This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for all vehicle hydraulic brake hoses. It is an accelerated test which is intended to provide the user with a method of comparing the ability of hydraulic brake hose designs to retard the ingress of moisture into brake fluid.

This document specifies a laboratory performance requirement. ASTM D 1364 interlaboratory reproducibility and correlation of data have not been defined, nor has correlation been established between field vehicle brake fluid moisture content and data obtained by this document.
