Hose Specifications

If you have:	Then:
Hose subject to container pressure	Design it with a minimum working pressure of 350 psig; and
	Burst pressure of 1750 psig.
Hose and their connections	Design them for the maximum low side working pressure when located on either:
	1.	The pressure reducing valves on devices discharging to atmospheric pressure; or
	2.	The low pressure side of flow control.
	Design, construct, and install so there is no leakage when connected.
Liquid transfer hose that is not drained of liquid upon completion of transfer operations	Equip with an approved shut off valve at the discharge end.
	Prevent excessive hydrostatic pressure in the hose.
