The aim of these standards is to enhance safety thus eliminating paragliders which display unacceptable behaviour in given sit
21、uations on the basis of recognized tests set in these two standards. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Mon Nov 20 06:18:03 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 926-1:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to paragliders as defined in 2.1. This part of EN 926 specifies requirement
22、s and test methods for the resistance of a paraglider to static and dynamic loads and sets the minimum strength threshold for its qualification. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 paraglider ultra light glider with no primary rig
23、id structure, for which take-off and landing are on foot, with the pilot (and potentially one passenger) carried in a harness (or harnesses) connected to the wing 2.2 model of paraglider paragliders of different sizes of a given design are considered to be the same model when fulfilling the followin
24、g criteria: a) the different sizes have either been obtained by using a uniform scale factor, or by adding/removing cells in the centre of the canopy; b) any cells inserted in the centre of bigger sizes are technically identical to adjacent cells; c) on scaled paragliders the architecture of the str
25、ucture of the suspension line system is identical. The lengths of the suspension lines are either identical for all sizes, or have been scaled up/down by a factor not greater than the scale factor of the canopy; d) for all sizes identical materials are used; e) the way materials are processed is ide
26、ntical for all sizes. 2.3 identically constructed lines lines which are considered to be identically constructed if the only elements that alter are finished line length and cosmetic colour 3 Requirements 3.1 Shock loading When tested according to 4.4 the wing shall not be damaged. 3.2 Sustained loa
27、ding When tested according to 4.5 the wing shall not be damaged.

If identically constructed lines have already
28、 been tested, then the result may be used. For A- and B-lines in the lowest section (i.e. next to the risers) the sum of Fbreak1 n1 + Fbreak2 n 2 + Fbreak3 n 3 + where Fbreak1, 2, 3,. is the breaking load line type 1, 2, 3, used in the lowest section of the A- and/or B-lines); n 1, 2, 3,. is the num
29、ber of lines of line type 1, 2, 3, used in the lowest section of the A- and B-lines shall exceed the greater of 8 g max weight in flight or 8 000 N (g = 9,81 m/s2). For each of the other line sections above, the same calculation is performed. The result shall exceed the result obtained for the lowes
30、t section. For the C- and D-lines (and any further suspension lines) in the lowest section the sum of Fbreak1 n 1 + Fbreak2 n 2 + Fbreak3 n 3 + where Fbreak1, 2, 3,is the breaking load line type 1, 2, 3,. used in the lowest section of the C- and/or D-lines (and/or any further lines); n 1, 2, 3,.is t
31、he number of lines of line type 1, 2, 3,. used in the lowest section of the C-, D-, or any further lines shall exceed the greater of 6 g max weight in flight or 6 000 N. For each of the other line sections above, the same calculation shall be performed. The result shall exceed the result obtained fo
32、r the lowest section. 4 Test methods 4.1 Apparatus 4.1.1 Weak link The weak link shall be calibrated for instantaneous break at a load defined in Table 1 according to the total weight in flight: Table 1 Selection of weak link break loads Total weight in flight, in kg 120 120 to 180 180 to 240 240 Br
33、eak load of the weak link, in daN 800 1 000 1 200 1 400 Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Mon Nov 20 06:18:03 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 926-1:2006 (E) 7 For each additional 60 kg value above 240 kg total weight in flight, the break load of the weak link shall be increased by 200 daN. 4
34、.1.2 Cable A steel cable of 150 m in length, of minimum specification of 6 mm diameter, 18 7 all steel construction, tensile grade 1 600 N/mm2, may be covered with non-metallic protective coat. 4.1.3 Electronic sensor An electronic sensor equipped with an electronic strain gauge for measuring the fo
35、rce (sampling a minimum of 5 times per second). 4.1.4 Measurement circuit With a graph clearly showing the load (N) against time (s). 4.1.5 Video recording equipment To be mounted on the test vehicle. 4.2 Test specimen Select a test specimen that conforms to the manufacturing record for that model (
36、see Annex A). Either every size of a particular paraglider design shall separately be tested or where different sizes meet the criteria of being the same model, then it is sufficient that the size with the largest maximum total weight in flight is tested. In this case: a) if smaller/bigger versions
37、of the tested glider have been obtained by applying a uniform scale factor to the canopy, the max total weight in flight for all the other sizes shall not exceed: Wmax= W max tested glider 0,8 b) if smaller/bigger versions of the tested glider have been obtained by adding or removing cells in the ce
38、ntre of the canopy, the max total weight in flight for all the other sizes shall not exceed: W max= W max tested glider 0,8 (nAO/nAO tested glider) where nAOis the number of lines in the lowest section of the A-lines. 4.3 Test conditions For the shock loading test in 4.4, the wind speed in the immed
39、iate vicinity of the glider shall not be greater than 2 m/s. 4.4 Shock loading test 4.4.1 Principle The paraglider is subjected to a shock load using either procedure A or procedure B, and the wing is then visually inspected for damage.

40、, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 926-1:2006 (E) 8 4.4.2 Procedure A Carry out the shock loading test using a weak link to limit the loads to a maximum force according to Table 1. Place the paraglider vertically such that it is supported from close to the leading edge with the trailing edge in the cent
41、re touching the ground and the span fully extended. The number of supports shall be at least equal to the number of lines in the lowest section of the A lines. The arrangement of the canopy shall be such as to minimise any slackness (looseness) in the material of the lower surface. The lines and ris
42、ers shall be as straight as possible. Connect the risers to the weak link and the latter to the cable defined in 4.1.2, whose other end is connected to the tow vehicle. Connect the control handles to the same point as the risers at the weak link. Lay out the cable on the ground so that the test shoc
43、k load can be applied almost instantaneously. The wind speed in the immediate vicinity of the glider shall be less than 2 m/s. The tow vehicle shall attain a ground speed of (7050+ ) km/h from the standing start before the cable becomes taut. Continue until either: a) the weak link breaks, or b) the
44、 paraglider fails. 4.4.3 Procedure B Carry out the shock loading test using a weak link to limit the loads to a maximum force according to Table 1. Place the paraglider on the ground in the configuration for instant inflation. Connect the risers to the weak link and the latter to the cable defined i
45、n 4.1.2, whose other end is connected to the tow vehicle. Connect the control handles to the same point as the risers at the weak link. Lay out the cable on the ground so that the test shock load can be applied almost instantaneously. The wind speed in the immediate vicinity of the glider shall be l
46、ess than 2 m/s. The tow vehicle shall attain a ground speed of (6050+ ) km/h from the standing start before the cable becomes taut. Continue until either: a) the weak link breaks, or b) the paraglider fails. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Mon Nov 20 06:18:03 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIE
47、N 926-1:2006 (E) 9 4.5 Sustained loading test 4.5.1 Principle The paraglider is attached to a test vehicle and flown whilst loads are measured. After completion of the loading test the wing is visually inspected for damage. 4.5.2 Procedure Attach the risers of the test specimen, 0,42 m apart, to the
48、 electronic sensors on the tow vehicle. A controller can be positioned on the tow vehicle in order to operate the paraglider control lines to stabilise the wing. Record the test on video from the tow vehicle so as to show the behaviour of the paraglider under load. Increase the speed of the vehicle
49、as gradually as possible, enabling the controller to obtain satisfactory stabilisation of the flight path of the paraglider, keeping the load factor less than three times the maximum permissible load. When the paraglider has stabilised, continue to increase the speed gradually until either: 1) the load exceeds a mean load factor of eight times the maximum total weight in flight recommended by the manufacturer, for a minimum continuous duration of 3 s, or 2) five peaks are obtained above ten times the maximum total wei
