1、ANSIIAIIM MSl5-2000 Standard for Information and Image Management - Dimensions and Operational Constraints for Single-Core Cartridge for I6 rnm Processed Microfilm An American National Standards institute Standard prepared by the Association for Information and Image Management International Approve
2、d as an American National Standard July 18, 2000 Abstract: This standard specifies the physical and performance characteristics of cartridges used for storing and viewing processed 16 mm microfilm. The intent of the standard is to achieve compatibility between the cartridge and automatic threading r
3、eaders and reader-printers. DIMENSIONS AND OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS FOR SINGLE-CORE CARTRIDGE FOR 16 MM PROCESSED MICROFILM - ANSIIAIIM MS15-2000 Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the re- American quirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for
4、 approval have been National met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Re- Standard view, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected in- terests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple ma
5、jority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be consid- ered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he ha
6、s approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchas- ing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National
7、 Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Stan- dards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page
8、 of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaf- firm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standard
9、s may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

17、E-CORE CARTRIDGE FOR 16 MM PROCESSED MICROFIUM- ANSIIAIIM MS15-2000 Foreword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard for Information and Image Management -Di- mensions and Operational Constraints for Single-Core Cartridge for 16 mm Processed Microfilm, In 1969, ANSI subcommittee PH5
18、.1 formed a task group to develop standards for single- and double-core film containers. Later, both subcommittee PH5.1 and its parent committee PH5 disbanded, and AIIMs committee CI 1, Supply Items Committee, assumed work on developing standards for film containers and prepared the 1990 edition of
19、ANSIIAIIM MS15. The current, 2000 edition was prepared by committee C23, Micrographic Technology Committee, which replaced CI I. This edition of ANSI/AIIM MS 15-2000 fully replaces the 1990 edition. This revision to the 1990 standard includes a new Figure 2A to provide the dimensions for a reel that
20、 provides additional clearance between the flanges of the reel and the inner walls of the enclosed cartridge described in Figure 3. Reels meeting the dimensions in Figure 2 and 2A are suitable for all applications. Figure 3 has been modified to add di- mensions 2s and 2T. The addition of the 2s dime
21、nsion reduces the clearance of the flanges of the reel with the sides of the enclosed cartridge compared to the 1990 revision. The 2s and 2T dimensions are only necessary when an M style cartridge reel (metal insert drive) is housed in the ANSI/AIIM standard enclosed case. These dimensions are neces
22、sary to control the wide leader in the M style cartridge. It is not the purpose of this standard to generate image or film-quality standards, since these can be de- rived from already existing standards. Neither is it within the scope of this standard to address film-coding methods, since they are c
23、onsidered to be a determination made between the vendor and the user. Annex A is informative and offers additional information. Suggestions for improving this standard are welcome. They should be sent to Chair, Standards Board, Association for Information and Image Management, 11 O0 Wayne Avenue, Su

28、hat is, the cartridge has only a single reel and therefore a single core. This is a distinguishing feature as compared to the cassette, which has two cores. 3.7 Terminator A coupling device such as a metal clip, hitch, boss, or ear attached to the leading end of the film for threading purposes. 3.8
29、Threading Transferring the leading end of the film from the cartridge into the reader, around all idlers, rollers, and sprockets to the take-up device of the reader. 3.9 Trailing end of film The portion of film beyond the last images recorded (also called trailed. 4 Requirements for Cartridge Assemb
30、ly 4.1 General The following requirements pertain to the cartridge (figure 1 or figure 3) assembled with a reel (figure 2 or 2A) referred to as the cartridge. (All figures are after the annex.) 4.2 Configuration The cartridge shall meet the configuration including dimensions and other requirements s

32、 other film damage on a 3 meter (IO foot) strip of film that has been transported at maximum reader speed back and forth for 25 look-ups (50 passes). This should be compared against reference prints made prior to the test at the start, middle, and end of the film strip. Suitable testing and checking
33、 shall be performed to determine whether such scratching or film damage, if it occurs, is caused by the functioning of the cartridge or by the reader transport system. 4.4 Materials See also annex A. 4.4.1 Impact Strength The cartridge loaded with the equivalent of 30.- m (100 feet) of nominal 0.1 3
34、 mm (0.005 inch) thick film shall withstand the following test without rupture of the assembly and without impairment of use. Test: Drop the cartridge four times, once on a corner, once on an edge, and once on each face, from a height of 1.22 m (4 feet) on a level flat steel surface. 4.4.2 Test Cond
35、itions Testing to determine compliance with impact strength shall be done under the following condi- tions: 50 percent f 15 percent relative humidity; 23 OC k 5 “C (73 OF f 9 “F). Samples shall be conditioned to this environment for 24 hours before testing. 4.4.3 Compatibility All materials of the c
36、artridge shall be chosen so as not to cause loss of information on the film or loss of cartridge function (see annex A). Here firn refers to commercially available film at the time this standard was approved. 4.5 Lubrication The design shall be such that lubrication of the film or cartridge is not r
37、equired by the user. 4.6 Permanent Markings Any marking permanently molded into the cartridge body, either inside or outside, shall be flush or below surfaces. 4.7 Labeling Areas provided for labeling shall be recessed and located such that the information on the label is not vulnerable to damage fr
38、om handling and use. 4.8 Surface Finish The inside surface finish shall be free of any flashing or molding lines in the film path.
