This document specifies tests and requirements for the rigid fuel line in stainless steel, a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system component in accordance with ISO 1127 intended for use on the types of motor vehicles defined in ISO 3833.
This document is applicable to vehicles (mono‑fuel, bi‑fuel or dual‑fuel applications) using natural gas in accordance with the ISO 15403 series.
It is not applicable to the following:
a) liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel system components located upstream of, and including, the vaporizer;
b) fuel containers;
c) stationary gas engines;
d) container‑mounting hardware;
e) electronic fuel management;
f) refuelling receptacles.

6.2 Hydrostatic strength
Test the rigid fuel line according to the procedure for testing hydrostatic strength specified in
ISO 15500‑2. The test pressure shall be four times the working pressure.
NOTE The higher hydrostatic test pressure for the rigid fuel line compared to the components in the other parts of the ISO 15500 series is due to the necessary provisions to cope with eventual damage or abrasions under normal operation.
6.3 Continued operation
Test the rigid fuel line in accordance with the procedure for testing continued operation given in
ISO 15500‑2, for a total of 100 000 cycles. Following cycling testing, perform the hydrostatic test in accordance with 6.2.
6.4 Bending
Test the rigid fuel line according to the following procedure and acceptance criterion.
a) Select a mandrel with a diameter according to ISO 15500‑2:2016, Table 1.
b) Bend the rigid fuel line over this mandrel once, forming a “U” shape.
c) Close the ends of the rigid fuel line and subject it to the hydrostatic test of 6.2. At the completion ofthe hydrostatic test, the rigid fuel line shall be tested according to the procedure for leakage testing specified in ISO 15500-2.BS ISO 15500-16 pdf download.
