BS916, Black bolts and nuts. Hexagon and square, BSW and
13、 BSF. BS970, Wrought steels. BS1083, Precision hexagon bolts, screws, nuts and plain washers. BS1769, Unified black hexagon bolts, screws and nuts and plain washers. Heavy series. This British Standard, which has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Comm
14、ittee, forms one of a group relating to various types of spanners which are either already published or in course of preparation. Although these spanners are generally known by the name adopted for this specification, i.e.podger spanners, they are also sometimes referred to by the alternative names
15、of “rat-tail spanners”, “erectors spanners” or “constructors spanners”. It was originally intended to include the specifications for railway track spanners, square nut (Post Office type) spanners and podger spanners in one standard, but consideration of their entirely different and distinct function
16、s led to a decision to keep them separate. Not the least of the considerations in the case of podger spanners centred on safety, particularly having regard to the severe stresses (and abuse) to which they are sometimes subject. It was seen to be impossible to provide for a tool which would be safe u
17、nder all conditions and on all occasions but, throughout the work of preparation, the question of safety has been kept well to the forefront, the intention being to produce a document which would ensure that the tools did not fall below a certain standard of quality and therefore safety. Two differe
18、nt designs of spanner are included, one applying when the tool is manufactured from steel to En3A and the other when it is made from En8. The proportions and heat treatment of each have been laid down in relation to the use of the spanner, whether turning a nut or bolt or whether being applied throu
19、gh the podger end to force heavy steel beams into line or as a cantilever on which the operator intends to stand. There is no doubt that this latter use, while very widespread, is injudicious and ill-advised. It constitutes a type of abuse for which such a specification cannot provide, although it w
20、as considered when the loads for the torque test were being investigated and when actual tests were being made. It is quite common in steel construction work for these spanners to be left lying in the foundations or on open ground after erection is completed. It will be readily understood that the s
21、trength and safety of the tool is likely to be seriously affected by the resultant corrosion and that extra precautions should be taken if the spanner is to be used again, particularly on the top of high structures. In conclusion it should be remarked that while several other forms of podger spanner
22、 are popular and in fairly wide use, those given in this specification have been selected because they represent types which can be adopted with some confidence having proved their value during lengthy and extensive service in construction work and in shipyards.BS2583:1955 BSI 11-1999 iii A British

25、This British Standard relates to the materials, proportions, dimensions and tests of spanners having an open jaw at one end and with the shank tapering to form a podger bar at the other end, as designed for use on construction work and in shipyards. 2 Material All spanners complying with the provisi
26、ons of this British Standard shall be manufactured from steel either to specification En3A or to specification En8 from BS970 1) . 3 Heat treatment and hardness a) Spanners from En 3A. All spanners manufactured from steel to specification En3A shall be normalized before being hardened. After normali
27、zing the spanners shall be case-hardened inside the faces of the jaws and on the podger end to a depth of from0.010in. to0.020in. NOTEAs the case-hardening in a) above is intended only to provide resistance against wear, the question of hardness figures does not arise. b) Spanners from En 8. Spanner
28、s manufactured from steel to specification En8 shall be oil quenched and tempered within the range of13 to25 on the Rockwell C scale to give a tensile strength between45 and55tons. If desired the equivalent hardness figures on other recognised hardness scales may be used in place of those given abov
29、e. 2) 4 Proportions The dimensions of podger spanners shall be generally proportional to the width across the jaws W (seeFigure 1 & Figure 2). The proportions of the spanners shall vary according to the material from which they are made, as given below: a) When made from En 3A (seeFigure 1). Head wi
30、dth=2.25W minimum. Head depth=2.25W minimum. Head thickness of spanners for BS and W hexagons=diameter of appropriate Whitworth bolt (seeD. Figure 1). Head thickness of spanners for Unified heavy hexagons=maximum thickness of “as forged” nuts (seeD. Figure 1). Diameter of round portion of shank=diam
31、eter of appropriate bolt. Jaw depth=1.25W minimum. Width of shank adjacent to head=0.8W at point of tangency. Overall length=13W+4in. minimum. 15W+4in. maximum. Length from nose to start of parallel shank=5W. Length of tapered end of podger=2W. Finger clearance on cranked spanners=not less than0.75W
32、. Taper. The included angle of the podger end taper shall be approximately6 . All other proportions not mentioned above shall be as shown on Figure 1. b) When made from En 8 (seeFigure 2 and Figure 3). Head width=2.25W maximum. Head depth=1.6W. Head thickness of spanners for BS and W hexagons=0.5W.
33、Head thickness of spanners for Unified heavy bolts=maximum thickness of “as forged” nuts. Jaw depth=0.95W minimum. Width of shank adjacent to head=0.95W. Maximum thickness of straight portion of shank=0.25W (the section of this part of the spanner is fishbacked as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3). Le
34、ngth of straight shank=6W. Maximum thickness of rounded shank=0.55W. Length of podger end=2.5W. Overall length=13W+4in. minimum. 15W+4in. maximum. Finger clearance on cranked spanners=not less than0.75W. Taper. The included angle of the podger end taper shall be approximately6 . All other proportion
35、s not mentioned above shall be as shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3. 5 Head inclination and cranking a) Spanners from En 3A. i) Inclination. Heads of spanners made from En3A shall be straight in line with the shank and shall not be inclined (seeFigure 1). 1) BS970, “Wrought steels”. 2) BS860, “Table of
36、 approximate comparison of hardness scales”.BS2583:1955 2 BSI 11-1999 ii) Cranking. Spanners made from En3A shall be available either in the flat form (having head and shank in one plane), or the cranked form (having the shank cranked in relation to the head), seeFigure 1. b) Spanners from En 8. i)
37、Cranking. Spanners made from En8 shall be available either as flat or as cranked tools (seeFigure 2 and Figure 3). ii) Inclination. When the spanner is flat seei) above the head shall be inclined at15 to the shank. When the spanner is cranked the head shall be straight in line with the shank (seeFig
38、ure 2). NOTECranked spanners from En8 with the heads inclined at15 will be available by arrangement between purchaser and manufacturer. 6 Finish All sharp corners shall be removed and the spanners shall be free from burrs, cracks and other defects. The outer ends of the jaws and the periphery of the
39、 head shall be radiused as indicated on Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3. The faces of the spanners shall remain parallel after being finished. All spanners shall have a black oiled finish. 7 Range Two ranges of nominal sizes shall be available. The first range shall include the hexagons applicable t
40、o the following bolt diameters (in inches) in BS916 3)and BS1083 4) : 3 / 8 , 7 / 16 , 1 / 2 , 9 / 16 , 5 / 8 , 11 / 16 , 3 / 4 , 7 / 8 , 1, 1 1 / 8 , 1 1 / 4 , 1 3 / 8 . NOTEThis range also applies to the relative Whitworth large hexagons. The second range includes the hexagons applicable to the fo
41、llowing bolt diameters (in inches) in BS1769 5) : 1 / 2 , 5 / 8 , 3 / 4 , 7 / 8 , 1, 1 1 / 8 , 1 1 / 4 , 1 3 / 8 . 8 Marking Podger spanners shall be marked adjacent to the head with either one of the following alternatives according to the type of bolt on which it is to be used. a) Spanners for hex
42、agon sizes in BS916 or BS 1083 and for Whitworth large hexagons. These shall be marked with two fractions, the first representing the nominal bolt diameter corresponding to the hexagon dimensions in BS916 or BS1083, this fraction being followed by the letters BS. The second fraction represents the n
43、ominal bolt diameter corresponding to the appropriate large Whitworth hexagon, this fraction being followed by the letter W. e.g. 3 / 8BS 5 / 16W b) Spanners for hexagon sizes in BS 1769. These shall be marked with a fraction representing the nominal fractional dimension across flats of the hexagon
44、on which the spanner fits, this fraction being followed by the letters AF. e.g. 7 / 8AF 9 Dimensions The dimensions of the podger spanners shall be those given in Table 1 and Table 2. 10 Torque tests Each spanner shall be capable of passing the torque test detailed below using the turning moments gi
