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 8331 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee SC 1,
Hoses (rubber and plastics).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8331:1991), which has been technically revised.

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, refer to ISO 2230 for storage time and conditions. Items 3.2.3 to
3.2.8 are covered in ISO 2230 and are shown here for convenience only.
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. 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.
3.2.4 Humidity
The relative humidity should not exceed 70 % (see ISO 2230 for details).

SIST EN ISO 8331:2012
ISO 8331:2007(E)
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 are 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 should be taken and it is recommended that, when not in use, hoses and hose
assemblies should not remain filled.
3.3.5 Environment
Hoses and hose assemblies should not be used in environments other than those for which they were designed.
If there is doubt regarding the suitability of the environment, or if unusual or variable conditions are experienced,
the manufacturer should be consulted.
3.3.6 Bending radii
Hoses and hose assemblies should not be used with bends less than the minimum bend radius specified or
recommended by the manufacturer a
