Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies requirements for rubber hoses (including twin hoses) for welding, cutting and allied processes. This standard specifies requirements for rubber hoses for normal duty of 2 MPa (20 bar) and light duty [limited to hoses for maximum working pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) and with bore up to and including 6,3 mm+. This standard applies to hoses operated at temperatures ?20 Degrees Celicius to +60 Degrees Celicius and used in: ? gas welding and cutting ? arc welding under the protection of an inert or active gas and ? processes allied to welding and cutting, in particular, heating, brazing, and metallization. This standard applies neither to thermoplastics hoses nor to hoses used for high pressure [>0,15 MPa (>1,5 bar)] acetylene. THIS STANDARD WAS PUBLISHED ON 2014-07-31.
