40、use in oil field drilling andproducing operations.Much of the engineering material pertaining to roller chains and sprockets was base on ASME B29.1 and the bookChains for Power Transmission and Material Handling, published by the American Chain Association. Additionally,portions of ASME B29.1 are re
41、quirements of this specification as referenced herein.Some of the performance related characteristics of the chains that are contained in this document are specific to oilfield chains and to their application to oil field drives. This information cannot be found in other publications andimposes perf
42、ormance testing that goes beyond the basic requirements found in any other standards or specifications.A section on drive design has not been included in this edition of the specification due to the great variety ofapplications and the complexity of the subject drives.Conversions of U.S. Customary U
43、nits (USC) to International System (SI) metric units are provided for reference onlythroughout the text of this specification in parentheses, e.g., 6 in. (152.4 mm). SI equivalents have also been includedin all tables. Formulas and certain relationships are intentionally presented only in U.S. Custo
44、mary Units to precludeany ambiguity between them and tabulated values. Conversion factors are provided below if SI equivalents aredesired for the calculated unit values.U.S. Customary Units are in all cases preferential and shall be standard in this specification. Products are to bemarked in the uni
45、ts in which ordered unless there is an agreement to the contrary between the Purchaser and theManufacturer.1 in.
