\'Light\' series: coned type (paint spray equipment and other small appliances). \'Medium\' series: flat and coned types (light pneumatic tools in general engineering and allied industries). \'Heavy\' series: flat and coned types (heavy type pneumatic tools such as rock drills and kindred equipment in the mining and quarrying industries and civil engineering). Working pressures not exceeding 150 lb/sq in. Workmanship, interchangeability, hydraulic testing, materials. Screw threads (B.S.P. Whitworth threads for \'light\' and \'medium\', Unified for \'heavy\'). Illustrations, dimensions. See BS 1782.

Part 1 of this standard specifies requirements for hose couplings of ⅛ in., 3/16 in., ¼ in., 5/16 in., ⅜ in. and 3/2 in. nominal sizes, for use at pressures not exceeding 150 lb/sq. in.
