EN ISO 8031 ​​Rubber and Plastic Hoses and Hose Assemblies, Determination of Electrical Resistance and Conductivity

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 8031 ​​testing. This standard specifies electrical test methods for rubber and plastic hoses, tubing and hose assemblies to determine the resistance of conductive, antistatic and non-conductive hoses and electrical continuity or discontinuity between metal end fittings.

All test methods described for rubber hoses in this standard can also be applied to plastic hoses.

To determine the resistance of conductive, antistatic, and non-conductive hose, the test should preferably be performed with an instrument with a rated open circuit voltage of 500 V dc, or any known output instrument, preferably specially designed for measuring the insulation resistance. The instrument must be sufficiently accurate to determine the resistance within ± 10%.

During testing, no more than 3 W should be dispersed in the sample to avoid erroneous results due to the effects of temperature. The power dissipated will be determined by the square of the open circuit voltage divided by the measured resistance.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN ISO 8031 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
