This International Standard specifies requirements for five types of textile-reinforced hydraulic hose and hose
assembly of nominal size from 5 to 100. They are suitable for use with water-based hydraulic fluids HFC,
HFAE, HFAS and HFB as defined in ISO 6743-4 at temperatures ranging from −40 °C to +60 ºC or oil-based
hydraulic fluids HH, HL, HM, HR and HV as defined in ISO 6743-4 at temperatures ranging from −40 °C to
+100 °C.
This International Standard does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to requirements for
hoses and hose assemblies.
NOTE It is the responsibility of the user, in consultation with the hose manufacturer, to establish compatibility of the
hose with the fluid to be used.
