BS860, A

13、pproximate comparison of hardness scales. BS970, Wrought steels. This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee and forms one of a series covering a wide range of hand tools. Provision is made for three types of spring calipers and sprin

14、g dividers, thus recognizing the preferences of individual craftsmen. The range of nominal sizes listed against each type covers those in common demand at the present time. Components of spring calipers and dividers are rarely supplied as spares and therefore detailed consideration has only been giv

15、en to those parts which directly affect the quality, functioning and life of the complete instrument. In compiling the specification care has been taken to ensure that the craftsman has a highly satisfactory tool at his command, recognizing at the same time that further design and production develop

16、ment of the instruments should not be unnecessarily restricted. The dimensions, tolerances and other figures in the specification are given in the British system, which is to be regarded as the standard. The tools are, however, exported to all parts of the world and to assist those using the metric

17、system a conversion table is included. The metric figures are approximate, and more accurate conversions should be based on the tables in BS350. 1) A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct

18、application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 to4, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright dat

19、e) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. 1) BS350, “Conversion factors and tables”.BS3123:1959 BSI 09-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope This British Standard relates to the materials, manufacture and testing of the followin

20、g types of spring calipers and spring dividers. Type A: Instruments with rectangular section legs. Type B: Instruments with squared section legs. Type C: Instruments with round section legs. 2 Nomenclature For the purpose of this British Standard the nomenclature given in Figure 1 applies. Section 2

21、. Manufacture 3 Material The components of spring calipers and spring dividers shall be manufactured from the materials listed below: a) Legs: From carbon spring steel conforming to BS970 2)En42B. b) Spring: From carbon spring steel conforming to BS970 2)En42D. c) Other components: From free cutting

22、 steel conforming to BS970 2)En1B. 4 Heat treatment and hardness a) Legs. The working ends of the divider legs shall be suitably heat-treated for a distance of 3 / 8in. from the extreme tips, to give a hardness that will enable the instrument to pass the test requirements of Clause9 a) ii). b) Sprin

23、g. The spring shall be hardened and tempered to give a hardness reading within the range470/520HV (Diamond Pyramid Scale) using a5kg load. The equivalent values on other hardness scales may be used in accordance with BS860 3) . 5 Dimensions and capacities The dimensions and capacities of spring cali

24、pers and spring dividers shall be as follows: a) Nominal size. The nominal size shall be the distance between the centre of the roller and the extreme working ends of the legs. (See Figure 1.) The nominal sizes of Types A, B and C instruments shall be those given in Figure 2. b) Capacity. The maximu

25、m capacity shall be not less than the nominal size of the instrument. Internal spring calipers shall be capable of effective measurement in the following minimum sizes of bore: c) Dimensions of leg sections. The dimensions of the leg sections of spring calipers and spring dividers shall be in accord

26、ance with Figure 2. 6 Manufacture and assembly Components of spring calipers and spring dividers shall be manufactured and assembled in accordance with the following requirements to ensure that smooth adjustment and efficient operation is achieved and maintained. a) The instruments shall be adjusted

27、 by means of either a knurled solid nut or a knurled quick-action release nut operating on a finely threaded adjusting screw. The type of nut in relation to the class of instrument shall be as follows: Type A. Either solid nut or quick-action release nut. Type B. Quick-action release nut. Type C. So

28、lid nut. b) The working ends of the legs of each instrument shall be identical in shape, with the contact points equally distant from the fulcrum. Each pair of calipers shall have the measuring ends of the legs so shaped that all sizes within its capacity may be readily transferred from measuring sc

29、ales or gauges. 2) BS 970, “Wrought steels”. 3) BS 860, “Approximate comparison of hardness scales”.

31、orking ends, the tops of the legs shall be located in a flanged fulcrum roller and held in position by a spring. The spring, shall provide sufficient tension to hold the legs rigid at all points of adjustment. d) Suitable means shall be employed to minimize friction between the adjusting nut and the

32、 leg of the instrument either by use of a separate washer under the nut, or by a washer-facing produced on the nut. e) One end of the adjusting screw shall be securely hinged to a leg of the instrument, and a steel ball shall be positively fixed to the remaining free end of the screw for the purpose

33、 of retaining the adjusting nut. f) The peg used for rotating the dividers between thumb and finger shall be knurled and located centrally in the spring. It shall be positively and securely fixed so that it will not turn independently of the remainder of the instrument. 7 Finish The component parts

34、of spring calipers and spring dividers shall have a smooth bright finish, or, by agreement between purchaser and manufacturer, parts may be rust-proofed or coloured by chemical and/or thermal processes. 8 Marking Each instrument shall be clearly and indelibly marked with the number of this British S

35、tandard, and with some means of positively identifying the source of manufacture, such as the manufacturers name or trade mark. Form and dimensions of leg sections.

Testing Each instrument shall be capa

38、ble of passing the following tests: a) Functional tests i) Spring calipers and spring dividers. Each instrument shall work smoothly and retain its required size when adjusted to three test pieces or gauges, the sizes of which shall be relative to the approximate lower, middle and upper registers of

39、the particular instrument range. ii) Spring dividers. Each instrument shall be capable of scribing a clearly defined line across the face of a test block, the face of which shall be hardened within the range620/660HV (Diamond Pyramid Scale) using a30kg load. Following this test the working ends shal

40、l still be sharp and visual examination shall reveal no sign of damage or failure. b) Joint and bend test. Spring dividers. With the divider legs opened to a distance of 1 / 4 in., one leg shall be clamped securely in a vice at a point approximately 1 / 2 in. from the fulcrum, so that the two legs a

41、re in a horizontal plane. A test load of10lb(4.54kg) shall then be gradually applied by suspension from the free leg as close to the working end as is practicable. On removal of the load the joint of the instrument shall not have been displaced nor shall the legs show any sign of permanent set. Tabl
