Rubber hoses and hose assemblies - Wire braid reinforced compact type for hydraulic applications - Specification; German and English version prEN 857:2024

The DIN EN 857:2024 standard, published and effective from October 1, 2024 by the German Institute for Standardization (DE-DIN), sets out detailed specifications for rubber hoses and hose assemblies used in hydraulic applications with steel wire braided reinforcement. This compact type of hose construction is designed to withstand high pressures commonly encountered in heavy machinery and industrial equipment.

The standard includes requirements for material selection, manufacturing processes, testing methods, and performance criteria to ensure the reliability and durability of these hoses under various operating conditions. It also provides guidelines on minimum burst pressure ratings, maximum allowable working pressures, and recommended service life based on application type and environmental factors.

Furthermore, DIN EN 857:2024 addresses safety considerations such as resistance to abrasion, flexibility at low temperatures, and compatibility with different hydraulic fluids. Compliance with this standard is crucial for manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users involved in the production or use of high-pressure hoses in hydraulic systems.
