10、word This British Standard is a revision of the1961version of BS3318and has been prepared under the direction of the Road Engineering Standards Committee. It is identical with ISO5005 “Earth-moving machinery Method for locating the centre of gravity”. ISO5005 was produced as a result of internationa
11、l discussions in which the United Kingdom took an active part. This revision of BS3318differs from the1961version in that it applies specifically to earth-moving machinery and it now supersedes that edition. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as sui
12、table for publication, without deviation, as a British Standard. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they shoul
13、d be interpreted as “British Standard”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. S

15、 12-1999 1 0 Introduction Although there are many possible methods of determining the centre of gravity, the intent of this International Standard is to specify one simple and practical method which requires the use of a weighbridge and crane. There is no single fixed position of the centre of gravi
16、ty of a machine which has attachments or components that are movable. When such a machine is tilted, as it must be to find the vertical co-ordinates, flexible parts deflect, fluids and loose parts move, and the position of the centre of gravity therefore changes. Again, particularly in the case of e
17、arth-moving machinery, the position of the centre of gravity will depend upon the nature and position of any attachments or ancillary equipment with which the item is fitted. It is therefore essential in all cases to state exactly the conditions of test. 1 Scope and field of application This Interna
18、tional Standard specifies a method for determining the co-ordinates of the centre of gravity of earth-moving machinery such as tractors, loaders, dumpers and graders in any condition of loading or position of attachments. 2 Definitions For the purpose of this International Standard the following def
19、initions apply: 2.1 machine the machine or other object whose centre of gravity is to be determined 2.2 apparatus the equipment required to determine the centre of gravity of a machine 2.3 attachment a piece of equipment which is available for mounting on the machine for a particular purpose (for ex
20、ample a bulldozer blade, winch or bucket) 2.4 “left-hand” and “right-hand” sides these terms apply when facing in the primary direction of travel 2.5 mass the mass of the machine as submitted for test 3 Preparation and loading of machine The machine shall be clean and shall be tested in normal worki
21、ng conditions or in a specified condition agreed between the manufacturer and the testing authority. 3.1 Radiator, sump, hydraulic and other reservoirs, shall be filled to specified working levels; the fuel tank shall be full or empty or in a specified condition as agreed between the manufacturer an
22、d testing authority. 3.2 Tools, spare tyre, and loose accessories and equipment shall be complete as supplied and shall be in the normal stowage positions. 3.3 Tyre pressures shall be as specified in the manufacturers operating instructions or, if a range of pressures is allowed, at the highest pres
23、sure recommended. In the case of machines fitted with hydro-inflation tyres they shall be filled in accordance with the manufacturers operating instructions. 3.4 The attachment shall be normally put in the operating position; for example: a) for crawler or wheeled tractors, with the dozer equipment
24、lowered, tilt adjustment horizontal, to the lowest possible position just clear of the horizontal reference plane (see5.3); b) for loaders with the bucket fully crowded back and the front linkage in such a position that the lower part of it or the bucket is just clear of the horizontal reference pla
25、ne;BS3318:1978 2 BSI 12-1999 c) for graders with the cutting edge of the blade horizontal and perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the machine and20cm above the horizontal reference plane. The front wheels shall be vertical. The centre of gravity may be determined in a similar manner with the att
26、achment(s) in many different positions and the co-ordinates for these different positions recorded as indicated in the report table at6.4. 3.5 Articulated machines will normally be tested locked in a straight line, but the test may be required to be conducted with the joint set at the maximum or any
27、 intermediate angle. 3.6 When a scribing board is required it shall be at least 600mm (24in) high by450mm (18in) wide, rigidly constructed, and attached to the machine in a suitable position with a smooth face vertical and parallel to the side or other appropriate plane (seeclause6). 4 Method of det
28、ermination 4.1 Principle The suspension and ground reaction method is used. This method involves measuring the ground reactions with the machine under test first level and second tilted in the fore-and-aft direction. The calculated horizontal distance of the centre of gravity from a ground contact p
29、oint is measured in each case and verticals drawn on a scribing board affixed to the machine. The intersection of the verticals (which in practice forms a small triangle) indicates the centre of gravity, the exact position being taken at the intersection of the medians. 4.2 Apparatus The following a
30、pparatus is suggested: 4.2.1 Weighbridge, calibrated, for example 20kg (44lb). 4.2.2 Crane 4.2.3 Decking 4.2.4 Knife edges (conveniently sized rolled steel angle). 4.2.5 Level conveniently combined in a field level. 4.2.6 Plumb rule conveniently combined in a field level. 4.2.7 Squares conveniently
31、combined in a field level. 4.2.8 Scribing board 4.2.9 Marking materials 4.2.10 Tape measure 4.3 Procedure The horizontal fore-and-aft co-ordinate, the lateral co-ordinate in the horizontal plane and the vertical co-ordinate of the centre of gravity shall be determined as stated in4.3.1 to4.3.3. 4.3.
32、1 Horizontal fore-and-aft co-ordinate, 4.3.1.1 TRACKED MACHINE (see Figure 1) Measure M, the mass of the whole machine, on the weigh-bridge. Measure r, the reaction under the knife edge due to its mass and part of the decking. Move the machine on to the decking part supported by the weighbridge and
33、measure R + r. Measure P, the distance between the knife edges. Calculate R by subtraction; then: Using this calculated value of , draw a perpendicular through the centre of gravity on the scribing board affixed to the machine. Then referto the appropriate reference plane in accordance with clause5.
34、 4.3.1.2 WHEELED MACHINES With wheeled machines it is not necessary to use decking or knife edges. With brakes off, measure axle loads and calculate , from the pitch of the axles. Then referto the appropriate reference plane in accordance with clause5. x x R P M - = x x x xBS3318:1978 BSI 12-1999 3
35、4.3.2 Lateral co-ordinate in the horizontal plane,(see Figure 2) Measure left-hand R 1and right-hand R 2wheels or track loadings. Calculate offset of centre of gravity using track gauge or wheel track as the moment arm. NOTEIt will usually be found that the right-hand and left-hand side loads do not
36、 total the mass of the machine exactly due to small differences in level between the weighbridge deck and the surround. Any error is minimized by equalizing the overlap of the side being weighed in both cases. It is preferable to use the total right-hand side and left-hand side wheel (track) loading
37、s to determine the mass of the machine M. Then referto the appropriate reference plane in accordance with clause5. 4.3.3 Vertical co-ordinate of the centre of gravity, (see Figure 3) 4.3.3.1 Suspend the machine under test from one end at an angle of15 to25 from the horizontal, the other end resting
38、on the weighbridge. The maximum convenient angle should be employed. The method is applicable either to wheeled or tracked machines, the main difference being in establishing the exact location of the point of application of the ground reaction, i.e. the ground contact. In wheeled machines, which sh
39、all be unbraked, this is vertically below the axle. In tracked machines, it is necessary to manoeuvre until the contact-grousers are in line BB on either side or to make contact through a length of angle iron set on line BB. In all cases the suspension cable shall be vertical in both planes as teste
40、d by plumb rule. This is an essential condition to ensure that the ground reactions in the horizontal plane are zero. 4.3.3.2 Measure R, the reaction at the ground contact on the weighbridge. 4.3.3.3 Measure d, the horizontal distance from the ground contact to the line of suspension. 4.3.3.4 Calcul
41、ate c, the horizontal distance from the centre of gravity to the line of suspension, from the formula 4.3.3.5 Draw the vertical through the centre of gravity on the scribing board fixed to the machine. Repeat with machine suspended from the other end. The suspension angle need not be the same for bo
42、th ends. The intersection of the verticals on the scribing board gives the position of the height of the centre of gravity. Refer this to the appropriate reference plane in accordance with clause5. NOTEThe machine may be conveniently run on the weighbridge, square, using chalked lines. This will ass
43、ist in drawing the plan. If, with tracked machines, the grousers are not in line at B and B (seeFigure 3) it is necessary to resort to trial and error by running the machine in varying circles till the required result is attained at the last approach. 5 Reference planes The reference planes may conv
44、eniently be taken as follows: 5.1 Vertical 1: Through the driving sprocket axle if for a crawler tractor but through the front axle, or front idler centres, if a crawler or wheeled shovel as this is an important datum used in design. 5.2 Vertical 2: Through the major fore-and-aft axis of a machine,
45、i.e. midway between the wheels or tracks. 5.3 Horizontal: Ground level. A hard contact shall be assumed, i.e. no grouser penetration in the case of a tracked machine. 6 Reporting of results 6.1 The report shall give the co-ordinates of the centre of gravity: , horizontal fore-and-aft co-ordinate, be
46、ing the distance from vertical1; , lateral co-ordinate or displacement from the vertical2; positive to the right, negative to the left; , vertical co-ordinate or height above the horizontal ground level. y y h c R d M - = h x y hBS3318:1978 4 BSI 12-1999 6.2 The position of the centre of gravity sha
