SAE J1942由美国海岸警卫队和SAE合作开发，于1991年8月28日生效，成为商用非金属软管组件的官方文件。 本SAE标准涵盖了经美国海岸警卫队检验和认证的商用船上系统中几种类型软管和/或软管组件的具体要求。本文件旨在确定对海洋环境中的安全操作至关重要的软管结构和性能水平。有关软管和软管组件的选择、安装和维护，请参考SAE J1273。 参考SAE J1527，了解在小型船舶上输送汽油或柴油的软管，包括根据33 CFR 183子部分J直接或通过引用进行管理的游乐船和相关小型商业船舶，以及符合美国船舶和游艇委员会标准的船和游艇。 SAE J1942-1列出了经认证可用于SAE J1942表1所述流体动力、燃油、润滑油、水和气动系统的产品。 SAE J1942-1每年更新一次，可作为单一副本文件从SAE获得。

SAE J1942, developed through the cooperative efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard and SAE, became effective August 28, 19911, as the official document for nonmetallic flexible hose assemblies for commercial marine use. This SAE Standard covers specific requirements for several styles of hose and/or hose assemblies in systems aboard commercial vessels inspected and certificated by the U.S. Coast Guard. It is intended that this document establish hose constructions and performance levels that are essential to safe operations in the marine environment. Refer to SAE J1273 for selection, installation, and maintenance of hose and hose assemblies. Refer to SAE J1527 for hose to convey gasoline or diesel fuel aboard small craft, including pleasure craft and related small commercial craft regulated directly or by reference under 33 CFR 183 Subpart J, and boats and yachts meeting American Boat and Yacht Council standards. SAE J1942-1 is a listing of the products which have been certified for use in the applications described in SAE J1942, Table 1, for fluid power, fuel oil, lube oil, water, and pneumatic systems. SAE J1942-1 is updated yearly and is available from SAE as a single copy document.
