Full title and description

St ISO 8330-2022 — Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies — Vocabulary. This International Standard defines and clarifies the terminology used in the hose and hose‑assembly industry to ensure consistent use of terms across specifications, tests and technical documentation.

Abstract

ISO 8330:2022 provides standardized definitions of terms applicable to rubber and plastics hoses and to hose assemblies (divided into hose terms and hose‑assembly terms). It helps harmonize vocabulary for design, testing, procurement and regulatory references; the document also points users to ISO 8031 for recommended terminology and limits related to electrical resistance and conductivity.

General information

• Status: Published.
• Publication date: March 2022 (Edition 4, published 28 March 2022).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 01.040.23; 23.040.70.
• Edition / version: Edition 4 (2022).
• Number of pages: 24 pages (ISO publication).

Scope

Defines terms used in the hose industry, covering both hose-specific terms and terms for hose assemblies. The standard lists terms that may also apply to assemblies (for example: burst pressure, working pressure, proof pressure, minimum bend radius, kinking, impulse test, vacuum resistance) and directs readers to ISO 8031 for recommended terminology and limits concerning electrical resistance and conductivity.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for hose components and features (inner/outer layers, reinforcement, liners).
• Terms for mechanical and hydraulic characteristics (burst pressure, proof pressure, working pressure, impulse resistance, elongation).
• Bending and installation terms (minimum bend radius, reeling diameter, kinking, bending force).
• Performance and test terminology (hydrostatic stability, impulse test, vacuum test, proof pressure test).
• Reference to electrical-resistance terminology and limits (see ISO 8031:2020, Annex A).

Typical use and users

Used by hose and hose‑assembly manufacturers, test laboratories, product engineers, procurement/specification writers, certification bodies and standards committees to ensure consistent terminology in product standards, test reports, datasheets and contractual specifications. It is also used by end‑users and regulatory authorities who reference hose performance and safety requirements.

Related standards

ISO 8031:2020 (Determination of electrical resistance and conductivity for rubber and plastics hoses and assemblies) is explicitly referenced for electrical terminology and limits. ISO 8330 is part of the body of ISO/TC 45 standards covering hoses and hose assemblies and is commonly used alongside product‑specific hose standards and regional/adopted versions (EN/ISO national adoptions).

Keywords

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 8330:2022 is an international vocabulary standard that defines terms used for rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies to promote consistent terminology across the industry.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions for hose construction, performance characteristics, test and installation terms (e.g., burst/proof/working pressure, bend radius, impulse test, vacuum resistance) and notes where electrical‑resistance terminology should be taken from ISO 8031.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test labs, engineers, procurement/spec writers, certification bodies, standards committees and regulators involved with hoses and hose assemblies. These users rely on the standard to avoid ambiguity in specifications and test reporting.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — ISO 8330:2022 (Edition 4) is the active version published in March 2022; it replaces earlier editions including ISO 8330:2014.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the set of standards maintained by ISO/TC 45 (rubber and rubber products) subcommittee SC 1 dealing with hoses and hose assemblies; it is commonly used alongside product‑specific hose standards and related test standards such as ISO 8031.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: hose, hose assembly, vocabulary, rubber, plastics, burst pressure, working pressure, proof pressure, bend radius, kinking, vacuum resistance, electrical resistance.
