This International Standard defines terms used in the hose industry. The terms are listed alphabetically in English. When a term has one or more synonyms, the synonymous term(s) follow the preferred term and are also listed in alphabetical order.
Deprecated synonymous terms are indicated by “(deprecated)”. The expression "SEE" is used to refer to another term (not always a synonym) which contains information related to the term preceding the expression.
This International Standard has been divided into two sections:
2.1: Hose terms; and
2.2: Hose assembly terms (includes Annex A: Recommended terminology and limits for electrical resistance, according to construction, of rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies for ISO and CEN standards).
