25、Association . All Rights Reserved. NFPA 1961 Standardon FireHose 2013Edition This edition of NFPA 1961, Standard on Fire Hose, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Hose. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 29, 2012, with an effective date of June 18, 2012, and supersedes all pre
26、vious editions. This edition of NFPA 1961 was approved as an American National Standard on June 18, 2012. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA1961 Standards on fire hose for both industrial use and fire department use were among the earliest standards issued by NFPA, with the first standard issued in 1898. NF
27、PA 196 was issued in 1934 as Standard Specification for Cotton Rubber-Lined Fire Hose for Public and Private Fire Depart- ment Use. That standard remained in existence until 1958, when the Fire Hose Committee was again constituted to update the requirements. A tentative standard was issued in 1958 a
28、nd the official standard was issued in 1960 recognizing the newer synthetic materials that were being used in the manufacture of fire hose. The 1960 standard covered fire hose in the 1 in., 1 1 2 in., 2 in., and 2 1 2 in. sizes for single or multiple jacket hose and 3 in. and 3 1 2 in. sizes for mul
29、tiple jacket hose. In the 1972 edition, the concept of single jacket relay supply hose in the trade sizes of 3 in., 4 in., 4 1 2 in., 5 in., and 6 in. was introduced. In 1979 the standard was renumbered from NFPA 196 to NFPA 1961 to coincide with a general renumbering of the fire service standards.
30、In the 1992 edition, the term “rack and reel hose” was changed to “occupant use hose,” the requirements for forestry hose were updated, and the requirements for suction hose were added. The 1997 edition was a reconfirmation of the 1992 edition. The 2002 edition was completely revised to conform to t
31、he Manual of Style for NFPA Techni- cal Committee Documents, to clean up ambiguous language, and to clarify the requirements. Procurement-related issues were deleted from the requirements of the document, and an equivalency statement and a formal retroactivity statement were added. The minimum trade
32、 size requirement was dropped for all but supply hose. The requirements for specific lengths were changed to only require a tolerance on the stated nominal length. Positive pressure requirements for hard suction hose were deleted. A cold resistance test was added for all hose. Specific requirements
33、were added to test the hose for abrasion resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, degradation from repeated bending, and degradation from alternating pressures. The flexibility and compressibility test method for forestry hose that had previously referenced USDA Forest Service specifications w
34、as stated in the standard. The chapter on inspection and tests was reorganized around four subject areas: quality control, inspection, testing, and certification. The 2007 edition was a general update of the 2002 edition and clarified ambiguous re- quirements. The section for testing elongation, twi
35、st, warp, and rise was revised to clarify the four distinct tests. This edition also required all new fire hose to be marked with the country of origin. The 2013 edition of NFPA 1961 requires that the maximum friction loss be within the requirements of ANSI/UL 19, Lined Fire Hose and Hose Assemblies
36、. It also requires that hose be marked with the manufacturers identification as well as the country of origin. This edition also allows the Authority Having Jurisdiction to request from the manufacturer that the ser- vice test pressure marked on the hose be lower than the actual service test pressur
37、e, but not less than the minimum requirements of Chapter 4. Minor editorial changes also were made throughout for clarification and ease of use. 19611 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.Tech
