The RMA (Rubber manufacturing process was invented, developed and patented by Manufacturers Association) has developed a classification of hose HBD Industries, Inc. and helps us produce the finest hose products performance based on sample immersions in ASTM No. 3 oil possible. Our CONCURE process assures dimensional stability (High Swell) at 212�F for 70 hours. Oil resistance classifications from end to end, provides a contamination-free and smooth hose for rubber stocks are shown in the table below. tube in long, unbroken lengths. This process and our continuous product quality monitoring give us improved dimensional control and allow for closer tolerance control of the I.D. and O.D. of the Hose Physical Properties After Exposure to Oil hose from the tube extruder to the finished reel on all our Flex Volume Tensile Strength� hose products.
