1、Designation: F 2438 04Standard Specification forOil Spill Response Boom Connection: Slide Connector1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2438; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi

2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers design criteria requirements,design geometry, material characteristics, and desirable fea-tures for oi

3、l spill response boom slide connections. Thesecriteria are intended to define minimum mating characteristicsand are not intended to be restricted to a specific configuration.1.2 The specification defines the geometry required to matewith typical Universal slide connectors or Specification F 962conne

4、ctors with web thickness up to 0.3 in. Some veryheavy-duty or PVC connectors may exceed this dimension andnot be compatible.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appr

5、o-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、tion of Booms in Accordance WithWater Body Classifications3. Material Characteristics3.1 End connector and locking pin materials shall be corro-sion resistant in seawater and such other environments as theintended service may require. If dissimilar metals are used,care shall be used in design to avo

7、id galvanic corrosion.3.2 Any material is acceptable for construction of the boomconnector provided consideration is given to such factors asweight, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, flexibility,and conditions of the environment in which it is to be used.4. Design Requirements4.1 The minimum

8、 tensile strength of a boom-to-boomconnection shall equal or exceed the minimum fabric tensilestrength specified in Table 1 of Guide F 1523.4.2 The connector design shall ensure distribution or trans-fer of the tension member loads from one boom section to thenext through or around the end connector

9、 in such a manner thatthe integrity of the joint is not broken at the fabric connectionor any supplemental tension member connection(s).4.3 The connector opening shall be to the right whenlooking at the top of the connector as shown in Fig. 1.4.4 The connector or adapter shall not take more than 0.0

10、4in. permanent set when a 250-lb load, distributed over 3 in., isapplied. The load shall be applied at the location that results inmaximum deflection and shall be resisted by supports placed12 in. from each end as shown in Fig. 2.4.5 An end connector shall be long enough to be compatiblewith the par

11、ticular boom of which it is a part and not be alimiting member as to the functional freeboard or draft of themembrane.4.6 The design shall include a tethered,38 in. diameter,self-locking pin, conforming to the dimensional criteria shownin Fig. 3, to resist vertical movement of joined connectors inre

12、lation to each other.4.6.1 The pins overall length shall be minimized and itsends rounded or chamfered so as to minimize wear and tear onadjacent stored booms or injury to boom handlers.4.6.2 The pins spring shall be captured or locked to the pinassembly and shall exert a force on the toggle of betw

13、een 16and 22 lbs when connectors are assembled.4.6.3 When the pins spring is fully compressed, there shallbe a clearance of18 in. between the short end of the toggle andthe mated connector as shown in Fig. 3.4.6.4 The toggle shall turn freely and shall latch in eitherdirection.4.6.5 The assembly sha

14、ll incorporate a ring or lanyard loopof a minimum 112 in. diameter for the convenience of pullingthe pin from the boom connectors.4.6.6 The pin/lanyard assembly shall resist a tensile load of180 lb, placed upon the closed toggle by the test fixture towhich the pins lanyard is attached, without defor

18、porated at the design water line(DWL) and, if required, a location as determined in 4.7.1 or4.7.2 and shown in Fig. 4.4.7.1 For any connector with 7.0 12.9 in. of connectormaterial below the DWL pinhole, a second pinhole shall belocated 6.000 6 0.015 in. below the DWL pinhole as shown inFig. 4(b).4.

19、7.2 For any connector with 13.0 in. or more of connectormaterial below the DWL pinhole, a second cross-pin hole shallbe located 12.000 6 0.015 in. below the DWL pinhole asshown in Fig. 4(c).4.8 Where one half of a connector set mates with one havingthe geometry defined herein but is of other dimensi

Significance

21、and Use5.1 The general design geometry herein defined applies toboth a separate adaptor accessory mating two booms ofdifferent geometry as well as boom end connectors (seeTerminology F 818).5.2 Interconnectibility is intended to facilitate mating of oilspill response booms of various sizes, strength

22、s, design, andmanufacture.5.3 The use of this general design geometry in no wayguarantees the effective performance of the linked boomsections, since each booms design and the environmentalconditions at each incident govern overall performance.6. Desirable Features6.1 Desirable features of the conne

23、ctor design include thefollowing:6.1.1 Speed and ease of connection.6.1.2 Light weight.6.1.3 Connectable in the water.6.1.4 Readily cleaned of sand and debris.6.1.5 Inherently safe to personnel.6.1.6 Easy to install or replace.7.
