Resumen:
This European Standard specifies the characteristics and
performance requirements for tubing and hoses made of either rubber
or plastics for use with commercial propane and commercial butane
and mixtures thereof, in the vapour phase, for connection of
appliances, from: - pressurized gas container to a regulating
device, - pressurized gas container to an appliance, - regulating
device to an appliance, and - regulating device to installation
pipework, in environments of a temperature range from -30 °C to +70
°C. Working pressures are from 0 bar to 30 bar. Three classes are
defined in Table 1 according to the maximum working pressures and
minimum ambient temperatures. This European Standard only covers
the tubing or hose part of assemblies. The assemblies themselves
will be covered by EN 16436-2. This European Standard does not
apply to hoses for: - welding purposes (see EN ISO 3821, EN 1327);
- propulsion purposes; - LPG transfer purposes (see EN 1762).
