ASME B30.9-2010 pdf free download.Slings.
fabric (metal mesh): the flexible portion of the sling exclusive of end fittings consisting of a series of transverse spirals and cross rods.
fabric length (metal iizesli): the distance of metal mesh between the end fittings.
fabric thickness (metal mesh): the nominal overall thickness of the spirals.
fabrication efficiency: the sling assembly strength, as a percentage of the material strength prior to fabrication. fitting: hardware on the end of a sling.
grommet sling: a variety of an endless sling.
hit cli, basket: a method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load and both ioop eyes or end fittings are attached to the lifting device.
hitch, choker: a method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load, then through one loop eye, end fitting, or other device, with the other ioop eye or end fitting attached to the lifting device. This hitch can be done with a sliding choker hook or similar device.
hitch (hitched): a method of rigging (attaching) a sling temporarily to a load or object for the purpose of lifting.
hit cli, vertical: a method of rigging a sling in which the load is attached to the loop eye or end fitting at one end of the sling and the loop eye or end fitting at the other end is attached to the lifting device. Any hitch less than 5 deg from the vertical may be considered a vertical hitch.
horizontal angle: the acute angle between the horizontal plane and the leg of the rigging, also known as the angle of loading.
length, sling: the distance between the extreme bearing points of the sling.
multiple-leg wire rope slings: same as sling length above, except the gathering ring, master link, or similar fitting is not included in the length dimension.
single-leg slings with end fittings: measured from pull to pull of end fittings or eyes.
sii igle—leg slings without end fittings: measured from Pull to pull or from bearing to bearing of eyes.
link, master: forged or welded steel link used to support all members (legs) of an alloy steel chain or wire rope sling.
link, master coupling: alloy steel welded coupling link used as an intermediate link to join alloy steel chain to master links.
link, mechanical coupling (alloi steel chain): a nonwelded, mechanically closed link used primarily to attach fittings to alloy steel chain.
loop eye (web sling): a length of webbing that has been folded back upon itself, forming an opening, and joined to the sling body to form a bearing surface.
splice, flemish eye (wire rope): mechanical splice formed by opening the rope up in a specific manner and reforming it to create a loop or eye. A metal sleeve is slipped over the ends of the splice and mechanically compressed to secure the ends. This method requires special fittings, techniques, and equipment to produce an end termination to meet the requirements of this Volume.
splice, hand tucked (wire rope and synthetic rope): a ioop or eye formed in the end of a rope by tucking the ends of the strands back into the main body of the rope in a prescribed manner.
splice load bearing (web sling): that part of a sling that is lapped and secured to become an integral load bearing part of the sling.
splice, niechanical (wire rope): swaging one or more metal sleeves over the wire rope to form a loop or eye.
splice, turnback (return loop): mechanical splice in which the rope is looped back on itself and secured with one or more metal sleeves. This method requires special fittings, techniques, and equipment to produce an end termination to meet the requirements of this Volume.
strand laid rope: a wire rope made with strands (usually six to eight) formed around a fiber core, wire strand core, or independent wire rope core (IWRC).
