It supers
9、edes BS 6005 : 1993 which is withdrawn. This standard is intended to assist manufacturers, suppliers and purchasers of moulded polycarbonate bowls to carry out their responsibilities under section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 1, particularly sections 6 (1) (b) and 6 (6) concernin
10、g the need to carry out such testing and examination as may be necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that an article is safe when properly used (see annex A). Although the requirements of this specification reflect the best scientific knowledge available at the time of preparatio
11、n, compliance with it will not necessarily guarantee that failure under pressure will never occur; the likelihood of a failure should, however, be much reduced. Nothing in this standard, nor the use of it, will relieve any person of any statutory obligation or liability in respect of health and safe
12、ty. Annex A of this standard gives guidance for the proper use etc. of units fitted with moulded polycarbonate bowls. This edition differs from BS 6005 : 1993 principally in that the quality control procedures contained within have been amended to obviate the need for the destruction of excessive te
13、st samples. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

16、 other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies: any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this Britis
17、h Standard only when incorporated in the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 2.2 Informative references This British Standard refers to other publications that provide information or guidance.
18、Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Manufacture 3.1 Moulding material The powder used for moulding the products shall be dried in accordance with the manufacturers rec
19、ommendations and at the time of moulding shall not contain more than 0.02 % (m/m) water. NOTE. The TVI (Tomasettis Volatile Indicator) method for the determination of water content is sufficiently accurate for the purpose of this standard. 3.2 Dimensions The dimensions of the moulded product shall c
20、onform to those specified in the relevant drawing or specification. 3.3 Tooling If a multi-cavity tooling is used, arrangements shall be made to identify the cavity from which a particular moulding was produced. 3.4 Annealing The finished mouldings shall not be subjected to any annealing process. 4
21、Visual inspection 4.1 Flaws All mouldings shall be inspected by the unaided eye, and shall not be seen to have cracks, weld lines, splash marks, streaks of foreign matter or voids. 4.2 Stress concentrations For new tooling, 10 % of the initial production batch shall be viewed under polarized light t
22、o establish that no adverse stress patterns are present. The colour bands showing internal stress should be uniform and any grouping of stress bands shall not tend to form a straight line, nor shall there be any splash of colour. Mouldings shall then be tested in accordance with 5.2. For established
23、 tooling, only the solvent immersion test (see 5.2) is required as the stress concentration test is covered by this. 4.3 Contamination All mouldings shall be visually inspected for contamination by foreign matter, such as metallic or carbon particles or degraded material. The contamination shall be
24、within the limits specified in table 1. Table 1. Contamination limits Particle sizeNo. of particles in any 100 cm2 of component exterior Min. separation between particles mmmm 1.0NoneNot applicable # 1.0 and 0.5a = 16 max.1)25 # 0.5b = 80 max.1)No requirement 1) Subject to (a + b) = 80 max. 4.4 Surf
25、ace haze By visual inspection, there shall be no surface haze on any moulding which would noticeably reduce the transparency of the product, except in the region of the mould gate or sprue where it shall not be so dense as to make the product opaque. 4.5 Mechanical damage 4.5.1 Except for minor abra
26、sions caused by the rubbing of the turning mandrel for sprue removal, there shall be no visible scratching or similar damage to the surfaces of any product. 4.5.2 Surfaces from which the sprue has been removed by machining shall not show signs of heat degradation or lamination.

28、d to the tests specified in 5.2 and 5.3. 5.2 Solvent immersion The mouldings shall not be stress relieved prior to carrying out the solvent immersion. The selected mouldings shall be fully immersed in a bath containing a mixture of 1 part by volume general purpose reagent grade toluene with 3 parts
29、by volume general purpose reagent grade propan-1-o12)for a period of at least 3 min. During this test the mouldings and the solution shall be maintained at a temperature of 22 C3 C. Immediately after removal from the bath, the mouldings shall be visually inspected; there shall be no indication of cr
30、acking or crazing of the surfaces over that length of the bowl which would be unsupported in the finished assembly. CAUTION. Attention is drawn to the need to exercise suitable precautions to prevent the build-up of flammable vapours. Occupational exposure limits for toluene and propanol are given i
31、n the Health and Safety Executive document EH 40/96 2. 5.3 Pressure test 5.3.1 Method Test mouldings which have been subjected to the test described in 5.2 shall be hydraulically pressure tested using clean water. Pressurization shall be carried out using a suitable test rig which simulates the norm
32、al method of mounting the bowl, with due precautions being taken to evacuate all entrapped air. Pressure shall be applied and slowly increased up to 63 bar and left for a dwell period of not less than 60 s. The pressure shall then either be: a) raised in increments of 16 bar, with a dwell of not les
33、s than 30 s between each increment until the moulding fails; or b) slowly increased at a constant rate not exceeding 1 bar/s until failure. 5.3.2 Proof pressure The proof pressure at which failure of the moulding occurs shall be not less than that specified by the design authority of the product for
34、 which the bowl is designed. NOTE. The proof pressure to be specified by the design authority would normally be determined by experiment. 5.3.3 Type of failure The moulding shall have failed by ballooning and splitting, but it shall not have failed by separation of the flange from the bowl or by any
35、 form of shattering or fragmentation. 5.4 Rejection Failure of any sample to satisfy the requirements of 5.2 and 5.3 will necessitate a 10 % random sampling and inspection of all production for that period. Any failure from the random sample shall entail rejection of the entire production of the pre
36、vious 4 h. 6 Warning notice Whenever possible, a warning notice shall be affixed to each moulding that will remain visible after installation. If the notice is attached by means of an adhesive, the adhesive shall be compatible with polycarbonate. The warning notice shall include at least the followi
37、ng: a) the maximum operating temperature, which for polycarbonate is 50 C; b) a warning symbol conforming to BS 5378 : Part 1; c) the word polycarbonate; d) a warning note concerning harmful chemicals. The warning note shall also show either: 1) the maximum operating pressure (Z bar), which shall no
38、t exceed 10 bar, corresponding to the permitted maximum operating temperature of 50 C; or 2) the maximum operating pressure (X bar) corresponding to the maximum operating temperature (Y C) if set below 50 C. X may exceed 10 bar. The notice shall be black, on a yellow background, conforming to BS 537

41、fter called units) which are fitted with transparent moulded polycarbonate bowls conforming to this British Standard. Although this annex provides guidance for users of these units, the following should be regarded as minimum safety requirements. A.2 Operating conditions A.2.1 Maximum ambient temper
42、ature The units should not be installed in locations where the ambient temperature will exceed 50 C. A.2.2 Maximum operating temperature The units should not be installed in systems where the compressed air temperature will exceed 50 C regardless of operating pressure. A.2.3 Operating pressure and t
43、emperature The units should not be subjected to pressures or temperatures in excess of those stated in the warning notice (see 6a and d). A.2.4 Working environment The units should not be exposed to solvents or materials containing solvents, e.g. in any area where an operative is required to wear a
44、respirator or protective clothing. The units should not be exposed to contamination by paint, e.g. when installed in, or close to, paint spray booths. A.2.5 Compressor lubricants Unless approved by the unit manufacturer, units should not be used in systems supplied by compressors using diester or si
45、milar synthetic lubricants. A.2.6 System lubricants Only those system lubricants which are approved by the manufacturer of the unit and the pneumatic fluid power equipment or tool should be used. A.3 Installation A.3.1 The units should be located in the pipeline downstream of after-coolers, if provi
46、ded. A.3.2 If the pneumatic fluid power installation is to be painted, special care should be exercised to ensure that the moulded polycarbonate bowls are fully masked or similarly protected. A.4 Maintenance of units A.4.1 Inspection A.4.1.1 The moulded polycarbonate bowls should be carefully inspec
47、ted during each regular preventative maintenance schedule for the units. A.4.1.2 Bowls which on visual inspection show signs of mechanical damage, cracking, crazing or hazing should be replaced. A.4.1.3 Bowls which have been contaminated with paint should also be replaced; they should not be cleaned
48、. A.4.1.4 All bowls which have been in service for 10 years should be replaced, even though they may appear acceptable by the visual inspection mentioned in A.4.1.2. A.4.2 Cleaning A.4.2.1 The moulded polycarbonate bowls and any internal plastics components should be cleaned with soap and water only
49、; abrasives should not be used. A.4.2.2 Internal metallic components, e.g. sintered filter elements, should also be cleaned with soap and water, but paraffin may be used as an alternative; cleaning solvents should not be used. A.4.3 Further maintenance Additional maintenance should be carried out in accordance with instructions provided by the unit manufacturer.
