22、PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover electric oil heaters for use with Nos. 5 and 6 fuel oil as dened in Specications for Fuel Oils, ASTM D396, or other oils such as heat transfer oils. Electric oil heaters are to be used in ordinary

23、 locations and installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.1 revised August 14, 2003 1.2 These requirements do not cover electric oil heaters rated at more than 600 volts. 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this

24、standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required i

25、n the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction feat

26、ures or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are th

27、e requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information.

28、tandard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 3 Assembly 3.1 The construction of an oil heater shall be such that parts can be reassembled in the intended manner after being dismantled to the exte

29、nt needed for servicing. 3.2 The location and mounting of any integral controls shall be such as to protect these components from damage in service and when the oil heater is dismantled to the extent needed for servicing. 3.3 An automatic mechanism shall be provided with an enclosure to reduce the r

30、isk of unintentional obstruction of moving parts. 3.4 A brazing material for joining liquid-conning parts shall have a melting point (solidus temperature) not less than 1000F (538C). 3.5 Screws and nuts used to attach operating parts to movable members shall be upset or otherwise locked to prevent l

31、oosening under the conditions of actual use. 3.6 Uninsulated high-voltage live parts shall be provided with an enclosure. 3.7 Unreinforced at surfaces of an electrical enclosure of cast metal shall be not less than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick, except that malleable iron may be not less than 3/32 inch (2

32、.4 mm) thick and die-cast metal may not be less than 5/64 inch (2.0 mm) thick. 3.8 To conform to 3.7, corresponding thickness of not less than 3/32, 1/16, and 3/64 inch (2.4, 1.6, and 1.2 mm, respectively) may be acceptable when the surface under consideration is curved, ribbed, or otherwise reinfor

33、ced, or when the shape and/or size of the surface is such that equivalent mechanical strength to that provided by the basic thickness is obtained. 3.9 An electrical enclosure of sheet metal is judged with respect to its size, shape, thickness of metal, and its suitability, considering the intended u

34、se of the complete oil heater. Sheet steel having a minimum thickness of less than 0.026 inch (0.66 mm) when uncoated or 0.029 inch (0.74 mm) when galvanized, or nonferrous sheet metal having a minimum thickness of less than 0.036 inch (0.91 mm), shall not be used except for small areas or for surfa

35、ces which are curved or otherwise reinforced to provide mechanical strength equivalent to that provided by the basic thickness. 3.10 Sheet metal to which conduit or metal-clad cable connection is to be made shall be of such thickness or shall be so formed or reinforced that it will have a stiffness

36、not less than that of an uncoated at steel sheet having an average thickness not less than 0.032 inch (0.81 mm).

37、ordance with the Standard for Pipe Threads, General Purpose, ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. An assembly for attachment to pipe by threaded connection shall have a section intended to serve as a wrench grip. 3.12 An assembly for attachment to pipe larger than 3 inch (76.2 mm) nominal pipe size (Welded and Seamle

38、ss Wrought Steel Pipe, ANSI B36.10M-2000) shall be provided with standard anged-pipe connections. Flanges shall conform to the appropriate American National Standard for Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings covering the material from which they are made. 3.13 A ferrule, bushing, or other functional par

39、t of a heater having a threaded connection for attachment to pipe shall, by inherent design, be prevented from loosening or becoming dislodged as the result of the turning effect of assembly or dismantling pipe. 3.14 A plug, cap, or other part threaded into or on a body shall engage with at least fo

40、ur full threads. 3.15 A spring shall be guided and arranged to prevent binding, buckling, or other interference with its free movement. When necessary, ends of a spring shall be closed and squared. 4 Materials 4.1 A part in contact with oil shall be resistant to the action of such liquid. 4.2 A mate

42、 when considered on the basis of its intended function, following immersion for 70 hours in IRM oil No. 903 (Test Method for Rubber Property Effects of Liquid, ASTM D471-1998). 4.3 revised August 14, 2003 4.4 A change in volume of not more than 25 percent swelling or 1 percent shrinkage is considere

43、d as indicating compliance with 4.3. See Volume Change Test, Section 18. 4.5 A part made of synthetic rubber which may be affected by aging shall not crack or show visible evidence of deterioration following air oven aging. The test time and temperature should be determined using the oven aging tabl
