NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 4641 : 2010 ‘Rubber hoses, hose
assemblies for water suction and discharge — Specification, issued by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of
the Rubber and Rubber Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and
Related Products Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1965 and covered hoses suitable for working pressure up to
0.7 MPa (1 MPa = 10.2 kgf/cm2) only. The first revision of this standard was carried out in 1983, in
which the hoses suitable for working pressure up to 1.0 and 1.5 MPa were included. Hoses with
internal diameter of 200 and 250 mm were also added. Some of the constructional details like thickness
and pitch of wire were deleted.
This second revision has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 4641 : 2010 in dual
numbering system to keep pace with the latest development that have taken place at the international
level . in this revision ,the title of ISO Standard has been retained, as it is an identical standard.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standard, which is to be substituted in its respective
place, is listed below along with its degree of equivalence for the edition indicated:

in this International Standard have been met by the method of manufacture and the hose design. Type testing
shall be repeated at intervals of, at the most, five years, or whenever a change in the method of manufacture
or the materials occurs, and shall be performed on the largest-diameter hose of each design in the
