Conveyor standards address more than just the most popular and widely used types of conveyors. Standards exist for the use of conveyors in niche applications such as fertilizer sampling from a belt, continuous manure scraping, or the sampling of waste streams on conveyors. In addition to establishing standards for the design, manufacture, construction, dimensional characteristics, and operation of a wide range of conveyors, this assortment of conveyor standards showcases the range of both the conveyor industry and standardization efforts.
This standard lists and defines over 1,500 terms applying to conveyors, conveyor systems, and allied equipment.
A compilation of definitions for terms used in the conveyor industry
This document establishes a standard for the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and maintenance of passenger ropeways. For this standard, passenger ropeway categories include: aerial tramways (single and double reversible); aerial lifts (detachable lifts, chair lifts, and similar equipment); surface lifts (T-bar lifts, J-bar lifts, platter lifts, and similar equipment); tows (wire rope and fiber rope tows); and conveyors.
ISO/TR 16764:2003 consists of a comparison of electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) worldwide standards of interest to the lift industry.
1.1 This practice describes standard procedures for sampling waste on open and closed conveying systems and is applicable to any waste material that can be conveyed to a waste pile or container. The conveyor system can be a vertical (vertical lifts), sloped, or horizontal type. 1.2 This practice is intended for particles and slurries, which can be sampled using scoop, dipper, or shovel type samplers. 1.3 The practice is not intended for large size sample constituents, such as boulders, large rocks, and debris. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
The method should be used only where other methods, such as automatic sampling of scoop sampling from a free fall, are impossible, or as a reference method.It consists in inserting of two parallel boards or metal sheets vertically down into and at right angles to the streams of the material and to the axis of the stopped belt, and removing of the material between the boards or sheets.
This specification covers powered, tray type, vertical conveyors used for handling packages up to 100 pounds on board Naval ships.
This specification covers powered tray type vertical conveyors used to move palletized loads up to 3000 pounds aboard Naval ships. Only one classification of conveyors is covered by this specification.
This standard, fifth in the series pertaining to unit handling conveyors, proposes certain minimum standards for use in the design and application of slat conveyors.
This publication provides recommended load ratings, dimensional information, and criteria for selection of welded steel conveyor pulleys. With Metric Conversion.
Specifies the dimensional characteristics of mobile and portable conveyors.
Specifies requirements for the characteristics, dimensions, methods of installation and safety of closed- circuit conveyors. Applies to evacuation devices fitted with scrapers, moving continuously in a closed circuit, inteded to remove solid and liquid manure collected in non- grid covered channels in enclosed stalls. It applies to elevators only in so far as these from part of the circuit.
Defines basic terms and specifies safety rules for overhead electrical monorails for materials handling, including the tracks, supporting structure, lifting and lowering devices, the trolleys and the load-supporting devices. Does not apply to systems driven by hand or by gravity, or to systems for conveying people.
Specifies the main dimensions concerning the construction of apron conveyors, namely pitch of chain, width of apron, height of cheek plates. Practical examples are also given.
Establishes design rules for apron conveyors used for the transport of both loose bulks materials and unit loads.
