Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

General Introducti on

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The development of this series of standard methods of test for hose made from
elastomeric materials was undertaken by the Association’s Committee for Rubber Hose
primarily to service a range of specifications being prepared for various types of
rubber hose.
The methods have a fairly general application. Methods relatively specific to a
particular type of hose may be found as an appendix in the relevant specification.
In preparing these methods of test, acknowledgment is made of information received
from the International Organization for Standardization, the British Standards
Institution and the American Society for Testing and Materials.

The methods refer to the following standards:

AS B128 — Verification of Testing Machines
AS B80 — Dial Gauges for Linear Measurement

SCOPE, ARRANGEMENT AND

APPLICATION

1 SCOPE. This standard comprises a series of general methods for determining the
dimensions and other properties of hose made from elastomeric materials.

They are intended primarily to service relevant Australian standard specifications but
may also find application in investigational and field work.

For assembled test specimens, ‘failures’ within 25 mm of end fittings do not

necessarily apply to the hose proper.

2 ARRANGEMENT. The methods are numbered such that each arabic number refers
to a given property. Diverse methods for determining the same type of property are
distinguished by alphabetical suffix. Example: Test Method 7D Resistance to
Detergents.

3 APPLICATION. When stipulated in a specification the methods shall form part of

that specification and shall be subject to any qualifications or modifications so
specified.
