1、Designation: F 1523 94 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Guide forSelection of Booms in Accordance With Water BodyClassifications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1523; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t
2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the selection of containment boomthat may be used to control spills of oil and other sub
3、stancesthat float on a body of water.1.2 This guide does not address the compatibility of spillcontrol equipment with spill products. It is the users respon-sibility to ensure than any equipment selected is compatiblewith anticipated products.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as t
4、hestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the a

6、r Tensile Strength Characteristics ofOil Spill Response Boom3. Summary of Guide3.1 Recommendations for the selection of spill containmentbooms are given for five key boom characteristics that affectperformance for each of four water body types (see Table 1).Notes accompanying Table 1 discuss the qua
7、lifying factorsassociated with the minimum values listed, as well as thesignificance of the values as minimums. Classification criteriafor the four water body types are given in Practice F 625.4. Significance and Use4.1 This guide is to be used to assist in the selection ofcontainment boom in accord
8、ance with water body classifica-tions.4.2 A small number of key parameters that generally affectboom performance have been used in Table 1, in order toenable the user to readily identify general criteria for boomselection.4.3 Many factors, other than those listed in Table 1, may beimportant in selec
9、ting containment boom for a particularapplication. Such factors include: flotation element length,wave length, the effect of stronger than minimum requiredstrength members, shock loads, abrasion resistance, stability inroll, resistance to bridging, interval between anchor points andhand holds, use o
10、f reflectors or lighting, compatibility withfresh or salt water, and resistance to sunlight exposure.4.4 The values given in Table 1 are the recommendedminimums for general purpose booms. As identified in 2.3,operational considerations may require trade-offs in boomproperties. Special purpose booms,
11、 and general purpose boomsused in special circumstances, may perform effectively withboom property values above or below those recommended inTable 1.4.5 Effective operation of oil spill control equipment de-pends on many factors, of which the prevailing environmentalconditions are just a few. Factor
12、s such as, but not limited to,deployment techniques, level of training, personnel perfor-mance, and mechanical reliability can also affect equipmentperformance.5.

22、inimum) of boom height for calm, protected, and open water, and a freeboardof up to 50 % of height for calm water-current. Within the range of boom heights cited, values should be selected in accordance with the specific conditions of the applicationconsidering such factors as: predominant wave cond
23、itions, volume of containment, length of boom required, tension on boom, etc.CValues shown for all water body classifications are the minimums for general purpose booms intended for spill response use. Special purpose booms designed forpermanent installations, booms employing balanced upper and lowe
24、r tension members, and external tension member booms may employ hydrodynamic properties tomaintain adequate freeboard and therefore require lower buoyancy to weight ratios, but in no case should the buoyancy to weight ratio be less than 2:1. Buoyancy to weightratios greater than those listed may res
25、ult in improved boom performance under certain conditions, however, further research is required before minimum values greaterthan those shown can be established.DThe dominant variables in calculations of forces on deployed boom are current/tow speeds and boom draft. The specified values represent t
26、he developed tension on300 m (1000 ft) lengths of boom, deployed in a typical catenary configuration with a gap ratio of 1:3, with environmental data selected per water body classification, witha current/tow speed of 1 to 2 knots (4 kts for calm water-current), and, most significantly, the minimum b
27、oom draft per category. Booms with greater drafts should havehigher tensile strengths as follows: calm water 57 N/mm of draft (320 lbs/in.), calm water-current 140 N/mm (800 lbs/in.), protected water 64 N/mm (360 lbs/in.), and openwater 72 N/mm (400 lbs/in.). It is recommended that greater tensile s
28、trengths be used for applications where booms may be subjected to greater current/tow speeds thanthose noted above, or where additional safety factors are warranted. The boom tensile strength is tested in accordance with Test Methods F 1093.EThe fabric tensile strength requirement is shown for two b
29、asic boom designs: two tension members (2 TM) and one tension member (1 TM). Membrane materialistested in accordance with Test Methods F 715 and D 751 (Breaking Strength, ProcedureA: Grab Test Method). Boom that employs load carrying fabric, that is, zero tensionmembers, must meet the total tensile
30、strength requirement previously identified.FThe membrane material is tested in accordance with Test Methods F 715 and D 751 (Tearing Strength, Procedure B: Tongue Tear Test Method). Certain special-usefabrics have fabric tear strengths less than the values listed, such fabrics may be preferable for certain applications such as, resistance to particular spill products, sunlight,and abrasion, and would be acceptable as long as minimum fabric tensile strength requirements are met.F 1523 94 (2007)2
