Abstract: The invention relates to a hose (7) featuring an integrated system for detecting damage and comprising a hose wall (2, 4) in which at least one transponder (8) is embedded. The hose (7) is characterized in that an antenna (12) is also embedded in the hose wall (2, 4) so that an electromagnetic coupling (10) can be established between the antenna (12) and the transponder (8), the magnitude and/or quality of the electromagnetic coupling (10) being a measure of the degree of damage to the hose wall (2, 4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a hose that comprises at least one inner layer (1) produced from an elastomer material, an embedded reinforcement carcass produced from a textile and/or metal material, an outer layer produced from an elastomer material and a coupling having a flange section inside the hose end. The inventive hose is characterized in that the coupling comprises a fitting, a supporting flange and at least one annular lamina. A first reinforcement carcass, consisting of at least one reinforcement layer, extends along the entire inside of the fitting and changes in the flange area from the axial to the radial direction of extension. The radial area of the first reinforcement carcass is mounted between the supporting flange and the annular lamina(e). A second reinforcement carcass, likewise consisting of at least one reinforcement layer, partially or completely holds the outside of the fitting, especially by way of fastening means.
