BS EN 14540:2014EN 14540:2014 (E) 4 Introduction A fixed sy
19、stem is a manually operated unit installed in a building in order to make it possible for the occupants to control and extinguish a small fire. The system consists of fixed units mounted on walls or in cabinets permanently connected to a water supply. The fixed units are composed of a coupling, a va
20、lve with a pressure indicator, a layflat hose with its support and a nozzle. The fixed systems are specified in EN 671-2, Fixed firefighting systems Hose systems Part 2: Hose systems with lay-flat hose. BS EN 14540:2014EN 14540:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements and
21、 test methods for non-percolating layflat hoses for fixed systems. The hoses are intended for use at a maximum working pressure of 1,5 MPa over a range of inside diameters from 25 mm to 52 mm. This European Standard applies exclusively to hoses for fire-fighting purposes intended for use at a minimu
22、m ambient temperature of 20 C in normal conditions, and a minimum temperature of 30 C in colder climatic conditions and a maximum ambient temperature of +60 C. Hoses conforming to this standard should be used with fire hose couplings conforming to the relevant national standards for couplings. NOTE
23、1 Hoses for use at ambient temperatures below 20 C can be supplied if they have been tested at the specified lower temperature in accordance with 6.4 and identified by their marking in Clause 8 f). Hoses in marine applications and/or aggressive environments to be used with wall hydrants as specified
24、 in EN 671-2 can conform to the requirements of this standard. NOTE 2 All pressures are gauge pressures and are expressed in megapascals1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

28、efinitions given in EN ISO 8330 and the following apply. 3.1 layflat hose hose with a soft wall which, when unpressurized internally, collapses to such an extent that the inner faces of the inside diameter make contact and the hose takes up a flat cross-sectional appearance 3.2 jacket circular woven
29、 seamless reinforcement 4 Materials and construction of hose The hose shall be uncovered. It shall consist of the following: a) a water impermeable rubber or plastics lining; b) a synthetic fibre jacket. 1) The hose jacket can be dyed or pigmented. 2) The hose manufacturer should weave the jacket an
30、d assemble the jacket and lining. The lining should be as smooth as possible so as to minimize friction. 5 Dimensions, tolerances and maximum mass 5.1 Inside diameter and maximum mass The inside diameter of the hose and tolerances when measured in accordance with EN ISO 4671 shall conform to the req
31、uirements given in Table 1. The mass per metre length for a length of hose of at least 2 m, without couplings fitted, shall not exceed the value given in Table 1.

The proof
36、pressure shall be as given in Table 4 and on examination during the test, the test pieces shall not show any evidence of leakage, cracking, abrupt distortion or other signs of failure.

38、batch conform to the proof pressure requirement. 6.1.3 Minimum burst pressure Three test pieces of length 1 m shall be subjected to the burst pressure test as specified in EN ISO 1402. No individual test piece shall burst at less than the burst pressure given in Table 4. BS EN 14540:2014EN 14540:201
