It supersedes BS 669 : Part 2 : 1995, which is withdrawn. The standard was first published in 1936 and revised in 1952 and 1960. Sin

11、ce then, three major changes have occurred, namely the introduction of 2nd and 3rd family gases and the adoption of the metric system. In addition the King report1, published in 1977, preferred that connections to gas cooking appliances should be flexible and should incorporate a plug and socket tha

12、t seals automatically when the plug is withdrawn. The 1960 edition of BS 669 was reviewed under the direction of the Gas Standards Committee and the revised standard was published in two Parts: Part 1 : Specification for strip-wound metallic flexible hoses, covers, end fittings and sockets for domes

13、tic appliances burning 1st and 2nd family gases Part 2 : Specification for corrugated metallic flexible hoses, covers, end fittings and sockets for catering appliances burning 1st and 2nd family gases This Part of BS 669 deals with corrugated metallic flexible connections for catering equipment. The

14、 1995 revision included requirements for 3rd family gases. This revision is introduced to permit alternative types of construction. Attention is drawn to the stated manufacturing tolerances and the need for careful quality control as outlined in BS EN ISO 9000. Guidance on the use of flexible connec

15、tions is given in BS 6173 for gas-fired catering appliances. Pressure class 1, type B corrugated hoses specified in BS 6501 : Part 1 in general meet the requirements of this standard. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This

16、document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 14, an inside back cover and a back cover.Section 1 BS 669 : Part 2 : 1997 BSI 1997 1 1) 1 mbar = 100 N/m 2 = 100 Pa.

For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 1.2.2 Informative references This Part of BS 669 refers to other publications that provide in

20、formation or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 1.3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 669 the definitions given in BS 1179 : 1967 and in BS 1179

21、 : Part 6 apply together with the following. 1.3.1 braid A layer (or layers) of cylindrically woven wires covering the hose. 1.3.2 corrugated metallic flexible hose The flexible gas-tight metal element of an assembly without end fittings or covering. 1.3.3 cover Any tubular outer cover used to impro

22、ve the cleanliness of a flexible hose. 1.3.4 end fitting A component permanently factory-fitted to a flexible hose that allows gas-tight connection to other pipework and can be a plug or a thread conforming to BS 21 : 1985, with a swivel, for fitting into the appropriate wall socket or appliance. 1.

23、3.5 end fitting assembly An assembled plug and socket or union complete with swivel. 1.3.6 flexible connection The corrugated metallic flexible hose with braid, where fitted, cover and end fittings attached. 1.3.7 flexible connection assembly The complete assembly comprising flexible connection and

24、any matching socket. 1.3.8 flow rate The rate of flow of gas through a flexible connection assembly under standard conditions. 1.3.9 inside diameter The diameter of the largest sphere that can pass freely through the corrugated hose. 1.3.10 cover material A synthetic material used to cover the flexi

25、ble hose. 1.3.11 overall length The length of a flexible connection assembly, measured while it is lying straight on a flat horizontal surface. 1.3.12 plug and socket or quick disconnect coupling A two part fitting that provides quick connection and disconnection of an appliance at the gas supply, w

26、here the plug is an end fitting of the flexible connection and the socket is an installation fitting which is self-sealing as the plug is withdrawn. NOTE. The phrase quick disconnect coupling may be used interchangeably with plug and socket. A quick disconnect coupling enables 360 axial rotation of

27、the flexible hose with respect to the installation pipe fitting. 1.3.13 swivel (or rotary joint) A permanently factory-fitted device other than fittings defined in 1.3.12 that enables a continuous axial rotation of the flexible hose with respect to the installation pipe fitting or to the appliance a

28、s appropriate without reducing the gas-tightness of the flexible connection assembly. 1.3.14 restraining device A device that prohibits movement of the appliance away from the wall beyond the maximum extension of the device.2 BSI 1997 BS 669 : Part 2 : 1997 Section 2 Table 1.
