20/30359760 DC

This standard 20/30359760 DC BS ISO 20444. Rubber and plastics hoses. Determination of abrasion resistance of the outer cover. Abrasion tests where the hose is rotated against a reciprocating abrasion tool is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.040.70 Hoses and hose assemblies

This document specifies a method for the determination of the abrasion resistance of the outer cover of rubber and plastics hoses.

This test method is suitable for hoses with outside diameters from 10 mm to 100 mm.

This method is intended primarily for testing hydraulic hoses having textile- or wire-reinforcement and a nominally smooth and parallel cover, and other hoses of a similar type.

This method is not intended for predicting product abrasion life, but is suitable for the comparison of abrasion levels.
