Gasilske cevi - Gasilske ploske tlačne cevi za hidrante
Standard EN 14540 določa zahteve in preskusne zahteve za gasilske ploske tlačne cevi za hidrante. Cevi so namenjene uporabi pri najvišjem delovnem tlaku 1,5 MPa pri razponu notranjih premerov med 25 mm in 52 mm. Ta evropski standard se uporablja izključno za cevi za gašenje, namenjene uporabi pri najnižji temperaturi okolja –20 °C v normalnih pogojih in najnižji temperaturi –30 °C v hladnejših podnebnih pogojih ter pri najvišji temperaturi okolja +60 °C. Cevi, ki so skladne s tem standardom, naj bi se uporabljale s spojkami za gasilske cevi, ki so v skladu z ustreznimi nacionalnimi standardi za spojke.

Overview
EN 14540:2014 - Fire-fighting hoses - Non-percolating layflat hoses for fixed systems is a European Standard published by CEN that specifies requirements and test methods for non-percolating layflat hoses used in fixed hose systems (wall hydrants, cabinets). The standard covers hoses with inside diameters from 25 mm to 52 mm, intended for a maximum working pressure of 1.5 MPa and normal working pressure 1.0 MPa. It defines construction, performance, environmental limits and marking so that fire-fighting hoses used in buildings meet consistent safety and durability criteria.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & temperatures: Hoses are intended for ambient temperatures from −20 °C (standard) to +60 °C; a special test at −30 °C applies for colder climates.
- Construction: Uncovered hoses with a water-impermeable rubber or plastics lining and a synthetic fibre woven jacket (layflat hose design).
- Dimensions & mass: Inside-diameter tolerances per EN ISO 4671; typical mass-per-metre examples in the standard: 25 mm ≈ 0.18 kg/m; 38 mm ≈ 0.24 kg/m; 40–45 mm ≈ 0.29 kg/m; 50–52 mm ≈ 0.35 kg/m.
- Hydrostatic tests: Normal working deformation limits, proof pressure (2.25 MPa), and minimum burst pressure (4.5 MPa) (all gauge pressures). Kink pressure and dimensional stability (twist, length/diameter change) also specified.
- Durability tests: Adhesion between lining and jacket (≥ 1.0 kN/m), accelerated ageing (burst reduction ≤ 25% and adhesion ≥ 0.9 kN/m after ageing), low-temperature flexibility (no cracking after cycles), hot surface resistance (200 °C), and resistance to kinking.
- Testing & quality control: Type tests, production tests and guidance for batch testing with frequencies defined in Annexes. EN 15889:2011 is referenced for specific test methods.
- Marking: Manufacturer, EN number/date, inside diameter, maximum working pressure (MPa/bar), manufacture quarter/year, lower test temperature if applicable, and approval/certification details.
Applications and users
- Applications: Fixed fire hose systems in buildings - wall hydrants and fixed cabinets - for occupant/manual firefighting and small-fire control. Suitable for marine or aggressive environments when used with wall hydrants per EN 671-2.
- Who uses this standard: Hose manufacturers, fire safety equipment designers, procurement officers, installers, building owners, testing laboratories and certification bodies ensuring compliance for fixed fire-fighting hose systems.
