Description:
Significance and Use
4.1 These test methods provide uniform methods for inspection and test of rubber hoses that can be referenced in hose specifications for various applications.

Scope
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for inspection and test of all types and constructions of rubber hose.2
1.2 In case of conflict between provisions of these test methods and those of detailed specifications or test methods for a particular hose, the latter shall take precedence.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
