greater than 25.40 mm (1 in) ID shall be excluded from the vacuum test.
During the vacuum test described, a 915 mm (3 ft) length of hose or a hose assembly shall be held in a
straight line, and no diameter shall decrease by more than 20% during application of vacuum for 15 s and
not over 30 s.
3.5.4 COLD FLEXIBILITY-Hose 19.05 mm (3/4 in) ID and under, with or without couplings, shall be used for this test.
Two samples shall be used for this test. One sample shall be unaged and the other sample shall be
immersed in ASTM Oil No. 3 for 70 h at 100 OC f 1 OC (212 "F f 2 O F ) . The aged and unaged samples shall
then be subjected to a temperature of -40 "C it 1 OC (40 O F f 2 O F ) for a period of 5 h, after which the hose
shall be flexed in the cold chamber through 180 degrees from the centerline to a diameter of 1 O times the
maximum OD of the hose. This flexing shall be within 4 s. The hose shall not fracture and shall not show
any cracks, checks, or breaks in the tube or cover. Cracking of the tube may be determined by application of
the proof pressure specified in Table 2.

3.5.9 OZONE RESISTANCE-Test procedure shall be in accordance with ASTM D 1149 where applicable.
For hose 25.40 mm (1 in) ID and under, a specimen of hose of sufficient length shall be bent around a
