Now provide the full content of SAE J1401 standard; SAE J1401 is a testing standard for hydraulic brake hoses used in road vehicle hydraulic systems, and also specifies the standard methods for distinguishing between major manufacturers. This version of the standard is J1401-2003, and subsequent numbers specify the year in which the most recent standard modification was adopted. SAE J1401 standard English original text 1 ScopeThis SAE Standard specifies the performance tests and requirements for hydraulic brake hose assemblies used in the hydraulic braking system of a road vehicle. It also specifies the methods used for identification of the hose manufacturer. This document applies to brake hose assemblies made of a hose fabricated from yarn and natural or synthetic elastomers and assembled with metal end fittings for use with nonpetroleum-base brake fluids as specified in SAE J1703 and SAE J1705.The nominal internal diameter of the brake hose shall fall within one of the following values:a. 3.5 mm or less (1/8 in or less)b. 4 to 5 mm (3/16 in)2.References2.1 Applicable Publications—The following publications form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein.
