Scope:
This standard is intended to establish general specifications, performance requirements, and uniform
methods for the testing and evaluation of hydraulic hose protective fabric sleeve for single hose; it does not
apply to the hose cover. The purpose of the sleeve is to protect the hydraulic hose from excessive abrasion.

Two performance levels, A and B are established with Level A being the best. Protective sleeve performance
levels are determined by application.

1. Performance Requirements:

1.1. These sleeves must resist deterioration from sunlight, weather, paint, oil and grease through a
temperature range of -40°C to 120°C.

1.2. Attachment Pull Test

This section defines the test procedure and establishes the minimum force required to pull the
protective sleeve loose from the attachment.

1.2.1 A minimum of 3 test samples shall be made and tested. See Illustration A for drawing size
and length of test hose.

1.2.1.1 Test and verification of attachment of clamp is only needed on (-08) hose.

1.2.1.2 The hose and sleeve length is defined in the drawing.

1.2.1.3 The hose shall not be used in production.

1.2.2 The minimum pull force to remove the sleeve from the clamp shall be equal to, or greater than,
440 N.

1.2.3 The hose end fitting shall be fixed at one end. The sleeve end shall be clamped, pulled, and
measured. An example of a fixture for the pull test is in Figure 1.

1.2.3.1 This is one example of a fixture, it is up to the manufacturer to determine the setup,
complete the test, and submit the results. This is a destructive test.

1.2.4 The pull rate of the sleeve shall not exceed 15 mm/min.

1.3. Abrasion test (to be developed):

This section defines the test procedure and establishes the minimum abrasion test cycles required
for each performance level.

1.3.1. Level A (to be developed).

1.3.2. Level B (to be developed).

1.4. Cold Bend Test:

1.4.1. Bend the protective sleeve and hose assembly uniformly over a mandrel having a
diameter equal to twice the minimum specified hose bend radius. Protective sleeve and
hose assembly shall be subjected to -40°C for 24 hours prior to bending.

Hoses less than 25.4 mm nominal inside diameter shall be bent 180° over the mandrel and hoses
of 25.4 mm nominal inside diameter and larger shall be bent 90° over the mandrel.

After bending, the protective sleeve and hose assembly shall be allowed to warm to room
temperature, then be visually examined. There shall be no fractures of the protective sleeve
material.

2. Sleeve Classifications:

2.1. Sleeve performance is classified by thickness and shall conform to abrasion test level (A or B)
unless otherwise specified.

2.2. If a specified performance level is required, it must be specified. If not specified, sleeve material
shall be Level A. (Example callout: DTW1213 Performance Level B)

3. Color:

3.1. Sleeve material shall have a similar color to JDM F9T – Low Gloss Black unless otherwise
indicated on the print.

4. Size (see Illustration B):

4.1. The sleeve inside diameter can be 10-50% larger than hose nominal outside diameter.

4.2. Sleeve wall thickness shall be a maximum of 3 mm.

4.3. The sleeve length between the clamps is the distance between the clamps (that attach the sleeve)
plus the following length:

DISTANCE BETWEEN CLAMPS ADDED LENGTH TOLERANCE

4.3.1. Up to 300 mm 23 +13 / -8 mm

4.3.2. 301 mm to 600 mm 46 +29 / -16 mm

4.3.3. 601 mm to 1500 mm 85 +35 / -25 mm

4.3.4. 1501 mm and above: 85 + 15 mm for +35 / -25 mm

every 500 mm +/- an additional 5 mm
increment or partial for every 500 mm
increment above increment or partial
1500 mm increment above
1500 mm
Example: (2300 mm: 115 + 45 / -35 mm)

4.4. Total sleeve length is the length specified in Section 4.3, plus 2 times the clamp width, plus a
minimum of 10 mm.

4.5. All cut lengths shall be seared.

5. Attachment (see Illustration A)

5.1. Clamp each end of the sleeve to the crimped part of each hose end fitting (coupling).

5.2. Each end of the sleeve should be clamped to the crimped part of each hose end fitting (coupling).
If the sleeve does not cover the complete hose, the end not fixed to the coupling shall be restrained
with a tie band.

5.3. A minimum of 5 mm of sleeve must extend beyond each clamp. The sleeve cannot extend over
the fixed hex of the end fittings.

5.3.1. If the clamp width exceeds 15 mm, the sleeve is only required to extend beyond the
clamp by 1 mm.

5.4. Hose assembly part number shall be legible after sleeve attachment.

6.1. Assembly drawings shall have “Protective FABRIC sleeve and attachment per DTW 1213”
(performance level specified if required).

6.2. Any additions or exceptions to DTW 1213 shall be noted on the drawing.

7. Approved Material and Attachment

All material shall be approved by JDDW Engineering Department.

7.1. Tubular double plain weave – 1000 Denier yarn minimum should be used. Textile polyamide
tubular weave sleeve shall meet 200,000 abrasion cycles per ISO 6945 or equivalent test.
