METHODS OF TEST FOR

HOSE MADE FROM ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS

AS 1180.10B
DETERMINATION OF COMBUSTION PROPAGATION
CHARACTERISTICS OF A HORIZONTALLY
ORIENTED SPECIMEN OF HOSE USING
SURFACE IGNITION

1 SCOPE. This standard sets out a method for determining the combustion propagation characteristics
of hose made from elastomeric materials.
Get permission to copy from this publication www.saiglobal.com/licensing

NOTE: The method is derived from and closely resembles that contained in Draft British National Coal Board Specification
No 182—1972, Air and Water Hose.

2 PRINCIPLE. Test specimens of the hose held in horizontal orientation are subjected to direct
impingement of a flame for a fixed time under empirical draught-free conditions and observations are made
of duration of flaming or glowing after flame removal and of flame propagation distance.
3 APPARATUS AND REAGENTS.
3.1 Apparatus.
(a) Burner, Analite No T 203 modified as shown in Fig. 1 with the incorporation of ceramic orifices.
NOTE: Information as to the availability of burner working drawings and a suitable manufacturer able to construct same may
be obtained from CSIRO, Division of Building Research, Graham Road, Highett, Victoria 3190.
(b) Draught-free cabinet (see Fig. 2), constructed from sheet metal or other fire-resistant material, with a
dark interior, approximately 650 mm in width by 600 mm in depth by 1050 mm in height with a
150 mm diameter hole at the top (to allow fumes to escape). One side is provided with a hand hole and
flap and the front is provided with a viewing panel of suitable material.
(c) Ventilating fan.
(d) Stand, for supporting the test specimen or piece. This stand is placed inside the cabinet.
(e) Timing device. Stopwatch or other timer reading in seconds.
3.2 Reagents. Propane gas (at least 95 percent purity)* and compressed air supply for burner.
4 TEST SPECIMENS. Prepare six test specimens, each 300 mm long, from samples of hose taken at
random from a production run. Make three marks on each specimen, the middle one approximately midway
along the hose with one on either side 50 mm from the middle mark.
5 PROCEDURE. The procedure shall be as follows:
(a) Place the test specimen so that it is supported in a horizontal position, using a 3 mm diameter steel rod.
(b) With the burner standing vertically, light and adjust the flame in subdued lighting conditions to a height
of 150 mm above the top of the burner.
(c) Position the burner (see Fig. 3) so that
(i) its base is at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal;
(ii) its top is 50 mm from the test specimen;
(iii) the flame impinges on the centre of the test specimen at an angle of 90 degrees to the longitudinal
axis.
(d) Allow the burner flame to impinge on the test specimen for 60 s and withdraw.
(e) Observe any flame or glowing.
(f) Determine the duration of flame or glowing.
(g) Measure the maximum charred length in the direction of the longitudinal axis (after removal of the
surplus charred material).
(h) Repeat for the remaining test specimens.

* Available as Automotive Propane HD5.

(j) Average the time of duration of flame or glowing after removal of the flame.
NOTE: It should be noted that for some materials the products of burning are toxic and care should be taken to guard the
operator from these toxic gases. The ventilating fan in the draught-free enclosure in which the test is performed should be turned
on immediately after the test is completed in order to remove any irritating products of the test.

6 REPORT. The following information shall be reported:

(a) Whether burning occurred.
(b) The average time for which flaming and glowing continued.
(c) Maximum charred length.
This test result alone does not assess the fire hazard of the product under actual fire conditions.
Consequently, the results of this test alone shall not be quoted in support of claims with respect of the fire
hazard of the product under actual fire conditions.

This standard, prepared by Committee RU/1, Industrial Hose, was approved on behalf of the Council of the Standards Association of
Australia on 20 October 1981, and was published on 25 January 1982.

Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject to periodic review and
are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that
they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia Catalogue of Publications;
this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and
which gives details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards Australia, are welcomed. Notification
of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made without delay in order that the matter may be
investigated and appropriate action taken.
