ISO 6134 is an international standard used for rubber hoses. ISO 6134 is a best practice guide in testing and assembling of steam hoses.
ISO 6134 specifies requirements for two types of hoses and hose assemblies, low pressure with a maximum working pressure of 6 bar and high pressure with a maximum working pressure of 18 bar, made of rubber and hose fittings made of metal, designed to convey saturated steam and hot water condensate.
Note: Information on the frequency of testing of hose assemblies in use and storage is given in Annex A and Annex B.
BS EN ISO 6134 on Rubber hoses and hose assemblies is useful for:
Steam hoses are used to allow flexibility and easy deployment of steam. These steam hoses provide heat for lubricating and increasing flow for tank and vessel cleaning.
By using ISO 6134 you can classify the different types of hoses used to convey saturated steam and hot water condensate. The dimensions specified in ISO 6134 is useful in constructing and assembling of steam hoses. With the help of ISO 6134, you can determine the physical properties of finished hoses and hose assembly. These physical properties help in steam and electrical resistance. Marking is useful in identifying the durability of materials used in assembling of steam hoses. By using ISO 6134, you can determine the frequencies of testing these hoses to ensure high quality and standardization in process.
ISO 6134 specifies the dimension and requirements for assembling the rubber hoses for saturated steam. Using ISO 6134 you can manufacture and assemble good quality steam hoses that are useful in transporting oil or water-based fluids.
