Typically hoses have a burst rating of 4x working pressure.

Were these rated the same way?

“Typically hoses have a burst rating of 4x working pressure...”

I now do not remember the safety factor, though it was much higher than 4X WP. It is specified in the Mil-Spec, but I no longer remember the number...

Rather ordinary hoses would have a 4X WP safety factor.

Experimentally I made a braided hose in such a way that the yarns were locked so that they could not work together as they are supposed to do - the hose burst at a fraction of rated pressure. So much for that mfg idea...
