Solid fire hose coupling type C, PN 16; made of brass, for use on ships

This standard specifies technical requirements and testing procedures for a specific type of solid fire hose coupling designed for use aboard ships. The coupling is manufactured with a nominal pressure rating of 16 bar and is constructed from brass material to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. Detailed dimensions, thread specifications, and performance criteria are established to guarantee interoperability and safety within shipboard firefighting systems. The document outlines the necessary physical characteristics and quality control measures required for these components to meet industry expectations for emergency response equipment on vessels. It serves as a technical reference for manufacturers and regulators involved in marine safety equipment production and inspection, ensuring that all couplings adhere to consistent engineering standards for reliable operation under pressure. The scope focuses strictly on the physical and mechanical attributes of the brass fittings used in fire protection systems.
