This SAE Standard covers hose fabricated from textile reinforcement and synthetic rubber, assembled with clamps and/or end fittings for use in high- temperature automotive power steering applications as flexible connections within the temperature range of -40 to +150 degrees C (-40 to +302 degrees f) maximum and 1.21 MPa (175 psi) maximum working pressure. This specification defines the minimum performance levels of a flexible connector in the hydraulic steering system to convey power steering fluid from the steering gear back to the pump/reservoir.
