BS EN ISO 8308:1996 is a European Standard that specifies a test method for determining the transmission of liquids through the walls of rubber and plastics hoses and tubing. This standard is essential for evaluating the barrier properties of hoses and tubing used for the transportation of fluids and ensuring their suitability for specific applications.
Key points covered by BS EN ISO 8308:1996 include:
The standard defines the scope of the test method, which is specific to evaluating the transmission of liquids through the walls of rubber and plastics hoses and tubing.
Apparatus: It describes the equipment and apparatus required for conducting the test, including the testing machine and instrumentation for measuring liquid transmission accurately.
Test Specimens: The standard outlines the preparation of test specimens, including the size and dimensions of the samples to be tested.
Testing Procedure: It provides detailed instructions on how to perform the test, which involves subjecting the hose or tubing to a specific liquid under controlled conditions and measuring the liquid transmission over time.
Calculations: BS EN ISO 8308:1996 specifies the calculations required to determine the liquid transmission rate through the hose or tubing wall based on the test results.
Reporting: The standard provides guidelines for reporting the test results, including the format and content of the test report.
This test method is valuable for manufacturers and users of rubber and plastics hoses and tubing, as it helps assess the barrier properties of these products and their ability to prevent the unwanted transmission of liquids. The results of this test can inform the selection of hoses and tubing for applications where liquid containment and protection are critical.
