CEN/TC 342/WG 1 - Hose assemblies and fittings

This document specifies the requirements for design, manufacture and installation of corrugated metal hose assemblies for pressure applications, i.e. maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar.

This document defines current terms concerning metal hoses, metal hose assemblies and component parts.
This document applies to:
a)   stripwound metal hoses and hose assemblies;
b)   corrugated metal hoses and hose assemblies.
NOTE 1  These hoses can be used braided, covered or lined.
NOTE 2  Equivalent terms in English, French, German and Dutch are given in Annex A.

ISO 10380:2012 specifies the minimum requirements for the design, manufacture, testing and installation of corrugated metal hose and metal hose assemblies.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for material, design, manufacture, testing, marking and documentation of stainless steel pliable corrugated gas tubing kits for buildings with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) less than or equal to 0,5 bar and a nominal size range from DN 10 to DN 50.
This document applies to stainless steel pliable corrugated gas tubing kits used for 1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases in residential, commercial and industrial gas installations.
This document does not apply to:
   pliable tubing without cover;
   corrugated safety metal hose assemblies for connection to moveable appliances.
This document does not cover the installation aspects of stainless steel pliable corrugated gas tubing kits.

This Technical Report provides guidance on the design of corrugated metal hose assemblies for pressure applications, i.e. maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar. Allowable stresses are consistent with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
