BS 302 : Part 2 : 1987 Foreword This Part of BS 302 has been preparec. under t..r direction of the Mechanical Handling Standards Committee. It is one Part of a combined revision of BS 302 : 1968, BS 236 : 1968, BS 329 : 1968, BS 330 : 1968, BS 365 : 1968 and BS 3530 : 1968,w hich are withdrawn. BS 302 is now published in six Parts and takes account of both national and international developments since 1968. This Part (Part 2) specifies requirements for general purpose steel wire ropes additional to the general requirements in Part I. Subsequent Parts specify the additional requirements for other particular uses of ropes: Part 3 Specification for zinc coated ropes for ships Part 4 Specification for ropes for lifts Part 5 Specification for ropes for hauling purposes Part 6 Specification for ropes for mine hoisting Two further Parts are in preparation, covering larger diameter ropes (64m m to 205 mm diameter) and higher strength ropes and will be Parts 7 and 8 respectively. In line with the principles of international standard IS0 2408, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the constructions are grouped according to the number of outer wires in the strands. The general requirements of BS 302 : Part 1 and the methods used for calculating breaking loads and approxi- mate masses are in accordance with IS0 2408. In respect of individual usages the ropes in Parts 2 and 3 are fully in accordance with IS0 2408 and those in section two of Part 4 are in accordance with IS0 4344. In each of these Parts however, certain additional ropes still in common use in the UK have been included. In line with current international practice, the term 'zinc coated' has been adopted in this standard in place of 'galvanized'. The terms are synonymous. Purchasers ordering to BS 302 are advised to specify in their purchasing contract that the manufacturer operate a quality system in compliance with the appropriate Part of BS 5750, or suitable equivalent, to ensure themselves that products claimed to comply with BS 302 consistently achieve the required level of quality. Wire rope users will find valuable information in the companion publication BS 6570 'Code of practice for the selection, care and maintenance of steel wire ropes'. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. -- || | | || ||| || | |||| || | |||| ||| | | |--- COPYRIGHT 2002; British Standards Institution on ERC Specs and Standards Document provided by IHS Licensee=Qatar Petroleum/5943408103, User=, 10/11/2002 23:59:29 MDT Questions or comments about this message: please call the Document Policy Management Group at 1-800-451-1584.
