FOREWARD:
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after
the draft finalized by Rubber products Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Petroleum, Coal and Related products Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1980. In the first revision, requirements for flexibility and
electrical continuity were included. In the swelling test, n-pentane was prescribed as test liquid in
place of iso-octane and requirements for tensile strength and accelerated aging were also
modified. In this second revision requirement for wire braided rubber hose for
domestic/commercial installations have been included. Grip strength of hose, burning behavior
and resistance to crushing requirements has been included. Swelling in test liquid requirements
has been modified as resistance of liquid to n-pentane requirement. In addition to above,
modifications have also been made in scope, proof pressure test and bursting pressure
requirement.
The hoses covered by this standard are suitable for use in LPG vapor phase and LPG/ air
installations. This hose may also be put to ‘wet’ use that is, permanently filled with liquid and in
the temperature range from 20 to +60°C.
In the preparation of this standard assistance has been derived from ISO 2928: 1986. Rubber
hose and hose assemblies for liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), and BS 3212-1991 ‘Specification
for flexible rubber tubing, rubber hose and rubber hose assemblies for use in LPG vapor phase
and LPG/ air installations’ and BS 4089-1989 ‘Hoses and hose assemblies for liquefied
petroleum gases’.
A separate standard IS 10908: 1991 has been prepared for flexible rubber tubing for liquefied
petroleum gas.
This standard contains Clauses 5.2.4, 5.3.3 and 6.1 which call for agreement between the
purchaser and the supplier.
Clauses 5.5.7 and 5.5.8 are for type 4 hose only and Clause 5.5.6 is for Type 1, Type 2 and Type
3 hoses only.

For the purpose of deciding whether the particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the results of a test or analysis, shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (Revised)’.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.
