13、of the hose for a duration of 24 h at 100 +/- 2 C. The outside diameter shall not be less than 90% of the original. This requirement shall not apply to sizes larger than 15.87 nominal I.D. 3.13 COLD FLEXIBILITY, Hose No cracks or breaks Test Method: A 450 mm length of hose filled with Fuel C shall b
14、e aged for 70 h at 23 C. After aging, the hose shall be drained. Then, hose together with a mandrel having a diameter 10 times the nominal O.D. will be conditioned for 70 h at -40 C. The conditioned hose shall show no signs of cracking or disintegration when bent 180 over the mandrel. This flexing s
15、hall be accomplished within four seconds. For straight hose over 17.28 mm I.D. and all preformed hoses, prepare strips from the Fuel C aged hose 13 mm wide with length to be equal to the developed length of the part. Condition the strips and a 130 +/- 3 mm mandrel for 70 h at -40 C. Bend the strips
16、over the mandrel and examine for cracking. 3.14 HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE No cracks Test Method: Prepare for oven aging a piece of hose bent into a free loop (approx 250 mm diameter) until the ends meet. For straight hose over 19.05 mm I.D. and all preformed hoses prepare strips of hose 13 mm wide
17、 with length to be equal to the developed length of the part. Age hose or test specimens in an air circulating oven for 70 h at 124 +/- 2 C. At the end of the aging period examine for cracks, restraighten and/or re-loop and examine again noting all conditions. No signs of cracking are permitted when

This dimension is measured while sample is on the test fixture. 3.22 INSTALLATION EFFORT, max 89 N Test must be completed satisfactorily with initial production parts for ISIR approval. Parts must be retested
26、 whenever any change is made which may affect part installation effort. Test Method: Cut hose to 41 +/- 2.5 mm length and immerse one end in 20W oil to approximately 6.4 mm depth.

Mandatory on hoses longer then 80 mm only. c) Ford trademark on hoses longer then 150 mm. d) All of the above printing shall be clearly and legibly printed letters of 4.5 - 6 mm in height and width. When hose is less then 80 mm long, width of letters may be reduced to 3 mm.
