4、cordance withWater Body Classifications3. Material Characteristics3.1 End connector and cross pin materials shall be corrosionresistant in sea water and such other environments as theintended service may require. If dissimilar metals are used,care shall be used in design to avoid galvanic corrosion.
5、3.2 Any material is acceptable for construction of the boomconnector provided consideration is given to such factors asweight, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, flexibility,and conditions of the environment in which it is to be used.4. Design Requirements4.1 The minimum tensile strength of a
6、 boom-to-boomconnection shall equal or exceed the minimum fabric tensilestrength specified in Table 1 of Guide F 1523.4.2 When the connector is designed as an integral part of theboom, it shall ensure distribution or transfer of the tensionmember loads from one boom section to the next through oraro
7、und the end connector in such a manner that the integrity ofthe joint is not broken.4.3 The connector or adapter shall not take more than 0.04in. permanent set when a 250-lb load, distributed over 3 in., isapplied. The load shall be applied at the location that results inmaximum deflection and shall
8、 be resisted by supports placed12in. from each end as shown in Fig. 1.4.4 In addition to the dimensional requirements shown inFig. 2, the self-locking cross-pin/lanyard assembly shall havethe following characteristics:4.4.1 Its assembled strength shall resist a tensile load of 180lbs placed upon the
9、 closed toggle by the test fixture to whichthe cross pins lanyard is attached without deformation asshown in Fig. 3.4.4.2 It shall have a ring or lanyard loop of a minimumdiameter of 1-12 in. for the convenience of pulling the pin fromthe boom connectors.4.4.3 The toggle shall turn freely and shall
10、latch in eitherdirection.4.4.4 The cross-pins spring shall be captured or locked tothe assembly and shall exert a force on the toggle of between16 and 22 lbs when connectors are assembled.4.4.5 When the cross-pins spring is compressed fully, thereshall be a clearance of18 in. between the short end o
11、f the toggleand the mated connector as shown in Fig. 2.4.4.6 The cross-pins overall length shall be minimized andits ends rounded or chamfered so as to minimize wear and tearon adjacent stored booms or injury to boom handlers.4.5 Pinholes, designed to accommodate the38 in. diameterself-locking pin,
12、shall be incorporated at the design water line(DWL) and, if required, a location as determined in 4.5.1 or4.5.2 and shown in Fig. 4.4.5.1 For any connector with 7.0 - 12.9 in. of connectormaterial below the DWL pinhole, a second pinhole shall belocated 6.000 6 0.0015 in. below the DWL pinhole as sho
13、wnin Fig. 4(a).4.5.2 For any connector with 13.0 in. or more of connectormaterial below the DWL pinhole, a second cross-pin hole shallbe located 12.000 6 0.0015 in. below the DWL pinhole asshown in Fig. 4(b).4.6 Where one half of a connector set mates with one havingthe geometry defined herein but i
14、s of other dimensions, it shallmeet the following design requirements:4.6.1 Possess adequate mechanical strength.4.6.2 Minimize oil leakage.4.6.3 Be sexless (neither male/female).4.6.4 Be full height of boom of which it is a part.4.6.5 Not impair stability of the boom.1This specification is under th

Sign
18、ificance and Use5.1 The general design geometry herein defined applies toboth a separate adaptor accessory mating two booms ofdifferent geometry as well as boom end connectors (seeTerminology F 818).5.2 Interconnectibility is intended to facilitate mating of oilspill response booms of various sizes,
19、 strengths, design, andmanufacture.FIG. 3 Toggle / Test FixtureF9620435.3 The use of this general design geometry in no wayguarantees the effective performance of the linked boomsections, since each booms design and the environmentalconditions at each incident govern overall performance.6. Design Cr
