ASME ASP:2010 pdf free download.Safety Standard for Automotive Service and Maintenance Products.
ASME ASP is one of many safety standards on various subjects that have been formulated under the general auspices of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). One purpose of the Standard is to serve as a guide to governmental authorities having jurisdiction over subjects within the scope of the Standard. It is expected, however, that the Standard will find a major application in industry serving as a guide to manufacturers, suppliers, purchasers, and operators of the equipment. If adopted for governmental use, the references to other national standards in this Standard may be changed to refer to the corresponding regulations of the governmental authorities,
The use of automotive service and maintenance products is subject to certain hazards that cannot be precluded by mechanical means, hut only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use when servicing motor vehicles and their components. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping, flying, or slipping of components caused primarily by improperly securing or containing loads, overloading, and off-centered loads; using the equipment on other than hard, level surfaces; and using the equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
The PALD Subcommittee fully realizes the importance of proper size, strength, and stability as safety factors in the design of this equipment. This equipment is used on various vehicles and their components, under variable working conditions. These conditions have been considered to provide safety and flexibility. The requirements given in this Standard must be interpreted accordingly, and judgment should be used in determining their application.
2 MANDATORY AND ADVISORY RULES
Mandatory rules of this Standard are characterized by use of the word shall. If a provision is of an advisory nature, it is indicated by use of the word should and is a recommendation to be considered, the advisability of which depends on the facts in each situation.
3 SI (METRIC) CONVERSIONS
This Standard contains SI (metric) units as well as U.S. Customary units. The values stated in U.S.
Customary units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI units in the text have been directly (soft) converted from the US. Customary units.
4-4.1.2 Load-LimIting Test. Oil filter crushers having an overload protection circuit shall be tested until the load-limiting device is activated, at which time the force applied to the crusher shall be no less than 100% of its rated capacity and no more than 125% of its rated capacity.
4-4.1.3 TippIng Test. The following tests shall be conducted in the direction of greatest instability:
(a) Place the feet of the crusher against a 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) high barrier that will not allow the crusher to slide. Apply a force of 20 lb (9.07 kg) to the vertical center of the enclosure on the side opposite the 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) barrier. The crusher shall not tip over.
(b) Place the feet of the crusher against a 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) high barrier that will not allow the crusher to slide. Tip the crusher to a 3-deg angle against the barrier and release the crusher. When released, the crusher shall right itself without tipping over.
4-4.1.4 Proof Load Test. A solid steel test cylinder
3 in. (76.2 mm) in diameter shall be placed inside the enclosure and centered on the cylinder and the reaction plate. The oil filter crusher shall be operated to the proof load defined in para. 4-2.7, The load shall be applied for at least 10 mm. Permanent deformation of the internal structure shall not exceed 0.125 in. (3.18 mm), nor shall operational characteristics be detrimentally affected. A preload of not more than 100% of rated capacity may be applied to establish overall dimensional data points. For purposes of this test, any internal load-limiting device should be deactivated.
