Scope 1.1 This specification covers the requirements for forged alloy stec! lifting components and welded coupling and master links for Grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy chain slings. 1.2 Two grades of components and welded links ate cov- ered: 1.2.1 Grade 80. 1.2.2 Grade 100, 1.3 This specification is a performance standard, Other standards apply to use of these products. Some of these standards are: OSHA 1910,184, ASME. B30.10, and ASMI 8309, 1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound or ST units are 10 be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units, are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalenis; therefore, each system shall be used inde- pendently ofthe other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification 2. Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards A.29/A 29M Specification for Stee!

Terminology 3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard: 31 breaking force, minimum—the minimum force pounds or newtons at which the component, in the condition it leaves the manufacturer, has been found by verification testing to break when a constantly inereasing forve was applied in direct tension. Breaking force values are a statistical auribute verification test and are not 2 guarantee that all components will endure these loads. Breaking force loads shall not be used as criteria for service 3.12 chain sling—an assembly consisting of alloy steel ‘chain joined to upper and lower end fittings for attaching loads to be lifted by a crane or lifting machine, 3.1.3 coupling link—a link fitted to the end of the chain t0 ‘connect cither directly or through a secondary link to an upper ‘or lower end fitting. See Fig. 1 3.1.4 end faring —a link, hook, oF other component fitted at the end of a branch, See Fig. 1 3.1.5 master link—a link used as an upper end fitting of a cchain sling and by means of which the sling may be attached to a crane or other device. See Fig. 1 3.1.6 master coupling link (secondary or intermediate Jink}—a Vink used on three and four branch slings to connect the branches to a master link. See Fig. 1 3.17 overhead lifting —that process of lifting which would elevate a freely suspended load fo such a position that dropping the loads would present a possibility of bodily injury or property damage, 3.1.8 proof test—a quality control tensile test applied to ‘components for the purpose of verifying manufacturing and material quality. I is the minimum force in pounds or newtons which the component has withstood at the time it left the producer, under a test ia which a constantly increasing force “Annual Book of ASTM Sedaris NO 0803 " Asaable from OSHA * availabe frm ASME, 345,470 Se, Now York, BY 10017) A 95270 952M Class EGH Class CGH Eye Grab Hook Clevis Grab Hook Class ESH Ciass CSH Eye Sling Hook Clevis Sling Hook brieseleaill Class CFH Eye Foundry Hook Clevis Foundry Hook FIG. 1 General Component Configuration has been applied in direct tension, Proof test loads are a 3.1.9 sraceability code—a series of letters, or numbers, or ‘manufacturing integrity test and shall not be used as criteria for both, marked on a component which enables its manufacturing service, history, including identity of the stee! heat, to be traced.i) A 952/ 952m 3.1-10 working load limit (WLL}—the maximum combined 4.2 Sixteen classes of components are covered under this static and dynamic load in pounds or kilograms that shall be specification.
