IS 446:2017 Textile-reinforced rubber and thermoplastic hoses for compressed air This standard provides overall essential dimensions, chemical resistance requirements, and operating parameters necessary for defining applications of hoses reinforced with textile materials, intended for conveying compressed air. Application Hoses made by the use of this standard are intended to be used in various industrial applications, along with overcoming the pressure and stresses encountered in compressing air. Textile reinforcements enhance the strength and durability of the hose, thereby making the hose suitable for a demanding environment wherein reliability is a prime concern. These hoses are designed to ensure the safe transportation of compressed air healthily and productively while supporting quite many industrial processes.
The application of the hose is mainly prevalent in automotive workshops for air-powered tools, on sites for pneumatic equipment, and in manufacturing for air-driven machinery. Certification against this standard ensures that the hoses meet strict safety and performance standards, minimizing the occurrence of equipment breakdown and potential hazards. Textile-reinforced compressed air hoses have very strong market appeal because of their versatility and critical applications in various industries. This is ostensibly from their extensive use, particularly in automotive repair, construction, and manufacturing industries. Conforming to all the requirements specified in IS 446:2017, such hoses would help in achieving reliable performance and add significantly to the smooth running of several pneumatic systems.
- Automotive Workshops: Powering air tools like impact wrenches and pneumatic drills.
- Construction Sites: Operating pneumatic equipment such as drills and hammers.
- Manufacturing Facilities: Powering air-driven machinery and automated systems.
Overview of IS 446:2017 or ISO 2398:2006
IS 446:2017, which is identical to ISO 2398:2006, covers the requirements of hoses from rubber and thermoplastic reinforced with textiles, which are intended for use with compressed air. Hoses assume a very critical position in circumstances where the presence of high or ultra-high compressed air in various industrial settings calls for safe and efficient transmission.

Key Aspects of IS 446
- Material Specifications: The specification covers the requirements of rubber and thermoplastic hoses with textile yarn reinforcement to enhance strength and durability.
- Performance Requirements: Since the performance requirement prescribed in IS 446:2017 for these hoses is so strict, it shall handle high pressure, and be abrasion-resistant, along with flexibility tested for retaining the same over a continuous period.
- Safety Needs: Through confirmation to this standard, in those areas that may otherwise see the end of it in terms of harsh conditions, this will lead to no harm like rapture or leakages.
- Testing and Compliance: The standard has specified a good number of stringent test procedures to ensure conformance of the hose to all requirements. Among those are tensile, pressure, ozone resistance, and flexibility tests.
