procurement specifications. It applies to the hose and the hose
coupling. The tests and assembly requirements for the connecting
end fitting are covered in the procurement specification.
This document applies each time that it is referred to in a
procurement specification or other definition document.
Hose Assembly Test Methods
The test methods to be used for testing of hose and hose
assemblies shall be defined as follows:
a. Section 3 - PTFE Inner Tube Test Methods
b. Section 4 - Metallic Braided Hose and Hose Assembly Test
Methods
c. Section 5 - Non-Metallic Braided Hose and Hose Assembly Test
