Tubings for air brake systems of road vehicles with the use of polyamide tubes. General technical requirements
Full title and description
GOST R 51190-98 — "Трубопроводы тормозного пневматического привода автотранспортных средств с применением полиамидных труб. Общие технические требования" (English title: "Tubings for air brake systems of road vehicles with the use of polyamide tubes. General technical requirements"). This national Russian standard sets general technical requirements, safety provisions and test methods for pneumatic brake tubing made with polyamide (PA) plastic tubes.
Abstract
This standard specifies the basic parameters, material and performance requirements, acceptance rules, methods of testing, storage, transportation and manufacturer guarantees for pneumatic brake pipelines of road vehicles constructed using polyamide tubes (typically PA 11 or PA 12). It is intended to ensure reliable operation of vehicle air-brake tubing under mechanical, thermal and chemical stresses encountered in service.

Scope
The standard applies to pipelines (tubings) of pneumatic brake systems for motor vehicles manufactured using plastic tubes based on plasticized or modified polyamides (notably PA 11 and PA 12). It establishes general technical requirements for operational properties of such tubings and prescribes methods of testing, acceptance rules, and handling/transportation and storage conditions.
Key topics and requirements
- Permitted materials: requirements for polyamide tube compositions (commonly PA 11, PA 12, and their modifications).
- Mechanical properties: tensile strength, elongation, dimensional tolerances and resistance to internal pressure and cyclic loading.
- Environmental and chemical resistance: tests and limits for exposure to acids, oils and typical automotive fluids.
- Thermal performance: required temperature ranges, heat aging and temperature-cycling tests.
- Safety and compatibility: requirements for fittings, connectors and jointing, plus rules to prevent leakage and ensure safe operation of brake systems.
- Acceptance and testing: sampling, test methods, and criteria for conformity (includes specific test procedures and sample sizes).
- Transportation, storage and marking: recommended conditions for shipping and storing tubing and manufacturer warranty statements.
Typical use and users
Primary users include vehicle OEMs and component suppliers (manufacturers of brake tubing and fittings), testing and certification laboratories, technical regulators and maintenance organizations responsible for heavy vehicles and trailers. The standard is used when designing, specifying, producing, testing or procuring polyamide pneumatic brake lines for road vehicles.
Related standards
The document references and is commonly used alongside other Russian standards covering pneumatic brake systems, test methods and climatic/operational categories, for example ГОСТ 4364-81 (general technical requirements for pneumatic brake drives), ГОСТ 15150-69 (environmental categories and operating conditions) and various safety and dimensional standards cited in the normative references of the text.
