ANSI states that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the
13、standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means significantly more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Conse
14、nsus requires that all views and objections be considered, and a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether they have approved the standards or not, from: manufactu
15、ring, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards, and will under no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the
16、 right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. Caution Notice: This America
17、n National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standard

36、nuous operating temperature of 392 F (200 C). (These are for general use.) 6.3.2 High impact strength, limited temperature series sockets Series sockets having high impact strength, limited temperature bodies shall withstand a continuous operating temperature of 302 F (150 C). (These are primarily f
37、or use with open-type luminaries, with lamps of 200 W or less.) 7 RECEPTACLES 7.1 Body The receptacle body shall be of wet-process porcelain or equivalent. 7.2 Conditions of operation The conditions described in sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall apply whether or not the series socket is in the receptacle.
38、7.3 Temperature The receptacle shall be capable of withstanding a continuous operating temperature of 392 F (200 C). ANSI C136.4-2003 (R2013) 5 7.4 Tension The receptacle contact spring tension shall be such that a load of 15-25 lbs (6.8-11.34 kg) will be required to pull from the receptacle a socke
39、t having a 5/64 in (1.98 mm) space between faces of the socket prongs. 8 TESTS 8.1 Impact strength rating Series-socket bodies shall be tested for their impact strength rating with the testing machine shown in Figure 3. 8.2 Medium impact strength rating Series-socket bodies having a medium impact st
40、rength rating shall withstand an impact of 3.5 inoz (0.0247 J) a 1 in (25.4 mm) steel ball dropped 1 in (38.1 mm). 8.3 High impact strength rating Series-socket bodies having a high impact strength rating shall withstand an impact of 0.671 J (95 inoz) a 1 in (38.1 mm) steel ball dropped from 12 in (
41、304.8 mm). 8.4 Voltage tests The receptacle shall withstand the dry flashover voltage test established for the 500 V classification in ANSI C136.2.
