CEN PREN 16436 PDF

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for tubing and hoses made of either rubber or plastics for use with commercial propane and butane and mixtures thereof, in the vapour phase, for the connection of appliances (i.e. for instance, from pressurized gas container to a regulator, or a regulator to an appliance or to a metal tube, or an appliance to a valve) in environments in a temperature range from –30 °C to +70 °C. Working pressures are from 0,2 bar to 30 bar. Three classes are defined in Table 1 according to the maximum working pressures and minimal ambient temperatures.

This European Standard does not apply to hoses for :

• Welding purposes (see EN ISO 3821)

• Propulsion purposes

• LPG transfer purposes (see EN 1762)
