BS EN ISO 7662:1996 is a European Standard that outlines a test method for determining the abrasion resistance of the lining of rubber and plastics hoses. This standard is essential for assessing the durability and performance of hoses used in various industrial and commercial applications, where abrasion resistance is a critical factor.
Key points covered by BS EN ISO 7662:1996 include:
The standard defines the scope of the test method, which is specifically for assessing the abrasion resistance of the inner lining of rubber and plastics hoses.
Apparatus: It describes the equipment and apparatus required for conducting the abrasion test, including a testing machine, abrasive wheels or disks, and the necessary instrumentation for measuring abrasion accurately.
Test Specimens: The standard outlines the preparation of test specimens, including the size and shape of the samples to be tested.
Testing Procedure: It provides detailed instructions on how to perform the abrasion test, which involves subjecting the hose lining to abrasive action under specified conditions.
Calculations: BS EN ISO 7662:1996 specifies the calculations required to determine the abrasion resistance of the hose lining based on the test results.
Reporting: The standard provides guidelines for reporting the test results, including the format and content of the test report.
The abrasion resistance of hose linings is a crucial property, as hoses often encounter abrasive materials, wear, and friction in various industrial processes and applications. This standard helps manufacturers and users of rubber and plastics hoses ensure that the hoses can withstand the expected levels of abrasion and maintain their integrity over time.
