This document specifies the composition, dimensions and mechanical properties of high carbon steel wire for reinforcing high pressure hoses. It is applicable to wire used as a multiple parallel wire braided or spirally wrapped reinforcement in a rubber or synthetic hose which is made to withstand relatively high bursting pressure.
Stahldraht und Drahterzeugnisse - Schlaucharmierungsdraht
Dieses Dokument legt die Zusammensetzung, die Maße und die mechanischen Eigenschaften fest von Stahldraht mit hohem Kohlenstoffgehalt zur Armierung von Hochdruckschläuchen. Es gilt für Draht, der als mehrfach parallel gewickelte oder spiralförmig gewickelte Bewehrung in einem Gummi- oder Synthetikschlauch verwendet wird, der relativ hohem Berstdruck widerstehen muss.
Fils et produits tréfilés en acier - Fil d'armature pour flexibles
La présente Norme européenne spécifie la composition, les dimensions, les propriétés mécaniques du fil en acier dur au carbone destiné au renforcement de flexibles haute pression. Elle est applicable aux fils de renforcement multiples parallèles tressés ou enroulés en spirale dans un flexible en caoutchouc ou en matière synthétique conçu pour résister à une pression d'éclatement relativement élevée.

Overview
EN 10324:2004 - "Steel wire and wire products - Hose reinforcement wire" (CEN) defines requirements for high‑carbon steel wire used as braided or spirally wrapped reinforcement in high‑pressure rubber or synthetic hoses. The standard covers material composition, mechanical performance, surface/coating, dimensional tolerances, testing, labelling and packaging to ensure reliable hose reinforcement for applications that must withstand relatively high bursting pressures.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material and chemical composition: Wire is manufactured from steel rod complying with EN 10016 series. Chemical limits are specified for carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur for different tensile classes.
- Tensile strength classes: Three classes - NT (Normal), HT (High) and ST (Super) - with defined tensile ranges and elongation requirements. Classification is used to select wire suitable for required burst performance.
- Mechanical tests: Mandatory tensile testing (EN 10002‑1 / EN 10218‑1), reverse‑bend and torsion tests after thermal ageing (150 °C for 1 h). Minimum numbers of reverse bends and torsions are given per diameter/class.
- Surface and coating: Default coating is brass (Cu ≈ 67% ±5). Coating mass requirements are specified (values differ for smaller and larger diameters). Surface must be clean, smooth and provide good adhesion to rubber.
- Dimensions and tolerances: Nominal diameter tolerance ±0.01 mm and out‑of‑roundness ≤ 0.01 mm.
- Delivery and packaging: Wire is supplied on spools; recommended spool types and lengths are provided. Welds at final size are permitted if cleaned and meeting a minimum breaking force (≥ 40% of the specified minimum).
- Designation & ordering: Standard prescribes a designation format (e.g., “Hose wire brass coated EN 10324 HT 2750 MPa to 3050 MPa 0,30”) and lists purchaser information to be supplied (diameter, quantity, package, coating, inspection document).
Applications and users
- Hose manufacturers specifying reinforcement wire for hydraulic, industrial and mobile equipment hoses.
- Wire producers and suppliers certifying material, mechanical properties and coatings to meet industry requirements.
- OEMs and procurement teams ensuring traceability, inspection documents and correct designation when ordering reinforcement wire.
- Testing laboratories and quality managers performing tensile, bend, torsion and coating mass tests in line with EN 10324:2004.
