NOTE 2 Preferably, the requirements of option a) above should be met. a) pipes and hose assemblies shall be arranged, assembled and, if necessary, also fixed and protected so that external damage is minimized and ejecting fluids are deflected. 5.1.10 Hydraulic fluids Hydraulic control systems on roof supports for coal mines and other mines with potentially explosive atmospheres shall be designed for use with non-toxic and fire-resistant fluids in accordance with the SHCMOEI 7th report (see Bibliography). Hydraulic control systems shall be designed so that they may be used with: a) fire-resistant fluids of category HFA specified by the roof support manufacturer in accordance with 6.2.1 of ISO 7745:1989 in conjunction with ISO 6743-4:2001; or b) water without additives (temperatures from + 5 °C to + 60 °C).
5.1.11 Lifting points Where lifting points are fitted to hydraulic control systems, they shall be suitable for their intended purpose. They shall be designed to have a calculated minimum factor of safety of 4 for the mean tensile strain in relation to their intended load carrying capacity. They shall be clearly and permanently marked with their load carrying capacity (e.g. by welding).
5.2.2 Roof contact advance Hydraulic control systems shall be designed so that the facility to advance the support unit in contact with the roof may be incorporated.

Pressurized compartments which can be isolated shall be protected by pressure limiting valves.
5.2.4 Interruption of the operating pressure
Any interruption or restoration of the operating pressure shall not lead to unintentional movements of the support unit.
5.2.5 Travel speeds Hydraulic control systems shall be designed so that the speed of movement of individual parts of the support unit cannot exceed 30 cm/s. For canopies and anti-spalling devices, this value applies to the extremities of the components. This requirement does not apply for operating areas of the support where the presence of people is excluded.
5.2.6 Actuating forces The actuating forces for the hand-operated hydraulic control systems shall not be less than 10 N nor exceed 160 N.

5.3 Requirements of type A valves 5.3.1 General Type A valves shall meet the test requirements as defined in Annex A.
5.3.2 Leaktightness Type A valves shall be leaktight up to 94,5 % of the yield pressure.
5.3.4 Opening pressure The opening pressure at a flow rate of 0,04 l/min can exceed the specified yield pressure by a maximum of 5 %.
5.3.5 Closing pressure The closing pressure can fall below the specified yield pressure by a maximum of 10 %.
5.3.6 Pressure pulses Type A valves shall not fail when pressure pulses occur.
5.3.7 Impact resistance The function of type A valves shall not be impaired by mechanical impacts.
5.3.8 Pressure flow behaviour The volume flow of type A valves shall be as defined in Table A.1 and shall meet the intended roof support yield parameters. At a volume flow of > 0,04 l/min up to ≤ 60l/min, the opening pressure shall not exceed the yield pressure by more than 20 % nor fall below the yield pressure by more than 10 %. If volume flows
> 60 l/min are intended, this requirement shall apply. Generally, one valve is used. Where an arrangement of valves is used, at least one valve shall satisfy this requirement. 5.3.9 Operating reliability Type A valves shall continue to meet the requirements of 5.3.2 to 5.3.5 after 10 500 opening and closing cycles.
5.3.10 Temperature effects The influence of the temperature on the function of gas-charged type A valves shall be specified by the manufacturer.
5.3.11 Resistance to back pressure The yield pressure of type A valves supporting the roof shall not be affected by back pressure. The yield pressure of other type A valves shall not be increased by back pressure in the return circuit.
5.4 Requirements for type B and C valves 5.4.1 General Type B and C valves shall meet the test requirements given in Annex A.
5.4.2 Leaktightness Type B valves shall be leaktight in the closed position up to 1,5 times their maximum permissible working pressure.
5.4.3 Resistance to pressure Type B valves shall be capable of being loaded in the closed position up to 2 times the maximum permissible working pressures without bursting. Type C valves shall be capable of being loaded in all switching positions up to 2 times the maximum permissible working pressure without bursting.
5.4.4 Switching behaviour Type B and C valves, when switching, shall not produce pressure peaks greater than 1,5 times the permissible working pressure.
5.4.5 Operating reliability Type B and C valves shall continue to meet the requirements of 5.4.2 to 5.4.4 after 30 000 switching cycles.
5.4.6 Resistance to back pressure Type B and C valves shall not undergo any switching up to the maximum permissible back pressure in the return system circuit.
5.5 Requirements for type D valves Where type D valves contain elements or assemblies found in type A, B or C valves, then the corresponding requirements of 5.3 and/or 5.4 shall be met.
5.6 Materials 5.6.1 Metallic materials Only metals that meet the material characteristics specified by the manufacturer shall be used as the material for hydraulic control devices.
5.6.2 Light metal Surfaces consisting of light metal or light metal alloys (including paints and coatings containing light metal) of actuators intended by the manufacturer to be used in potentially gaseous mines shall meet the requirements of clause 8 of EN 13463-1:2001.
5.6.3 Other materials Other materials shall conform to the material specifications laid down by the manufacturer of the hydraulic control devices. Non-metallic materials shall meet the requirements of clause 7 of EN 13463-1:2001.
5.6.4 Seals Seals of hydraulic control devices shall be suitable for their particular application, particularly with regard to dimensions, pressure range, compatibility with the fluid and temperature. Hydraulic control system seals shall meet the test requirements given in Annex A.
