17、1, Balustrade ConstructionEdition: ASME A17.12000/CSA B44-00Question: What is meant by the term “stress limit”? Is it the breaking strength (resistance tofracture) or is it an admissible value that lies under the conventional limit of elasticity (yieldstrength, though we know that glass is brittle)?

18、Answer: The term “stress limit” indicates the breaking strength of glass.A17 Standards Committee Approval: January 26, 2011Inquiry: 07-22 (Reconsideration)Subject: Requirement 2.14.1.7.1, Railing and Equipment on Top of CarsEdition: ASME A17.12000/CSA B44-00 through addenda ASME A17.1b2003Background

25、However, there were requirements in Rule 2410.6 (seismic) forsafety valves. This included requiring that the safety valve stop and hold the car with rated load.ASME A17.12000/CSA B44-00 added requirements for overspeed valves in 3.19.4.7. Also,8.4.11.2 (seismic) requires an overspeed valve to confor

27、stand a closing cycle endurance test.Question (1):(a) Is it required that an overspeed valve stop and hold the car with rated load?(b) Is it permissible for the car to lower into the pit onto the buffers within the decelerationrates permitted by 3.19.4.7?Answer (1):(a) Yes; however, after the initia

28、l stop, slight movement may occur due to cooling of thehydraulic fluid and minor leakage of the hydraulic seals.(b) Yes.Question (2): Is it permissible for an overspeed valve to reset after it trips by(a) running upward automatically to make a correction run?(b) leveling upward automatically?Answer

29、(2): This is not addressed in the Code. However, in ASME A17.12007/CSA B44-07,8.10.3.2.5(o) and 8.11.3.4.5 require manufacturers procedures to be available.A17 Standards Committee Approval: September 16, 2009Inquiry: 08-36Subject: Rule 111.12, Rule 111.5, and Requirement 2.12.5Edition: ASME A17.1-19
