1 Scope
This standard specifies the dimensional specification, performance requirements, test methods, inspection rules, packaging, marking, transportation, storage and etc. of polyamide tubing and tube assemblies for air braking systems of vehicles.
This standard is applicable to the tubing system with maximum working pressure of 1.0Mpa or 1.25MPa.
Applicable working temperature range of the tubing system specified in this standard is -40~100℃.
This standard is not applicable to polyamide spiral tube assemblies between motor vehicles and towed vehicles. See QC/T 79 for requirements of spiral tube assemblies.
Note: see Annex D for summary of tests and corresponding specimens.
