Safety
MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) Regulations
30 CFR Sections 56.13021 and 57.13021
Except where automatic shut-off valves are used, safety chains or other suitable locking devices shall be used at connections to
machines of high-pressure hose line of ¾" inside diameter or larger, and between high-pressure hose lines of ¾" inside diameter
or larger, where a connection failure would create a hazard.
30 CFR Section 75.1730
(e)
Safety chains, suitable locking devices, or automatic cut-off valves shall be used at connections to machines of high-pressure
hose lines of ¾" inside diameter or larger, and between high-pressure hose lines of ¾" inside diameter or larger, where a
connection failure would create a hazard. For purposes of this paragraph, high-pressure means pressure of 100 PSI or more.
30 CFR Section 77.412
(d)
Safety chains or suitable locking devices shall be used at connections to machines of high-pressure hose line of 1" inside
diameter or larger, and between high-pressure hose line of 1" inside diameter or larger, where a connection failure would create
a hazard.
The regulations may be viewed in full on the Mine Safety and Health Administration website, msha.gov, please check the
website for updates.
Force Chart
Force (In Pounds)
•
For hose ID's from 1¼" to 12" the force in pounds is greater than the PSI.
•
Force is the dynamic power which is exported longitudinally through a hose, towards the ends. To arrive at the number of
pounds of force exerted, you merely multiply the area of the ID times the working pressure being used.
•
Area of a circle: r
2
(PI [3.1416] times radius squared)
