What is BS EN 853 - Wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses about ?
BS EN 853 is an international standard on rubber hoses and hose assemblies that specifies the types and dimensions of these hoses. By using BS EN 853, you can design, manufacture and assemble good quality wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses.
BS EN 853 specifies requirements for four types of wire braid reinforced hoses and hose assemblies of nominal bore from 5 to 51. They are suitable for use with:
- Hydraulic fluids in accordance with ISO 6743-4 with the exception of HFD R, HFD S and HFD T at temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +100 °C
- Water based fluids at temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +70 °C
- Water at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C
Note1: BS EN 853 does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies.
Note 2: The hoses are not suitable for use with castor oil based and ester-based fluids.
Note 3: Hoses and hose assemblies are not be operated outside the limits of this standard.
Note 4: Requirements for hydraulic hoses for underground mining are standardized in separate standards.
Who is BS EN 853 - Wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses for ?
BS EN 853 on Rubber hoses and hose assemblies is useful for:
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Biotechnical industries
- Chemical industries
- Manufacturers of hoses
- OIL and gas refineries
Why should you use BS EN 853 - Wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses ?
Hydraulic hoses are useful in transporting oil or water-based liquids from one location to another.
By using BS EN 853, you can classify these hoses according to their operational requirements. The materials and dimensions mentioned in BS EN 853 are useful in designing and assembling these wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses.
With the help of these specified requirements, you can identify the defects or failures in these hoses. Using BS EN 853 you can ensure fluid resistivity that helps in designing and manufacturing good quality wire braid reinforced hydraulic hoses.
