This specification covers two types of hose fabricated from fabric braid and synthetic rubber, assembled with end fittings for use in automotive power steering applications as flexible connections within the temperature range of –40 to +121 C (–40 to +250 F) average, + 149 C (+ 300 F) maximum peaks. These hoses are intended for use in applications where reduction in amplitude of pump pressure pulsations is required.
- Type 1 hose shall be suitable for 1500 psi maximum working pressure.
- Type 2 hose shall be suitable for 1300 psi maximum working pressure.
