ASME B30.1:2020 pdf download.Jacks, Industrial Rollers, Air Casters, and Hydraulic Gantries
Volume B30.1 includes provisions that apply to the construction, operation, inspection, testing, and mainte- nance of mechanical ratchet jacks, hand- or power-oper- ated mechanical screw jacks, hand- or power-operated hydraulic jacks, air-lifting bags, industrial rollers, air casters, telescopic hydraulic gantry systems, and strand jacks. Notincluded in this Volume are jacks designed forauto- motive service, trip-lowered jacks, jacks designed for static supportrather than load handling, and jacks, indus- trial rollers, air-lifting bags or air casters that are an inte- gral part of other equipment.
(a) Translation of non-English documentation into English (1) The wording ofwritten non-English safety infor- mation and manuals regarding use, inspection, and main- tenance shall be translated into English by professional translation industry standards, which include, but are not limited to the following: (-a) translation of the complete paragraph message, instead of word by word (-b) grammatical accuracy (-c) respectfulness of the source document content without omitting or expanding the text (-d) accurate translation of the terminology (-e) reflection of the level of sophistication of the original document (2) The finished translation shall be verified for compliance with (1)(-a) through (1)(-e) by a qualified person having an understanding of the technical content of the subject matter. (3) Pictograms used to identify controls shall be described in the manuals. The pictograms should comply with ISO 7000, ISO 7296, or other recognized source, if previously defined. The text of the description shall meet the criteria of (1) and (2). (b) Any non-English documentation provided in addi- tion to English shall be translated and reviewed in accor- dance with the requirements listed above.
air bladder (air caster): a monofilm or fabric-reinforced material enclosure that directs air flow beneath the air caster’s module structure. aircaster: a device thatcan provide liftand travel ofa load using air flow as the supportmedium, often referred to as air skates or air bearings. air caster system: a system consisting ofan air supply, air hoses, pressure control console, and air casters. air-lifting bag: a reinforced, flat, rubberized single- chamber inflatable bag designed to contain air at pres- sures above 100 psi. air-lifting bag system: a system consistingofan air supply, air hoses, pressure control unit, and air-lifting bag. authorized service center: an independent service facility designated by the manufacturer to repair and test equip- ment of their manufacture. auxiliary load point: any point of load application other than the primary load point. birdcaging: the permanent deformation of a section of strand in which the wires spread apart. double-acting hydraulic jack: a jack that is extended and retracted under hydraulic pressure. drift: horizontal displacementofthe top ofa telescopic lift boom that results from clearances between boom sections. gap crossingaircaster: afabricatedmodule thatcontains a load support plate, a landing pad, and a perforated air bladder that provides the ability to travel across gaps and steps in the operating surface. high-liftaircaster:afabricatedmodulethatcontainsaload support plate, a landing pad, and an air bladder that provides approximately twice the effective lift height of a low-lift air caster and inflates without requiring contact with the operating surface for inflation. hydraulicjack: a jackusing pressurized liquid to move the load. industrialroller: a structural frame containing interlinked rollersorwheelsdesignedtosupportandtransportaload, often referred to as skates or dollies. integral auxiliary load point: any nonremovable point of load application other than the primary load point. jack: a portable hand or a power-operated mechanism with a base and a load point designed for controlled linear movement. landing pads: structural spacer(s) mounted below an air caster module structure, which provides support while the air bladder is deflated. lateral: the horizontal direction perpendicular to the length of the gantry system track. load: the total superimposed weight or force to be over- come by the equipment. loadhandlingequipment(LHE):equipmentusedto movea load vertically or horizontally. load point: the primary point of load application estab- lished by the jack manufacturer. longitudinal:the horizontal directionparallel to the length of the gantry system track. low-liftaircaster: a fabricated module thatcontains a load support plate, a landing pad, and an air bladder that provides approximately half the effective lift height of a high-lift air caster and requires contact with the oper- ating surface for inflation. mechanicaljack:ajackusinganymeans otherthanfluid to move the load.
