periods, and when hoses and hose assemblies are exposed to certain
adverse influences, the physical properties of hoses and hose assemblies can undergo changes that may
result in them no longer having the optimum characteristics corresponding to their application when
they are put into service. The storage conditions should be such as will offer maximum protection and
minimize deterioration of the articles during storage.
3.2.2 Storage period
The storage period should be kept to a minimum. Rotation of stock is therefore essential and the “first-in
first-out” rule applied. For long-term storage, the following maximum storage periods are recommended:
— For bulk hoses (without fittings attached) maximum 4 years
— For hose assemblies maximum 2 years
These two periods can be interpreted as consecutive for a maximum storage duration of 6 years (4 years
as bulk hose + 2 years as hose assembly.
3.2.3 Temperature
The storage temperature should be below 25 °C and articles stored away from direct heat sources.
Storage above 25 °C may shorten the life of the hose or hose assembly. Articles should not be subjected to
temperatures over 50 °C or below – 30 °C or to abnormal fluctuations in temperature during the storage
period. See ISO 2230 for information on the effect of higher and lower temperatures on the storage time.

ISO 8331:2014(E)

3.2.4 Humidity
The relative humidity should not exceed 70 %, or 65 % for polyurethane hose products.
3.2.5 Light
The articles should be stored in a dark place away from sunlight and strong artificial light. If the storage
area has windows or glazed openings, they should be obscured with red, orange or white coverings.
3.2.6 Ozone
Due to the harmful effect of ozone on rubber-based articles, storage areas should not contain equipment
capable of generating ozone, for example mercury vapour lamps or tubes, high-voltage electrical
equipment, electric motors or other equipment likely to cause sparks or electrical discharges.
3.2.7 Environment
Articles should not be placed in contact with certain products or exposed to their vapours, particularly
solvents, oils, greases, acids, disinfectants, etc. Some metals, such as copper, iron and manganese, have
a harmful effect on certain rubber compounds.
3.2.8 Sources of heat
Articles should not be stored in close proximity to heat sources. The distance between the articles and
the heat sources should be sufficient to ensure compliance with the recommendations of 3.2.3.
3.2.9 Electric and magnetic fields
Storage areas should not be in the vicinity of equipment that may generate electric or magnetic fields,
as variations/fluctuations in such fields could induce currents in metallic joints, which in turn generate
heat.
3.2.10 Method of storing
Articles should be stored in such a way that they are not subjected to excessive stress, elongation or
deformation. Contact with sharp, pointed or abrasive objects or surfaces should be avoided, and storage
racks should be provided whenever possible.
Coiled hose or hose assemblies should be stored flat and preferably not stacked. When stacking is
unavoidable, the height of the stack should be restricted so that the articles at the bottom do not suffer
permanent deformation. The hanging of coils on pegs is not recommended. Hoses and hose assemblies
supplied in straight lengths should be stored flat and unbent. End caps should be kept on hoses supplied
with them.
3.2.11 Rodents
Articles should be secure from attack by rodents, and adequate protection should be provided if there
are any risks.
3.2.12 Issue from storage
Care should be taken to ensure that articles issued from stock are in their correct condition and
correspond to their intended application. Identification of the different types in stock is essential. Hose
assemblies which do not have permanent end fittings, i.e. those with clipping/clamping arrangements
that can be adjusted, should be checked to ensure that the end fittings are secure.

3.2.13 Return to storage
Before being returned to storage, articles which have been withdrawn from service should be drained
of the substance they have been used to convey. Special care should be exercised with hoses that have
been used to transport chemical, explosive, flammable or corrosive products. After cleaning and before
return to storage, the articles should be examined to establish their suitability for continued use.
3.3 Use and maintenance
3.3.1 Handling
Hoses and hose assemblies should always be handled with care. They should not be dragged over sharp
or abrasive surfaces. They should not be subjected to kinking or flattening, for example by being run
over by vehicles.
3.3.2 Pressure
Articles should not be subjected to pressures, including surge pressures, in excess of the specified
maximum working pressure.
3.3.3 Temperature
Articles should not be used at temperatures, either conveyed-product temperatures or environmental
temperatures, outside the range specified or recommended by the manufacturer.
3.3.4 Products conveyed
Hoses and hose assemblies should only be used for conveying the products for which they are designed.
If there is doubt regarding the suitability, the hose manufacturer should be consulted. When potentially
dangerous (for example toxic, corrosive, explosive or flammable) products are being conveyed,
precautions to minimize the effects of spillage due to leakage s
