INDIANAPOLIS, IN - - The Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers (ARPM) released its newly revised and updated IP-2 Hose Handbook.

This publication was reviewed, updated and approved by the member representatives of ARPM’s Hose Technical Committee (HTC). ARPM would like to acknowledge the following member companies for their contributions: Eaton, Gates, Jason Industrial, Parker Hannifin Corporation and Continental ContiTech.

"As fluid handling continues to evolve with new technologies, materials, fluids and a focus on safety, the ARPM HTC and its member organizations have jointly updated this industry reference standard for use by manufacturers, assemblers and users,” said Jeff Epperson, ARPM HTC Chair, Technology Manager Chief Engineer Continental ContiTech North America Textile Hose.  “This effort strengthens the industry as a whole, individual member organizations and those that use our products.”
