Terminology

Specification	According to which the hose assembly is manufactured
Annular Core	Designed so that each convolution is a complete circle or ring
Close Pitch	Less spacing between the corrugations, thereby giving longest fatigue life  and minimum bend radius
Braid	Woven wire sheath placed over hose which prevents elongation of the hose  under internal pressure
Fittings	Parts attached to the ends of metal hose so that it can be connected to  other components like flanges, unions, stub ends, nipples
Constant flexing bend radius	The minimum radius to which a hose can be repeatedly bent and render  satisfactory flexure life
Operating conditions	Pressure, Temperature, Media, Motion and application involved
Max. Test Pressure	Max. Pressure for testing purpose. Based on 150% of the max.  working / design pressure
Media	Material conveyed by the hose assemblies such as chemicals, gases,  liquids
Working temperature	Temperature which hose is subjected to during operation
Corrosion Data	Contact AIPL or any NACE standards
Rated Burst Pressure	The pressure at which the hose assembly can be expected to fail
Safety Factor	Difference between working pressure and rated burst pressure

* Working Pressure and Test Pressure are at ambient temperature of 30°C. For elevated temperatures,
--please refer temperature correction factor.
* Safety Factor 1 : 4
