duties, and the other for offshore.
This European Standard is applicable for hose sizes from 25 mm to 250 mm, working
pressures from 10,5 bar to 25 bar and operating temperatures from – 196 °C to + 45 °C.
NOTE Offshore LNG hose assemblies are also specified in EN 1474‑2.
WARNING Persons using this European Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems, if any, associated
