17、iances and equipment. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 3 Undated References 3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be inter

18、preted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 An edge of an enclosure opening, frame, guard, knob, handle or the like of an appliance or equipment shall be smooth and rounded so as not to cause a cut-type injury when contacted during normal use or use

19、r maintenance. Exception: A sharp edge that must be exposed to enable the product to perform its intended function need not comply with the requirement in 4.1. TESTS 5 Apparatus 5.1 The test apparatus is to consist of the following: a) Sharp-Edge Tester The instrument consists essentially of a handl

20、e with a pivoted arm attached. A constant-tension spring secured to the handle is used to apply a steady force to the arm. The arm head is a piece of cylindrical steel, with an outside diameter of 1/2 in (12.7 mm) and a length of 3/4 in (19 mm), located at the end of the adjustable arm. The arm head

21、 is to be wrapped with three layers of tape, the two outer layers act as sensing tapes; the inner layer acts as an indicating tape. Alternately, the tapes are to be applied to a removable sleeve or cap that is placed onto the 1/2 in (12.7 mm) steel arm head. The sleeve or cap shall not exceed 5/8 in

22、 (15.9 mm) in diameter. See Figure 5.1 or 5.2. b) Indicating Tape (Inner Layer) 3/4 in (19.1 mm) wide, adhesive backed, single-adhesive coated, vinyl foam tape, black in color, having the tape properties given in Table 5.1. c) Sensing Tape No. 2 (Middle Layer) 3/4 in (19.1 mm) wide, double-adhesive

23、coated, vinyl foam tape, white in color, having the tape properties given in Table 5.1. d) Sensing Tape No. 1 (Outer Layer) 3/4 in (19.1 mm) wide, single-adhesive coated skived tetrauorethylene tape natural color, having the tape properties given in Table 5.1. The skived tetrauorethylene backing (lm

24、) is shaved in a thin layer from a cylindrical block of material.

32、 center of the head when the arm is between stops. The length of the arm is to be adjustable for calibration purposes. See Figure 6.1 for a typical calibration procedure. Exception: For special evaluations, when specied in the end-product standard, the force may be adjusted to a different value. 6.2

33、 The adjustment set screws that hold the pivoted arm in place in the main drum are to be loosened. 6.3 With the handle securely held in a horizontal position, the calibration weight is to be attached to the center of the head. 6.4 The length of the arm within the main drum is to be adjusted so that

34、the weighted arm remains in a horizontal position with the calibration weight attached. 6.5 The adjustment setscrew(s) are to be tightened to securely lock the pivot arm in place within the main drum. 6.6 The calibration is to be rechecked and the weight removed.

36、 a) First Layer (Inner Layer) Indicating type, black vinyl foam tape as described in 5.1(b). b) Second Layer (Middle Layer) Sensing Tape No.2, white vinyl foam tape as described in 5.1(c). c) Third Layer (Outer Layer) Sensing Tape No.1, tetrauorethylene tape as described in 5.1(d). 7.2 Each tape is

37、to be applied over approximately 180 degrees of the circumference of the test head to prevent stretching of the tape. 7.3 The tapes are not to be stretched when positioned on the head. See Figure 7.1 7.4 The center of the tape-covered head of the sharp-edge tester is to be positioned on the edge to

38、be tested in the manner illustrated in Figure 7.2. The arm of the tester is to be between stops so that the tape-covered head exerts a 1-1/2 lbf (6.7 N) on the edge. The tester is to be immediately moved along the edge a distance of 2 in (50.8 mm) and then back to its starting position without remov

39、al of the tester from the edge. It is to then be withdrawn from the edge. The total distance of engagement between the edge and the tape-covered head is not to exceed 4 in (101 mm). The time of travel is not to take longer than 5 seconds nor less than 2 seconds. Figure 6.1 Typical calibration proced

(Example: For an edg

41、e 1-1/2 in or 41.2 mm long, the tester is to be moved along its length and back to the starting position so that the total distance of engagement between the edge and tester is 3 in or 76.2 mm).

43、D FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 7.5 The tape-covered head is to be examined to determine whether or not penetration has occurred through the two sensing layers. If penetration has occurred through the two sensing layers, the black indicating tape will be visible

44、 through the resulting cut. 8 Criteria 8.1 The application of the sharp-edge tester shown in Figure 5.1 or Figure 5.2 to an accessible edge as described in Sections57shall not result in the cutting through of the two outer layers of the sensing tapes. 9 Report 9.1 The report is to include each of th

45、e following items: a) Identication of the equipment tested, including the manufacturers identity, class of product, and the model designation; b) Identication of each edge tested by description of its location; c) Record of the observation related to penetration of the sensing tapes. (Example: Acceptable or unacceptable); and d) Date of test. APRIL 21, 2015 TESTS FOR SHARPNESS OF EDGES ON EQUIPMENT - UL 1439 12
