USCG Exam PracticeHydraulics and pneumatics
Under 46 CFR §28.880, nonmetallic flexible hose used in a hydraulic system must be marked with which of the following information?
- ✓ Manufacturer's name or trademark, type or catalog number, and maximum allowable working pressureCorrect
- B. Burst pressure rating, SAE standard number, and installation date
- C. Minimum bend radius, fluid compatibility rating, and maximum operating temperature
- D. Hose length, end fitting type, and system identification number
Why A is correct
46 CFR §28.880(j) requires that nonmetallic flexible hose be marked with the manufacturer's name or trademark, type or catalog number, and maximum allowable working pressure. Burst pressure, SAE number, bend radius, and temperature ratings are relevant engineering data but are not the marking requirements specified in this section.
