MIL-PRF-370J
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 First article. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), hose/hose assembly shall be subjected
to first article inspections in accordance with (IAW) 4.1.1.
3.2 Materials. The manufacturer shall select materials capable of meeting all the operational
and environmental requirements specified herein. The hose assemblies shall be fabricated from
compatible materials, inherently corrosion resistant or treated to provide against corrosion and
deterioration during storage and operational conditions experienced.
3.2.1 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recovered materials
(see 6.5.3) shall be used to the maximum extent practicable, provided the components meet all
other requirements of this specification. Used, rebuilt, or remanufactured components shall not
be incorporated into the hose or hose assemblies.
3.3 Design and construction. The hose shall be finished lengths, as specified, consisting of a
tube (see 6.5.4), reinforcement (see 6.5.5), stiffening (non-collapsible only), and a cover
(see 6.5.6). Hose assemblies shall be the defined types, sizes and lengths of hose, equipped with
end fittings as specified.
a. Tiering of specification and standards. The following documents used for the
procurement of hose or hose assemblies shall be designated as "first tier"
requirements, and all requirements therein shall be applicable to this procurement.
Design and performance data identified in commercially based standards, practices,
and specifications as "General Notes" and "Notes" (e.g. ASME, CIDs, and similar)
shall be required for the purposes of design and performance criteria, Government
and contractor-conducted testing, and other verification activities. The Government's
objective in requiring what would normally be considered secondary/tertiary-level
and referenced information is due to the non-availability of a traditional Government
or commercial-style document that would satisfy this system/item procurement
requirements.
