CAN ULC-S518-11 (R2018) PDF Download

The CAN ULC-S518-11 (R2018) standard sets the requirements for a specific type of hose used for forest fire suppression. The standard applies to cotton-synthetic hoses that are woven-jacketed, lined, and non-percolating. These hoses come in two sizes, namely 25 mm and 38 mm, and must have a minimum service test pressure of 2070 kPa.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the cotton-synthetic forestry hose meets the necessary specifications to effectively combat forest fires. The non-percolating feature ensures that the hose does not absorb water and remains lightweight during operation. The woven-jacketed and lined construction ensures durability and resistance to external factors such as abrasion and heat.

Compliance with this standard allows for the reliable and safe use of these hoses in forest fire suppression activities.
