tube of oil resistant synthetic rubber and two
textile braids separated by a high tensile steel
wire braid. All braids are to be impregnated
with an oil and mildew resistant synthetic
rubber compound. Alternately, in addition
to inner tube the hose can have one textile
braid, one reinforcing braid of high tensile

than 65
than 35
than 10
the hose
shall comply with requirements of Table 2.

The hose shall withstand without damage a
proof test pressure of twice the design
working pressure when tested according to
the method prescribed in 8.3 of IS 443 :
1975.
16
FMP/IT&TC/
Imp No: /2015
6.7
6.7.1
Minimum Bend Radius and Change in Length at Design Working

Pressure.
The hose shall be capable of performing at
design working pressure when curved to a
radius not smaller than that given in Table 3.
If the hose is curved to a radius smaller than
the specified bend radios, performance
6.7.2
capability of the hose will be reduced.

The change in length of hose at the design
working pressure shall not be greater than +
6.8
2 percent to - 4 percent.
Hose or hose assembly or both shall be
subjected to a temperature of - 40C for 24 h.
After this time and still still at - 4OC, the
sample shall be flexed for 8 to 12 s over a
mandrel having a diameter equal to twice the
minimum bend radius specified in Table 3.
Hose up to and including 22 mm in diameter
shall be bent through 180 over the mandrel
and hose larger than 22 mm diameter shall
be bent through 90 over the mandrel. After
flexing, the sample shall be allowed to warm
to room temperature and shall be visually
examined for cover cracks and subjected to a
proof test as described in 6.6. There shall be
6.9
no cover crack or leakage.

Burst Test
A 45 cm length of hose shall be subjected to
burst test in accordance with 8.2 of IS 443 :
1975. The bursting pressure shall be not less
6.10
17
than 4 times the working pressure.

Change in Length Test
The determination of elongation
contraction
shall
be
conducted
on
or
a

FMP/IT&TC/
Imp No: /2015
previously untested, unaged hose assembly

having at least 300 mm length of free hose
between hose couplings. The hose assembly
shall be attached to the pressure source and
pressurized to the operating pressure for a
period of 30 s, after which
time the pressure shall be released. After
allowing the hose to stabilise for a period of
30
s,
following
pressure
release,
the
reference marks 250 mm apart shall be

accurately placed on the hose outer cover,
midway between the hose couplings. The
hose then shall be repressurised to the
specified pressure for a period of 30 s, after
which time, while the hose is repressurised,
the distance between the reference marks
shall be measured. The difference between
this final length and original length will
indicate the change in length.
For all the three type of hoses that is, Type 1,
2 and 3 the change in length shall not exceed
7
7.1
7.1.1
+2 percent to - 4 percent.
OPTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Impulse Test
Four unaged samples of hose with end
fittings shall be tested. The free length of
hose under test shall be computed using the
following:
90

7.1.2
The test machine for testing a hose assembly

should have the requisite facilities for
maintaining specified parameters. A typical
schematic hydraulic circuit for the hose test
rig is given for guidance in
a.
Fig. 1.
Means should be available for applying a
pulsating pressure internally to a hose
assembly at a rate of between 30 to 75 cycles
b.
per minute.
The internal pulsating pressure curve must
fall entirely within the shaded area of Fig. 2
and should conform as closely as possible to
the curve as shown. The rate of pressure rise
during the first part of the pressure impulse
cycle shall be between 3 500 and 7 500 bar/
set ( 350 and 750 Mpa/sec ) determined as
C.
illustrated in Fig. 3.
The test fluid to be used in the test shall be
fully fortified mineral oil having the
7.1.3
following chemical characteristics:

Maximum pour point 28C
Minimum flash point 190C
Airline point
100 10C
Viscosity
46 mm2/s at 40C
The test pieces shall be connected to the
apparatus and in the case of hoses up to and
including 22 mm nominal bore, they shall be
bent through 180 so that the fittings are
parallel and the distance between the two
ends of the hose at the fittings is twice the
minimum bend radius, + 5 percent - 0 as
shown in Fig. 4. Hose over 22 mm nominal
bore shall be left in a straight condition or
alternatively bent through 90.

No breakdown occurred in the implement during the course of test.

7. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 The specification of implement hitch does not conform fully to the IS: 44681997. This should be modified.
7.2 The mast height of the implement should be as per IS: 4468 (part-I)-1997 to
obtain the positive weight transfer and to utilize proper sensitivity of hydraulic
system of the tractor. This should be modified accordingly.
7.3 The rate of work was recorded as 0.605-0.713 ha/h at corresponding forward
speed of 3.8 to 4.3 km/h, which is considered normal.
7.4 The field efficiency of the Terracer was recorded as 82 to 85 % which is

considered normal.
7.5 Overall performance of implement was found satisfactory.
