BIS CERTIFICATION PROCESS INFORMATION FOR
Rubber Hoses For Sand And Grit Blasting
IS 5894 OR ISO 3861

Introduction

The rubber hoses meeting the requirements in IS 5894:2018 find their applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. Because of the ability of these hoses types to bear very high pressure in addition to other strong forces, the thermoplastic hoses that meet the specifications in ISO 3861:2005 find their application in the blasting by abrasive materials during metal surface cleaning, rust removal, and preparation of surfaces. The main purpose of these hoses is the supply of sand and other abrasive materials for surface treatment and preservation. Therefore, certifications ensure dependability on the quality of hoses so that they cannot fail in the process for sustained performance.

In this respect, the demand for such hoses in the market is high, given that they are in high demand for cleaning metal surfaces, machinery maintenance, and infrastructure care. Their continued usage clearly shows that they are important in sustaining industrial productivity and durability. Product end uses

Overview of IS 5894:2018 or ISO 3861:2005

The general application of rubber and thermoplastic hoses below standards IS 5894:2018 or ISO 3861:2005 relates to sand and grit blasting. In this regard, the blasting action employs the use of abrasive particles like sand, steel grit, or other forms of grit material projected by pneumatic energy at high speed through the hose against an object's surface.

Key Aspects of IS 5894:2018 or ISO 3861:2005

  1. Rust Removal: Sand and grit blasting removes rust from metal surfaces, vital for automotive repair, shipbuilding, and structural maintenance.
  2. Paint Stripping: These hoses are used in paint stripping to remove old paint from vehicles, machinery, and buildings, aiding in refurbishment and repainting.
  3. Surface Preparation: These hoses are used for sand and grit blasting to clean and smooth surfaces before applying coatings, ensuring better adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.
  4. Shaping and Texturing: These hoses shape and texture surfaces in industrial processes, such as metal fabrication, by delivering abrasive materials with precision. They ensure effective cleaning, smoothing, and shaping, which is crucial for high-quality, durable final products.

Case Studies

One of the leading manufacturers of automotive interior parts experienced a problem with inconsistent dimensions and poor fits of their plastic components, which always caused frequent assembly issues, higher production costs, and complaints from customers. To overcome this problem, the company introduced ISO 3861:2005 for general dimensional and geometrical tolerances. The change improved the product consistency and fit considerably, reduced assembly problems, and enhanced the quality of the products in general. In return, Elite secured contracts with several major automotive manufacturers, managed to increase its market share, and enhanced its reputation for precision and reliability. Adherence to ISO 3861:2005 means not only compliance with the highest international standards but also the strengthening of relations with the client, raising the demand for products.
