ABS Approvals for Parker Hoses

13-Nov-2009

WICKLIFFE, Ohio – The Hose Products Division of Parker Hannifin today announced that 13 of its hoses and fittings comply with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Rules. The ABS is a ship classification society that establishes standards known as "Rules" for the design, construction and periodic survey of vessels.

By applying these internationally accepted "Rules," ABS classifies ships, which helps assure that they are fit for their intended service. Classification provides assurance to owners, purchasers, shippers, underwriters, and other interested persons that a particular vessel possesses the structural and mechanical capability for safe performance.

"Parker is pleased that a number of our hoses and fittings meet the internationally accepted standards of the ABS," said Anthony Ciocca, Product Engineer in Parker’s Hose Products Division. "Our customers in the marine industry can be assured that we meet these requirements when using our products."

The Parker products consist of non-metallic, flexible hydraulic hoses and fittings within the intended service areas of hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, fuel oils, water, and air.

Parker hoses and fittings that comply include:
