It Is ‘one of a series of British Standards for various hoses and hhose assemblies for the petroleum industry, {tis important to note that class 1 hoses are suitable for tse with aviation fuels, whereas class 2 hoses should not bbe used for this purpose, {In order to take account of modern technological developments this British Standard Is based on performance requirements, The principal changes from the 1972 edition are as follows. (2) The types have been designated A, AX, B, BX, C, D, E and F to distinguish them from types 1, 2 and 3 in the previous edition, (b) Types AX and BX which are composite hoses have ‘been introduced and so has type F which is a hose with controlled dilation for metered delivery. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself ‘confer immunity from legal obligetions.TSS OSOSSSSSOSSSSSSSMMMCOCSESELESESEEEEELEE EEE A BS 3492 : 1987 Contents Page Foreword Inside front cove Committees responsible Back cover Specification Scope 1 2 3 Types and classes 4 Construction 5 Dimensions and tolerances 6 Hose mass 7 Pressure requirements 8 End fittings 9 Physical properties of the cover formance requirements (type approval tests) 11 Tost certificate 12 Marking 2 Appendices B Fuel resistance test C Reeling test (types E and F only) D Method for determination of fuel-soluble matter E Fuol contamination test Tabi Nominal bores and tolerances 3 Maximum mass of hoses 2 Pressure ratings 3 Minimum bend rai Crushing force F of drum for reeling test 6@scope e js British Standard specifies requirements for rubber and e. ‘an aromatic hydrocarbon content of not more than Barieperstrerop to 90°C Al tour resale eee of types A, AX, B, BX, C and D are for service a: / hoses, Le. drained after use.
