14、roval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement

15、 has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of Americ

Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Re

18、quests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action

This standard was developed by the Accredited Standards Committ

29、ee on Raceways for Electrical Wiring Systems, C80. The objective of the committee is to produce a comprehensive specification that would establish uniform dimensions and standard construction requirements for Electrical Rigid Steel Conduit, Steel Electrical Metallic Tubing, Electrical Intermediate M

30、etal Conduit and Electrical Aluminum Rigid Conduit raceway products and their associated components. The standard was originally approved in 1950 and revised in 1953, 1959, 1963, 1966, 1977, 1983, 1991, 1994 and 2005. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcomed. They should be sent

31、 to: National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1847 Rosslyn, Virginia 22209. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accredited Standards Committee on Raceways for Electrical Wiring Systems, C80. Committee approval of the standard does

32、not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the C80 Committee had the following members: J. A. Gruber, Chairperson J. P.

37、 NEMANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-1 For Steel Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) 1 Scope This standard covers the requirements for steel electrical metallic tubing, for use as a raceway for wires or cables of an electrical system. Finished tubing i

38、s typically furnished in nominal 10 ft (3.05 m) lengths. It is protected on the exterior surface with a metallic zinc coating or alternate corrosion protection coating (see UL 797 Eighth edition Clauses 5.3.3, 6.2.4, 7.5 and 7.6) and on the interior surface with a zinc or organic coating. This stand

39、ard also covers electrical metallic tubing elbows. Properly assembled systems of steel electrical metallic tubing and elbows, manufactured in accordance with this standard, and other identified fittings provide for the electrical continuity required of an equipment grounding conductor. 2 Normative R

40、eferences The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute requirements of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this Americ

41、an National Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below unless otherwise specified.
