6、 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 qualifying f
7、actorsassociated 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 F625.4. Significance and Use4.1 This guide is to be used to assist in the selection ofcontainment boom in accordance with
8、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 selecting conta
9、inment 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 of reflecto
10、rs 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, and gener
11、al 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. Factors such as,
12、 but not limited to,deployment techniques, level of training, personnelperformance, and mechanical reliability can also affect equip-ment performance.5.

22、re provided for information purposes only.BThe boom dimensions are given as total height, with an assumed freeboard of 33 % (minimum) 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 shou
23、ld be selected in accordance with the specific conditions of the applicationconsidering such factors as: predominant wave conditions, 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 inten
24、ded for spill response use. Special purpose booms designed forpermanent installations, booms employing balanced upper and lower tension members, and external tension member booms may employ hydrodynamic properties tomaintain adequate freeboard and therefore require lower buoyancy to weight ratios, b
25、ut in no case should the buoyancy to weight ratio be less than 2:1. Buoyancy to weightratios greater than those listed may result in improved boom performance under certain conditions, however, further research is required before minimum values greaterthan those shown can be established.DThe dominan
26、t variables in calculations of forces on deployed boom are current/tow speeds and boom draft. The specified values represent the 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
27、classification, witha current/tow speed of 1 to 2 knots (4 kts for calm water-current), and, most significantly, the minimum boom 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
28、lbs/in.), protected water 64 N/mm (360 lbs/in.), and openwater 72 N/mm (400 lbs/in.). It is recommended that greater tensile strengths 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
29、 tensile strength is tested in accordance with Test Methods F1093.EThe fabric tensile strength requirement is shown for two basic boom designs: two tension members (2 TM) and one tension member (1 TM). Membrane material is testedin accordance with Test Methods F715 and D751 (Breaking Strength, Proce
30、dure A: Grab Test Method). Boom that employs load carrying fabric, that is, zero tensionmembers, must meet the total tensile strength requirement previously identified.FThe membrane material is tested in accordance with Test Methods F715 and D751 (Tearing Strength, Procedure B: Tongue Tear Test Meth
31、od). Certain special-use fabricshave fabric tear strengths less than the values listed, such fabrics may be preferable for certain applications such as, resistance to particular spill products, sunlight, andabrasion, and would be acceptable as long as minimum fabric tensile strength requirements are met.F1523 94 (2013)2
