2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 f
3、ea-tures for oil 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 Specifica
4、tion F962connectors with web thickness up to 0.3 in. Some veryheavy-duty or PVC connectors may exceed this dimension andnot be compatible.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not pur

Design Requirements4.1 The minimum tensile strength of a boom-to-boomconnection shall equal or exceed the minimum fabric tensilestrength specified in
10、Table 1 of Guide F1523/F1523M.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 in such a manner thatthe integrity of the joint is not broken at the fabric connectionor any supplemental ten

The load shall be applied at the loc
12、ation 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 particular boom of which it is a part and not be alimiting member as to the functional freeboard or draft of them
13、embrane.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 inrelation to each other.4.6.1 The pins overall length shall be minimized and itsends rounded or chamfered so as t
14、o 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 between 16and 22 lbs when connectors are assembled.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

21、ll be incorporated 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 to 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
22、inFig. 4(b).4.7.2 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
23、 other dimensions, it shall:4.8.1 Possess adequate mechanical strength.4.8.2 Minimize oil leakage.4.8.3 Be sexless (neither male/female).4.8.4 Be full height of boom of which it is a part.4.8.5 Not impair stability of the boom.4.8.6 Require no special tools for assembly.4.8.7 Not reduce freeboard.5.
24、 Significance 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 F818).5.2 Interconnectibility is intended to facilitate mating of oilspill response booms of various si
25、zes, strengths, 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
26、 of the connector 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.
