IS 12492 : 2025/ISO 5774 : 2023 Thermoplastics Hoses (Textile Reinforced) for Compressed Air - Specification
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical to ISO 5774 : 2023 'Plastics hoses - Textilereinforced types for compressed-air applications - Specification' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Rubber and Rubber Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1988 for which assistance was derived from ISO 5774 and subsequently revised in 2023 aligning it with 2016 version of ISO 5774 standard.
Thermoplastics hoses are being used and manufactured not only in developed countries but even in India. Depending upon the usage, both rubber and plastics hoses have their comparative advantages and weak points. However, once the choice to use thermoplastic hose has been exercised, it is important to stipulate the parameters to be tested and also prescribe the most acceptable requirements. Taking cognizance of these changes and developments, it was decided to formulate a standard for thermoplastic hoses.
This revision has been brought out to align with the latest version of ISO 5774 : 2023 in dual numbering system to make pace with latest developments that have taken place at international level.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
