FM 67 and Vds standards for safety include, but are not limited to, pressure cycling, corrosion resistance, flow characterisitics, vibration resistance, leakage, mechanical and hydrostatic strength. Differences in equivalent lengths are due to varying test methods, per FM 67 and VdS standards. Refer to these standards for additional information regarding friction loss test methods. EXAMPLE: A 8-inch Series AQB hose installed with two 0 bends and two 90 bends at a 7-inch is permitted and considered equivalent to the data in the table shown above. In this example, the total number of degrees is 0, which is less than the allowable VICTAULIC COMPANY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. _5
