The values

Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard. See Note 5 in Fig. 1dimensions A and Bare critical.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all

9、ifications3. Significance and Use3.1 The use of this practice for the emergency joining ofbooms will not guarantee the effective performance of thejoined boom sections, since each boom design and the envi-ronmental conditions of each incident govern the overallperformance.3.2 Historically, different

10、 types of end connectors have beenproduced. This practice addresses the operational need toconnect different types, during spill incidents. (WarningUseof this practice with similar or different sizes of boom maycause the transmission of unwanted loading such as, tensionloading and bending moments on

11、 certain boom parts resultingin possible premature failure of the containment system.)3.3 There are a wide range of boom connector configura-tions presently in use. These connectors were based upon someor all of the following design criteria:3.3.1 Connect and transfer tensile loads between boomsecti

12、ons,3.3.2 Minimize oil leakage between boom sections,3.3.3 Be easily connectable in the presence of dirt, oil or ice,or a combination thereof,3.3.4 Be quickly and easily connected and disconnected, inand out of the water,1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 on HazardousSubs

Design Criteria4.1 In orde

17、r to comply with this practice for the emergencyjoining of boom with incompatible connectors, each boomconnector, regardless of design, will incorporate the require-ments described herein or use the adaption method in 5.3:4.1.1 A minimum of two holes sized to accommodate 13mm 12 in. diameter 304 sta

18、inless steel bolts will be providedas shown in Fig. 1. Using the boom design water line as areference point, the center of the first hole is to be 12 cm 5 in.above the water line, the second hole will be 30 cm 12 in.below the first hole depending on the connector overall length.For larger connectors

19、 additional holes will be placed at 30 cm24 in. increments from the first two holes. Each hole is to besealed to prevent leakage when not in use.4.1.2 Use of this practice shall not significantly impact theoriginal design criteria in 3.3.4.1.3 Incorporation of this practice shall not reduce thetensi

21、this practice bytesting in accordance with Test Methods F1093.5. Operational Consideration5.1 A suitable non-metallic gasket sealing material may beinserted by the user between the surfaces to be joined. Thegasket material must be impervious to the products containedby the boom.5.2 The user must con

22、sider the transmission of tensileloading between the joined sections. This will include tensileloads on boom fabric, primary and secondary tension members,and the orientation of the tension members (loads may be offsetat the joint depending on boom design).5.3 When the original connector design prev

23、ents the use ofthis practice, a suitable number of adapters should be providedto facilitate connection to this emergency joining practice.5.4 This practice will also allow for multiple boom connec-tions at one point.6.
