TS EN ISO 7369

TS EN ISO 7369 is the vocabulary standard for metal hoses and hose assemblies. OFFICIAL SCOPE IS UNAVAILABLE. In this kind of terminology document, the main value is consistent language: it helps users distinguish the hose element itself from a complete hose assembly, and separates related concepts such as end fittings, connections, reinforcement, and mounting arrangement. Metal hoses are flexible components used in pipework where movement, vibration, thermal expansion, or alignment correction must be accommodated while maintaining fluid conveyance.

What the terminology is meant to organise

At a general technical level, metal hose systems are described through their core parts and configuration. The distinction between a hose and a hose assembly matters because the first refers to the flexible element, while the second usually denotes the finished unit with attached ends and associated hardware. A vocabulary standard supports design, procurement, maintenance, and documentation by making sure the same terms are used with the same meaning across the industry. For users, that reduces ambiguity when specifying components or discussing system layouts.

General engineering context for metal hoses

In common engineering practice, metal hoses are selected where flexibility must coexist with demanding service conditions such as temperature variation, vibration, or complex installation geometry. Material selection, braid or reinforcement arrangement, corrugation profile, and end connection type are all important to performance. Because no verified scope text is available for this record, specific classes, dimensions, test methods, limits, or exclusions should not be attributed to this standard here. As a withdrawn standard listing, this entry primarily serves as a terminology reference rather than a claim about current normative requirements.
