2、hose substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer and the general public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the Standard
3、or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standard. American National Standards are subject to periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest editions. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard is permitte

BHMA was accredited on 21 March 1983 as a sponsor using the Canvass Method. 3 FOREWORD (This Foreword is not a part o
7、f ANSI/BHMA A156.26) The general classification of builders hardware includes a wide variety of items which are divided into several categories. To recognize this diversity, a sectional classification system has been established. Continuous Hinges is one such section and this Standard is a result of
8、 the collective efforts of members of the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, Inc. who manufacture these products. The total Product Standards effort is, therefore, a collection of sections, each covering a specific category of items. Performance tests and, where necessary, dimensional requ
9、irements have been established to insure a degree of safety and stability. There are no restrictions on design except for those dimensional requirements imposed. This Standard is not intended to obstruct but rather to encourage the development of improved products, methods and materials. The BHMA re
10、cognizes that errors will be found, items will become obsolete, and new products, methods and materials will be developed. With this in mind, the Association plans to update, correct and revise these Standards on a regular basis. It shall also be the responsibility of manufacturers to request such a
11、ppropriate revisions. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Page 1. Scope . 5 2. Definitions 5 3. General 6 4. Test Equipment . 7 5. Test Procedures . 7 6.

18、ducts offered meet the requirements of this Standard and conform to individual manufacturers drawings, specifications, standards and quality assurance practices are available and in some circumstances are required. Buyer requirements determine the need for proof of conformance such as first article
19、inspection, test laboratory reports or listings. Specifiers requiring assertions of conformance utilize statements of conformance by individual manufacturers, or test reports acceptable to the buyer. A-2 PRESERVATION, PACKAGING, AND PACKING Unless other arrangements between buyer and seller are made
20、, preservation, packaging and packing shall be sufficient to protect containers and their contents under normal shipping and handling conditions from the source of supply to the destination point. A-3 MARKING Unless other arrangements between buyer and seller are made, marking shall be in accordance
21、 with the individual manufacturers standard practice. APPENDIX B - (NOT A PART OF ANSI/BHMA A156.26) Definitions of Terms not used in this Standard but common in the Industry. B-1 Bearings A separate component made of anti-friction material placed between the hinge load bearing surfaces. B-2 End Pla
22、y The amount of axial movement along the pin between the leaves. B-3 Knuckle Length The nominal dimension of the knuckle measured parallel to the pin. B-4 Paint Clearance The minimum dimension between the outer face of the knuckle and the opposing edge of the leaf cutout over the entire range of the
23、 pivotal movement of the hinge. B-5 Pin Retention The manner in which the pin is retained in the hinge including being spun, staked, or welded. B-6 Side Play The amount of movement of the leaves perpendicular to the pin. B-7 Width The overall dimension of the leaves measured perpendicular to the pin
