HOSE BEADS FOR Ø38 HOSE 1″1/2 ELAFLEX BD38
For some years plastic spiral wraps, hose beads and other accessories have been increasingly fitted on reel or deck hoses of aircraft refuelling vehicles.
They are intended to assist in gliding the hose over the airport apron, prevent excess abrasion of the hose cover, and to enhance visibility of the hose during operation.
Most of the accessories available on the market have not been specifically developed for the use on the airfield.
This situation has prompted the Energy Institute to release the standard EI 1522 ‘Minimum Require- ments for Aviation Fuelling Hose Accessories’.
Tests have shown that most of the currently marketed hose beads and spiral wraps do not fulfill the new EI 1522 requirements, i.e.
- flame test as defined by ISO 1825
- impact damage test ( 100x fall of a filled hoseassembly from 2 mtr height)
- no losable small fastening components such as screws, nuts or cable-ties
- certified by the manufacturer that the accessory cannot generate incendive discharges (based on IEC 60079-32-2).In addition, a daily visual test of the hose is required by JIG and other guidelines. Spiral wraps often cover a large part of the hose, preventing early recognition of hose weaknesses or damage.
