Fire-fighting hoses - Semi-rigid delivery hoses and hose assemblies for pumps and vehicles

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for semi-rigid reel hoses for use on fire-fighting vehicles and trailer pumps.  The hoses are intended for use at a maximum working pressure of 1,5 MPa for normal pressure hoses (category I) and 4,0 MPa for high pressure hoses (category II). The hoses are further subdivided into types and classes (see clause 4).
The standard applies to delivery hoses for fire-fighting purposes intended for use at a minimum temperature of        -20 °C.
NOTE 1   Hoses for use at temperatures lower than -20 °C may be supplied by agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser.
Hoses conforming to this standard should be used with fire hose couplings conforming to the relevant national standards couplings.
Requirements are also given for hose assemblies (see clause 8) where these are fitted by the hose manufacturer.
NOTE 2   All pressures are expressed in megapascals. 1 MPa = 10 bar.

EN 1947:2002 (E)116.4 Abrasion resistanceNOTEAbrasion tests are specific to different hose constructions and/or materials.
Two procedures withdifferent values are therefore specified here to avoid unfair discrimination.
In addition, it is important to note thatthe requirements, revolutions as given in table 5 and double strokes as given in Table 6, cannot be correlated.6.4.1 Abrasion resistance of class 5 and class 6 hosesWhen tested in accordance with annex C and using the number of revolutions given in Table 5, at least four of thefive test pieces shall not burst on being subjected to the normal working pressure given in Table 2.Table 5 — Abrasion resistance of uncovered hose (classes 5 and 6)Inside diameterNumber of revolutionsmm12, 19, 25 and 333006.4.2 Abrasion resistance of classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 hosesWhen tested in accordance with annex D, the average number of double strokes completed before burst shall benot less than that given in Table 6.Table 6 — Abrasion resistance of covered hose (classes 1, 2, 3 and 4)Inside diameterMinimum number of double strokes beforemmburst12, 19, 25 and 331206.5 Low temperature flexibilityThe test shall be carried out in accordance with clause 4 Method B of EN ISO 4672:1999 using a mandrel ofoutside diameter equal to 12 times the inside diameter of the hose.

In thiscase, the purchaser should be aware that this is outside the scope of this standard, and should ensure by other means that thesecurity of the hose assembly has been tested.Where the hose couplings are fitted by the hose manufacturer, the security of the hose assembly shall be tested inaccordance with annex H by the manufacturer before delivery to the purchaser.
There shall be no sign of leakageor movement of the hose from the coupling.NOTE 2The hose manufacturer should fit hose couplings which conform to any relevant national standards or legalrequirements of the country of use.

Maintain a pressure of 0,07 MPa in the test piece while bending it through 180° at a pointapproximately midway along its length. Tie the free end of the hose back on itself, as close as possible to thesecure end, so as to form a sharp kink, ensuring that the tie does not prevent subsequent expansion of thediameter of the test piece.Raise the pressure in the test piece to that given in 6.1.4 over a period of 60 s. Maintain the pressure for 1 min.Examine the test piece for any sign of leakage or damage prior to releasing the pressure.A.5 Test reportThe test report shall include the following information:a) a full description of the hose tested;b) a reference to this European Standard;c) any evidence of
