17、ow Temperature Flexibility (ISO 4672) Samples shall be subjected to -40 +/- 2 C for a period of 24 h, after which the hose shall be flexed in the cold chamber through 180 from the center line around a mandrel having a diameter of 8 times the nominal O.D. of the hose. Flexing shall be accomplished wi
18、thin 4 s. Hose shall not fracture or show any cracks, or breaks in the tube or cover. 3.6.5 Accelerated Impulse Test (ISO 6803) Test Method: Hose assemblies and/or uncoupled hose, where applicable shall be preconditioned by filling with current production approved power steering fluid closed at both

For initial qualification the aged hose assemblies must withstand 400,000 impulse cycles at max working pressure of 1.7 MPa without bursting or show any signs of failure. Initial qualification must be run to failure. Periodic cert

28、h an adequate date code to maintain lot traceability. It is the hose manufacturers responsibility to keep complete records against this date code showing the date of manufacturer of hose materials and test results. Markings shall not be soluble in water or automatic transmission fluid or power steer
29、ing fluid. These markings shall appear on the outer cover of the hose in contrasting color, at intervals of not greater than 250 mm.
