11、n engines on vehicles, covered by 3-6.2.1 of the Standard for the Storage and Handlingof Liquefied Petroleum Gases, NFPA 58. The hose or assembly is to be used and installed in accordancewith 3-6.2.5(d) and 3-6.2.8 of NFPA 58.1.2 The hose or assembly is intended for a maximum working pressure of 350

12、 psig (2400 kPa) and foruse at temperatures within the range of minus 40 to plus 176F (minus 40 to plus 80C).1.3 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or differentfrom those covered by the requirements in this outline, and that involves a risk of fi

13、re, electric shock, orinjury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-productrequirements as determined necessary to maintain the acceptable level of safety as originally anticipatedby the intent of this outline. A product whose features, characteristics, comp

15、ementation of this outline.2 Units of Measurement2.1 If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value maybe only approximate. The first stated value is the requirement.CONSTRUCTION3 Internal Diameter3.1 The internal diameter of a hose shall be equal t

16、o the nominal size 1/32 inch (0.8 mm), as determinedby the method described in 3.2 and 3.3.3.2 A tapered plug gauge of wood or metal having a taper of 3/8 inch per foot (31.3 mm/m) marked toindicate variation of 1/64 inch (0.4 mm) in diameter, a set of wood or metal plug gauges, straight or balltype

17、, in increments of 0.005 inch (0.13 mm), or in some cases, see 3.3, an expanding ball gauge andmicrometer or other equivalent means to accurately measure the expanded ball, is to be used.3.3 The end of the hose is to be cut square. If a tapered plug gauge is used, the plug gauge is to beinserted in

18、the hose sample until a close fit is obtained without forcing. The diameter of the gauge at theend of the sample, to the nearest 1/64 inch (0.4 mm), is to be recorded as the internal diameter of thehose. If a set of straight or ball-type plug gauges is used, the diameter of the gauge, which when ins

19、ertedin the hose sample gives a close fit without forcing, is to be recorded as the internal diameter of the hose.If the end of a hose is constricted or flared, the inside diameter is to be measured far enough from theend to be representative of the inside diameter by means of an expanding ball gaug

25、the rubber partseparated from the plies. In case the thickness of the part is not uniform around the circumference of thehose, the strip is to be cut from the thinnest portion of the sample.5.6 The strip specimen is to be buffed to remove the impressions left by the fabric or braid or othersurface i

26、rregularities, using the buffing machine described in 5.2. A series of five thickness measurementsare to be taken within the area from which the impressions have been removed, and the maximum readingobtained is to be taken as the thickness of the rubber part.6 Reinforcement6.1 A tightly braided stai
