Securely fit the bracket tothe top of the test bed. Place the strop around the end of the test piece a

Place the strop around the end of the test piece andarrange so that it sits equally each side of the test piece. Acti

If any of these samples fail then a further 5 samples should betested until a point where all 5 samples pass the test.Further tests shall be carried out every 6 months.In-house production qualit
28、y shall be covered by the manufacturers providing aproduction control procedure for each panel type. This procedure shall bedocumented in a manual which is available for external viewing.The in-house controls will consist generally of tests and inspections during andafter production.A.5 ResultsIf th
29、e welds are still intact the sample piece is deemed to have passed.Annex B(normative)Climb deterrent mesh testB.1 PrincipleThe following test procedure shows how to test fence panel mesh or otherfence panel infill materials to assess its suitability for use as a climb deterrentpanel.The test general
30、ly consists of placing a conical test mandrel of a set weight intothe aperture of the test sample to see if the sample deforms under the weight.If the sample deforms to a certain amount the sample is deemed to have failed.The sample test area to be tested should be in board of the fence panel frames
31、o that the frame is not affecting the results on the mesh or other infillmaterial. See Figure B.1.B.2 Preparing the test sampleLay the test sample (in the case of the fence panel) horizontally and supportedat each corner at a height of approximately 1.2 m above the floor so that theunderside of the
32、sample piece can be accessed to add the test weight to themandrel. See Figure B.2.BRITISH STANDARD BS 1722-18:2011 BSI 2011 7FigureB.1SampletestareaKey 1TestareaBRITISH STANDARDBS 1722-18:20118 BSI 2011FigureB.2AttachingthetestmandreltothesamplepieceKey 1TestmandrelBRITISH STANDARD BS 1722-18:2011 B
33、SI 2011 9The Test Mandrel should be generally as shown in Figure B.3.Figure B.3 Test mandrelDimensions in millimetresKey1 Test fail band 2 Loose weight (mild steel)The test mandrel consists of a nylon cone, with shape and dimensions as shownin Figure B.3. The test fail band is cylindrical and parall
34、el. At the top of themandrel is a larger diameter which prevents the mandrel from completelydropping through the test sample should the test fail. At the bottom of themandrel is provision for a loose weight to be added so the mandrel can beplaced into the test sample from the top side and then have
35、the weight addedfrom the underside.The weight of the Test Mandrel complete with the loose weight should be (6.00.1) kg.Looking down in plan view at the test sample the mandrel without the looseweight should be placed in the centre of the aperture. See Figure B.4.Figure B.4 Mandrel position central o
36、f apertureBRITISH STANDARDBS 1722-18:201110 BSI 2011From the underside of the sample the loose weight can be added to themandrel. The weight should be added slowly whilst keeping the mandrelvertical. The mandrel should be left to sit for approximately 20 seconds after ithas found its resting place i
37、n the aperture.If the aperture of the sample deforms enough for the mandrel to pass throughthe sample and into the Test Fail Band area of the mandrel then the test hasfailed. If the mandrel does not pass into the Test Fail Band then the test haspassed. See Figure B.5.Figure B.5 Test pass and failure

42、lassed as a failure.Annex C(normative)Fence panel mesh test procedure for panel withmesh welded to the tube outer faceC.1 PrincipleTo establish the strength of the welds holding the mesh onto the fence panelframe.The fence panel is laid down flat inside a support rig that only holds the frametubes.
43、The mesh on the fence panel is on the under side of the frame tubes sothat when sufficient weight is applied to the mesh the mesh is allowed to brakeaway from the panel frame. The load support frame is designed to spread theload as evenly as possible across all the wires on the mesh.C.2 ApparatusTyp
44、ical apparatus to test a fence panel is shown in Figure C.1.Figure C.1 Typical apparatusKey1 Support hooks 3 Trestle2 Cross beam 4 Support table under fence panelBRITISH STANDARDBS 1722-18:201112 BSI 2011It comprises 2 trestles, 2 cross beams, 4 clamps, a set of hooks and a supporttable. The purpose
45、 of the trestles and cross bars is to create a frame underwhich the fence panel can be hung from a set of hooks. The hooks arepositioned to carry the tubes on the mesh panel frame and not to carry themesh, so that when the test weight is added the mesh is free to come awayfrom the fence panel frame.
46、 See Figure C.2.The purpose of the support table is to restrict the distance the test weight dropswhen the fence panel fails.Figure C.2 Section view showing support hookSection view showingsupport hookKey1 Fence panel 2 Support tableIn addition to the framework in Figure C.1 and Figure C.2 is the lo
47、addistribution frame. (See Figure C.3.)Figure C.3 Load distribution frameKey1 Load distribution frameBRITISH STANDARD BS 1722-18:2011 BSI 2011 13The purpose of the load distribution frame is to spread the test weight evenlyacross all parts of the mesh on the fence panel.Once the fence panel is in po
48、sition the load distribution frame can be loweredonto the mesh. This can be done by using an overhead crane to lift the loaddistribution frame and position it equally inside the inner faces of the paneltubes. Once in position the frame can be lowered onto the mesh and the cranecan be lowered suffici
49、ent so the weight of the support frame is off the cranehook but the crane hook is still in a position to catch the distribution frame as itfalls through the panel when the mesh comes off the tubes. (See Figure C.4.)Figure C.4 Lowering the load distribution frame onto the fence panelC.3 ProcedurePrior to the fence panel being tested carry out a visual inspection of the panelto check that all the wires that are intended to be welded to the panel frameare in place.Load the distribution frame with
