BS ISO 4642-2:2015 specifies the requirements and test methods for semi-rigid reel hoses for use on
fire-fighting vehicles and trailer pumps. The hoses are intended for use at a maximum working pressure
of 1,5 MPa for normal pressure hoses (category I) and 4,0 MPa for high pressure hoses (category II). The
hoses are further subdivided into types and classes (see Clause 4).This part of ISO 4642 applies to delivery hoses for fire-fighting purposes intended for use at a minimum
ambient temperature of -20 °C.Hoses conforming to this part of ISO 4642 are intended to be used with fire hose couplings conforming
to the relevant national standards couplings.Requirements are also given for hose assemblies (see 6.12) where these are fitted by the hose
manufacturer.NOTE 1 Hoses for use at temperatures lower than -20 °C can be supplied by agreement between the
manufacturer and purchaser.NOTE 2 All pressures are expressed in megapascals where 1 MPa = 10 bar.Cross References:ISO 176:2005ISO 188ISO 1307ISO 1402ISO 4671:2007ISO 7326:2006ISO 8033:2006ISO 8330ISO 10619-2:2011EN 1947EN 14540ISO 9001ISO 23529ISO 30013All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
