33、ion of the links.8.1.5 All components shall withstand the proof test loadwithout loss of integrity or detrimental dimensional changes asdefined in 8.3.1. Components that do not withstand the prooftest shall be discarded.8.2 Design Verification Requirements:8.2.1 The purpose of the verification tests

34、 is to prove thedesign, material, heat treatment, and method of manufacture ofeach size of component. Any change of design, material, heattreatment, method of manufacture or in any dimension outsidenormal manufacturing tolerances shall require that verificationbe performed on the modified components

35、.8.2.2 The tests specified in 8.3 shall be performed on at leastthree samples of each size of component of each design,material, heat treatment, and method of manufacture. Duringtesting, the force shall be applied to the component axiallywithout shock.8.3 Design Verification Tests:8.3.1 Deformation

36、TestThree samples shall be tested andeach shall withstand the proof test load as prescribed in 8.1. Nodimension shall be altered after the proof test by more than 1 %of the initial dimension. Class ML, MCL, and CL componentsare exempt from the deformation requirement test.8.3.2 Breaking Force Test:8

37、.3.2.1 For single leg components, three samples shall betested and be capable of withstanding the relevant minimumbreaking force as prescribed in Table 1 for Grade 80 compo-nents and Table 2 for Grade 100 components.8.3.2.2 For components to which two sling legs will beattached, the minimum breaking

Ductility is defined as the altering of adimension by more than 15 % from its original condition. ClassCLM components are exempted from this minimum ductilityrequirement.NOTE 2It is not nece

40、ssary to test the component to its actual breakingforce as long as the minimum breaking force loads and deformationrequirements are obtained.NOTE 3The breaking force tests may be conducted on the samplesused for the deformation tests.8.3.3 Fatigue Test:8.3.3.1 Three samples shall be tested and each

41、shall becapable of withstanding at least 20 000 cycles of the forcerange without failure.8.3.3.2 The force range applied during each cycle shall be atleast equivalent to 1.5 times the working load limit specified inTable 1 for Grade 80 and Table 2 for Grade 100 for that sizecomponent.

The fixture shall be a maximum of 60% of theinside wid

43、th for Class ML, MCL, and CL components.9. Dimensional Requirements9.1 The dimensions of the components are left to thejudgment of the component manufacturer provided that thedimensions are sufficient to meet the requirements set forth inthis specification.10. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance10.1

44、 The components, at the time of shipment, shall be freeof discontinuities that would prevent the components fromenduring the working load limit forces.10.2 The manufacturer may apply a surface treatment orcoating of their own choice for identification or corrosionresistance unless the customer speci

45、fies otherwise.11. Retests11.1 If one of the verification test samples fails to meet therequirements of 8.3.1, 8.3.2, or 8.3.3, two additional samplesshall be tested. If both additional tests meet or exceed therequirements, the component is considered in compliance withthis specification. If two or

46、more of the original samples or oneof the retests fail to meet the requirements of 8.3.1, 8.3.2, or8.3.3, the component does not comply with this specification.TABLE 1 Mechanical Requirements for Grade 80 Single LegComponentsNominal Size Working LoadLimit, maxProof TestA, min MinimumBreaking ForceAi
