Kunststoffschläuche und -schlauchleitungen - Kunststoff-Hydraulikschläuche mit Textileinlage - Spezifikation
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen für zwei Typen von Kunststoffschläuchen und Schlauchleitungen
mit Textileinlagen mit maximal zulässigen Arbeitsdrücken im Bereich von 69 bar bis 345 bar fest. Die
Schläuche sind geeignet zur Verwendung mit:
Hydraulikflüssigkeiten auf der Basis von Erdöl und synthetischen Stoffen in einem
Temperaturbereich von - 40°C bis +100°C;
Hydraulikflüssigkeiten auf der Basis von Wasser in einem Temperaturbereich 0°C bis +70°C.
Diese Norm enthält keine Anforderungen an die Armaturen. Sie beschränkt sich auf die Leistungsfähigkeit der
Schläuche und Schlauchleitungen.
ANMERKUNG 1: Betriebstemperaturen über 100°C können die Lebensdauer der Schläuche wesentlich verkürzen.
ANMERKUNG 2: Anforderungen an Hydraulikschläuche für den untertägigen Bergbau sind in separaten Normen genormt.
Tuyaux et flexibles en plastique - Type hydraulique en thermoplastiques à armature de textile - Spécification
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences pour deux types de tuyaux et assemblages flexibles thermoplastiques à armature textile dont la pression maximale de service est comprise entre 69 bar et 345 bar. Ces tuyaux sont destinés à être utilisés avec :
- les fluides hydrauliques synthétiques à base de pétrole selon une plage de température de -40 °C à +100 °C;
- les fluides hydrauliques aqueux selon une plage de température de 0 °C à +70 °C.
La norme ne contient pas d'exigences sur les extrémités de raccordement. Elle se limite aux performances des assemblages flexibles.
NOTE 1 Les températures de service supérieures à 100 °C peuvent réduire matériellement la durée de vie du tuyau.
NOTE 2 Les exigences relatives aux tuyaux hydrauliques pour mines souterraines font l'objet de normes séparées.

Overview
prEN 855 rev (to supersede EN 855:1996) specifies performance requirements for thermoplastics textile reinforced hydraulic hoses and hose assemblies. It covers two hose types (R7 and R8) with maximum working pressures from 69 bar to 345 bar, intended for use with:
- petroleum and synthetic hydraulic fluids at -40 °C to +100 °C, and
- water‑based hydraulic fluids at 0 °C to +70 °C.
This European Standard addresses hose construction, dimensions, mechanical and environmental performance, testing and marking. It does not set requirements for end fittings; fittings are evaluated only as part of hose assembly performance testing.
Key Topics
- Types and designation
- Two types: R7 and R8 (designation example: Hose EN 855 – R7 10).
- Materials & construction
- Seamless thermoplastic inner lining, synthetic-fibre reinforcement, thermoplastic cover resistant to fluids and weather.
- Dimensions & tolerances
- Internal/external diameter and concentricity (EN ISO 4671); length tolerances for hoses and assembled hoses.
- Hydrostatic requirements
- Maximum working, proof and burst pressures tested to EN ISO 1402 (values vary by nominal bore and type within the 69–345 bar range).
- Length change under pressure limited to ±3%.
- Impulse testing
- Per EN ISO 6803 at 100 °C: R7 - ≥150 000 cycles at 125% MW; R8 - ≥200 000 cycles at 133% MW.
- Mechanical limits
- Minimum bend radius specified per nominal bore; maximum flatness after bending ≤10% of original OD.
- Environmental & durability tests
- Cold flexibility to -40 °C (EN ISO 4672) with no cracking or leakage.
- Fluid resistance per ISO 1817 (Oil No. 3, 72 h @100 °C): shrinkage ≤15%, swelling ≤35%.
- Ozone resistance (EN ISO 7326) - no visible cracking under ×2 magnification.
- Electrical conductivity
- Annex A test; leakage ≤50 µA.
- Marking
- Hoses marked every ≤500 mm with manufacturer, “EN 855”, type, nominal bore and manufacture date; assemblies carry manufacturer, working pressure and assembly date.
Applications
- Mobile and industrial hydraulic systems using petroleum, synthetic or water-based fluids.
- Suitable for OEM specification, hydraulic system design, procurement, quality control and maintenance.
- Users: hose manufacturers, test laboratories, hydraulic engineers, equipment builders, maintenance and procurement teams.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for two types of textile reinforced thermoplastics hoses and
hose assemblies with maximum working pressure in the range of 69 bar to 345 bar. The hoses are suitable for
use with
petroleum and synthetic based hydraulic fluids at temperatures ranging from -40 ˚C to +100 ˚C;
water based hydraulic fluids at temperatures ranging from 0 ˚C to +70 ˚C.
The Standard does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to the performance of hoses
assemblies.
NOTE 1 Operating temperatures in excess of 100 ˚C may materially reduce the life of the hose.
NOTE 2 Requirements for hydraulic hoses for underground mining are standardised in separate standards.
