6、d 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 boom-to-boomconnection shall equal or exceed the minimum fabric tensilestre
7、ngth specified in Table 1 of Guide F1523.4.2 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 oraround the end connector in such a manner that the integrity ofthe joint is not
8、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 be resisted by supports placed12in. from each end as shown in Fig. 1.4.4 In
9、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 closed toggle by the test fixture to whichthe cross pins lanyard is attached
10、 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 latch in eitherdirection.4.4.4 The cross-pins spring shall be captured or loc
11、ked 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 of the toggleand the mated connector as shown in Fig. 2.4.4.6 The cross-pins o
12、verall 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, shall be incorporated at the design water line(DWL) and, if required, a locat
13、ion as determined in 4.5.1 or4.5.2 and shown in Fig. 4.4.5.1 For any connector with 7.0 to 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 shownin Fig. 4(a).4.5.2 For any connector with 13.0 in. or more of connectormat
14、erial 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).1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 onHazardous Substances and Oil Spill Response and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee F20.11

Significance and Use5.1 The general design geometry
19、 herein defined applies toboth a separate adaptor accessory mating two booms ofdifferent geometry as well as boom end connectors (seeTerminology F818).5.2 Interconnectibility is intended to facilitate mating of oilspill response booms of various sizes, strengths, design, andmanufacture.5.3 The use o
20、f 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.FIG. 3 Toggle / Test FixtureF962 04 (2010)36. Design Criteria6.1 The connector shall be of the
21、hook engagement design.The geometry of single hook engagement end connectors shallbe compatible with the requirements shown in Fig. 5.NOTE 1The connector opening shall be to the right when looking atthe top of the connector as shown in Fig. 6.6.2 An end connector shall be long enough to be compatibl
