1、ANSI/ASAE S392.2 APR2005 (R2014) Cotton Module Builder and Transporter Standard American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and bi
2、ological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water re
3、source management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged
4、in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible f
5、or protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Prac
6、tices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus,
7、and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not ne
8、cessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE require that action be taken periodica
9、lly to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. All rights reserved.

Keywords: Cotton, Module, Safety 1 Purpose and Scope 1.1 The purpose of this Standard is to provide uniform equipment size guidelines for manufacturers that produce cotton module builders and transporters. Standardization w
14、ill allow harvesting equipment, module builders, transporters, and module covers from various manufacturers to be used compatibly throughout the cotton industry and so avoid problems caused by incompatible equipment dimensions. This Standard also promotes consideration of safety in equipment operati
15、on and transport, and in the transporting of seed cotton modules on highways. 2 Normative References ANSI/ASAE S276.5 FEB03, Slow Moving Vehicle Identification Emblem ANSI/ASAE S277.2 FEB03, Mounting Brackets and Socket for Warning Lamp and Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) Identification Emblem ANSI/ASAE S

The height (A) in Figure 1 is measured from the ground level to the highest horizontal projection which
18、it will be necessary to clear in order to dump cotton into the module builder and shall not be greater than 3.35-m (11.0 ft). ASABE S392.2 APR2005 (R2014) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 2 Figure 1 Module builder 3.2 The width of a module builder is the inside dim
19、ension measured at the base of the module builder. The width (B) in Figure 1 shall be 2.21 to 2.30 m (7.25 to 7.54 ft). 3.3 Length (C) in Figure 1 shall not be greater than 9.75 m (32.0 ft) measured at the base of the module. 3.4 Taper (D) in Figure 1 on the two sides and two ends of the module buil
20、der shall be 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) inward for each 304.9 mm (12 in.) of vertical rise. 3.5 The height (K) of the module builder is measured from the ground to the point at which the sides flare outward. This height (K) in Figure 1 shall be no greater than 2.59 m (8.5 ft). 3.6 The operating weight of the
21、 module builder shall include hydraulic fluid and added ballast. 3.7 Working height is defined as the maximum vertical dimension that can be attained by any component on the builder during normal operation in the field. Working height may be determined from dimensional layout drawings and shall be e
22、xpressed in meters to the nearest hundredth (feet to the nearest tenth). 3.8 Transport height is defined as the maximum vertical dimension that can be attained by any component on the module builder when it is prepared for travel on a public roadway. Transport height may be determined from dimension
23、al layout drawings and shall be expressed in meters to the nearest hundredth (feet to the nearest tenth). 4 Transporter Dimensions 4.1 All dimensions of the module transporter (Figure 2) or module mover truck (Figure 3) shall conform to all applicable federal and state departments of transportation
24、requirements. The following specifications may not include all applicable regulations. Figure 2 Module transporter ASABE S392.2 APR2005 (R2014) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 3 Figure 3 Module mover truck 4.2 Maximum width (F) in Figures 2 and 3 shall be 2.74 m (
25、9.0 ft). 4.3 The length (G) in Figures 2 and 3 of transporter and wheel base shall be 14.6 m (48.0 ft) or less. 4.4 Loading angle (J) shall be 14 deg (or less) measured from horizontal to the loading surface. 4.5 Van bodies, if used, shall be 2.74 m (9.0 ft) or less in width. Adequate marking and li
26、ghting shall be provided. Vertical clearance shall be 4.42 m (14.5 ft) or less. NOTE: Check state regulations for width and vertical clearance allowances. 5 Safety 5.1 Items related to safety shall conform to the following ASAE Standards: ASAE S207, ANSI/ASAE S276, ANSI/ASAE S277, ANSI/ ASAE S279, ASAE S335, ANSI/ASAE S338. 5.2 Cotton module builders and module transporters shall meet all applicable portions of ANSI/ASAE S318 not specifically mentioned in this Standard.
