General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies requirements for three types of non-bonded fluoroplastic lined hoses and hose assemblies with convoluted or smooth linings designed to convey liquid or gaseous chemical substances, hereinafter termed the “chemicals conveyed”. These hoses and hose assemblies can be used for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and industrial applications as detailed in Clause 5.
The hose assemblies are intended for use with chemicals conveyed in the temperature range of −70°C to +260°C and for a working pressure up to 205 bar ).
NOTE 1 This standard sets out requirements for these hoses and hose assemblies to ensure that users are not exposed to danger from fire or explosion and that the environment is protected against contamination or damage.
NOTE 2 Other working pressures than those given above can be agreed with the manufacturer provided the physical properties of the hose assembly materials conform to Clause 8, the hose and hose assembly performance requirements conform to Clause 9 and the hose assembly electrical properties conform to Clause 10.
NOTE 3 Other diameters than those given in this standard can be agreed with the manufacturer provided the physical properties of the hose assembly materials conform to Clause 8, the hose and hose assembly performance requirements conform to Clause 9 and the hose assembly electrical properties conform to Clause 10.
NOTE 4 This standard also provides guidance on the storage of hose assemblies (Clause 15).
NOTE 5 The attention of users is drawn to Annex G concerning the working temperature range which can be affected by the chemical(s) to be conveyed in the hoses and hose assemblies.
NOTE 6 The attention of users is drawn to Annex G concerning the selection of materials for lining, helix wire (if applicable), electrical bonding wire (if applicable), braid reinforcement and cover (if applicable) related to the chemical(s) to be conveyed by the hoses and hose assemblies.

Overview
EN 16643:2016 is a CEN European Standard that specifies requirements for non‑bonded fluoroplastic lined (e.g. PTFE) hoses and hose assemblies used to convey liquid and gaseous chemicals. It covers three lining types (convoluted or smooth) and defines materials, construction, performance, electrical and storage requirements for assemblies intended for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and industrial chemical transfer. The standard addresses use in the temperature range −70 °C to +260 °C and for working pressures up to 205 bar (other pressures/diameters may be agreed with the manufacturer when Clauses 8–10 requirements are met).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Materials & construction (Clause 6, Clause 8): Requirements for fluoroplastic linings (e.g. PTFE), optional helix wire, electrical bonding wires, braid reinforcement and covers; selection guidance tied to chemicals conveyed (Annex G).
- Design types: Specifies three hose types (Type SE, Type SC, Type C) with dimension, bend-radius and concentricity criteria (Clause 4, Clause 7; tables provide dimensional limits).
- Performance & safety (Clause 9): Pressure, vacuum resistance, leakworthiness and mechanical performance requirements to reduce risk of fire, explosion or environmental contamination.
- Electrical properties (Clause 10): Bonding and static-dissipative lining/cover requirements to manage electrostatic hazards during chemical transfer.
- Testing & quality control: Type tests, routine and production acceptance tests and test frequency (Annex A, Annex B); specific normative tests include proof-pressure for lining (Annex C), weep and permeation tests (Annex F, Annex H), flammability (Annex I) and flexibility (Rolling U, Annex J).
- Marking & documentation (Clause 14, Clause 13): Requirements for marking hoses and assemblies and content of test reports.
- Storage guidance (Clause 15): Admissible storage time and storage conditions to maintain integrity.
Applications and users
- Practical for chemical transfer systems in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemical processing, laboratory services, and industrial plants.
- Target users: hose and hose‑assembly manufacturers, purchasers and specifiers, safety engineers, quality managers, and regulatory/compliance teams seeking standards for chemical‑resistant PTFE‑lined flexible hoses.
Related standards and notes
- EN 16643 references multiple normative and informative annexes for testing and acceptance criteria; it complements other hose and fluid‑handling standards (refer to relevant CEN/ISO documents when specifying fittings, connectors or plant system requirements).
- Users should consult Annex G for chemical compatibility and Annex H for permeation behavior when selecting lining materials for specific chemicals.
Keywords: EN 16643:2016, fluoroplastic lined hoses, PTFE hoses, non‑bonded hose assemblies, chemical transfer, hose performance, hose testing, electrostatic bonding, pharmaceutical hoses.

Hoses and hose assemblies for this application shall be divided into eight grades: — Grade I: electrically insulated (no electrical bonding AND no static-dissipative layers), — Grade M: electrically bonded without static-dissipative lining or cover, — Grade

or Table 6 (depending on lining type). Minimum bend radius shall be equal to or less than the values given in Table 1, Table 3, Table 5 or Table 6 (depending on lining type). Maximum working pressures (MWP’s) shall be equal to or greater than the values given in Table 2, Table 4 or Table 7 (depending on lining type). Type C hoses may exhibit differences in flow rate and flexibility for a given nominal bore size and these differences are primarily influenced by inside diameter and shape of the convolutions. To provide scope for manufacturers to tailor flexibility and flow rates for a given nominal bore size Tables for two forms of Type C hose are provided in Tables 5 and 6, which are referred to as manufacturing methods 1 and 2 respectively. These manufacturing methods could be proprietary and therefore are not described or specified within this standard. To obtain specific flow rate and flexibility data the hose manufacturer should be consulted. SIST EN 16643:2016
