The revision is being undertaken in two Parts; Part1covering softwood poles a

10、nd Part 2 1)which will cover hardwoods. The first standard for wood poles for overhead lines was published in1953. A metric version of the1953edition was prepared and published in1971superseding the imperial version in1974. The difference between this edition and the1971edition is that this standard

11、 extends the range of timber species for which data are available, specifies water-borne preservative treatments in addition to pressure creosoting and gives a typical layout of markings. This standard is based primarily upon the predominant species in use, namely redwood or Scots pine (Pinus sylves

12、tris) from Northern Europe including the UnitedKingdom. The growth characteristics of timbers and their freedom from decay and other defects are of importance in the determination of the mechanical strength of poles for assessing the safe loads in service. The calculated average breaking loads of re

13、dwood or Scots pine poles both unstayed and stayed are included in Appendix A. Appendix B describes a method of determining the moisture content of poles and Appendix C describes a method for determining the extent of preservative penetration. Appendix D describes a method for establishing the stren

14、gth characteristics for the species listed in this standard. The attention of pole users is drawn to the difficulty of defining and working to precise requirements on all aspects of a natural product such as timber. Some properties have of necessity been specified in general terms only. It is theref

15、ore recommended that the acceptance of poles, and the supervision of seasoning tests and of preservation processes should be assigned only to qualified and experienced inspectors. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards ar

16、e responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 14, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard

17、 has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. 1) In course of preparation.BS1990-1:1984 BSI 07-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for solid softwood poles for power an

18、d telecommunication lines (seeclause3). NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the definitions given in BS565, BS 4261and BS6100-4.1 apply. 3 Timbers Poles shall be made from the fol

19、lowing species. NOTEThe preferred dressed sizes of poles should be as given inTable 1. Poles of redwood should support the loads given inTable 2 and Table 3 derived from the calculations in accordance withAppendix A. Poles of the species listed under item b) should support the loads given inTable 2

20、and Table 3 modified by the appropriate factors given inTable 4. 4 Felling Trees other than spruce, grown in Northern Europe, shall be felled between1 November and the following31 March. They shall be sawn off as close to the ground as possible and no timber shall be removed, trimmed or cut from the

21、 butt end so as to reduce its natural size. The ends shall be sawn to give a flat section and branches shall be dressed down flush with the trunk. Bark shall be removed as soon as practicable after felling and the poles shall then either be stacked in open formation clear of the ground, or stored in

22、 water that is free from marine borer activity. 5 Sizes and permitted tolerances NOTEThis standard is applicable to all sizes of pole, however, it will generally be more economic to specify the preferred dressed sizes given in Table 1. 5.1 Measurement Many nominally round poles have a natural ellipt

23、ical cross section; the cross section measurements of such poles shall be of the minor axes. 5.2 Tolerance on length The tolerance on length shall be1% of the specified length. 6 Limiting characteristics NOTESome limiting characteristics may be eliminated by cross cutting and/or dressing to produce

24、an acceptable pole. 6.1 Straightness Sweep or crook shall be permitted to the extent that a straight line from the centre of the top to the centre of the pole1.5m from the butt remains within the pole. 6.2 Knots At any cross section along the length of a pole no knot with a diameter, measured at rig

25、ht angles to the length of the pole, greater than one-fifth of the circumference shall be permitted, and the sum of knot diameters at the cross section shall not exceed one-quarter of the circumference 2) . 6.3 Fissures Cracks across poles shall not be permitted. NOTESeasoning checks and shakes alon

26、g the grain are expected and are not recognized as defects. 6.4 Ring and star shakes The tip shall be free from ring or star shakes but one complete ring or one star shake is acceptable at the butt provided that no part extends to within 50mm from the periphery. 6.5 Slope of grain Spiral grain shall

27、 not exceed a slope of1in6. 6.6 Inbarks Inbarks shall be permitted with limitations on their length, width and depth. Maxima are given for each dimension, but when assessing inbarks, the maxima shall only be permitted for one measurement, with half the value given for the other two. a) Redwood or Sc

28、ots pine a (Pinus sylvestris) b) Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Dunkeld (hybrid) larch (Larix eurolepis) European larch (Larix decidua) European (Norway) spruce (Picea abies) Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) Sitka spruce (Picea sitchen

29、sis) Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) a Hereinafter referred to as redwood. 2) The limitations on knots are based on past practice and satisfactory performance. Suitable test results relating knot size to performance are not available.BS1990-1:1984 2 BSI 07-1999 The maximum dimensions of inbarks sh

30、all be as follows. 6.7 Insect holes Pinholes and boreholes shall be permitted, provided there is no active infestation and the strength of the pole is not affected by the degree of damage. 6.8 Decay Rot or punks shall not be permitted. 6.9 Abnormal defects Other defects, such as mechanical damage, s

31、hall be permitted provided that their effect on the structural strength of the pole is likely to be no greater than the effect of any other limiting characteristic. 6.10 Sapstain Blue stain in the sapwood of softwoods shall not be considered a defect. 7 Stacking and preparation of poles at depots Al

32、l poles other than spruce shall be stacked in open formation, before and after dressing, on suitable skids so that the lowest timber of each stack is at least250mm above the ground. Sufficient dunnage or cross timbers shall be used to distribute the total mass without imposing undue strain on the po

33、les at the lower layers. The surface of the seasoning ground under and around the stacks shall be well drained and kept free from bark, shavings, grass and weeds. All poles shall be machine dressed to remove the cambium layer before preservation. All drilling, notching and cutting of poles shall be

34、completed before preservation. 8 Moisture content Preservation of species other than spruce shall not take place until the average moisture content of each batch of poles is reduced to not more than 28%. No individual pole in the batch shall have a moisture content greater than30%. The moisture cont

35、ent of the poles shall be determined prior to treatment by the oven test method described inAppendix B or by the use of moisture meters. When using the latter, any measurements over25% shall be confirmed by the oven test method. Poles for preservation shall be protected against heavy and continuous

36、rain. NOTESeasoning is deemed to commence at the time of felling, and under average weather conditions light, medium and stout poles should be seasoned for at least6,9 and12months respectively, before preservation. 9 Preservation NOTELong life is a prerequisite for poles and preservative treatment i

37、s essential. It is recommended that poles complying with this standard have an average service life of40years. 9.1 General The following species shall be pressure impregnated with creosote in accordance with BS913or with a copper/chrome/arsenic mixture in accordance with BS4072. When pressure impreg

38、nating in accordance with BS913, the coal tar creosote used shall comply with type2of BS144and the average net retention of preservative in a charge shall be not less than115kg/m 3 . When pressure impregnating in accordance with BS4072, the copper/chromate/arsenic (CCA) mixture shall have a solution

39、 strength not less than3% m/V. NOTE 1When creosoting is carried out using the Rueping (empty cell) process the gross absorption, to obtain full sapwood penetration, is likely to be double the net retention. However, as the depth of sapwood varies from pole to pole and between species, this level of

40、gross absorption is included for guidance only. NOTE 2The average net retention figures given in BS913and BS4072are average values for a whole charge and do not apply to individual poles. Owing to natural variations in the permeability of wood it has to be accepted that the net retention of individu

41、al poles may cover a considerable range on either side of any average value specified for the charge. Initial, gross and net absorptions may also vary from that specified due to the variation in the depth of sapwood present and the species being treated. As the following species cannot be treated wi

42、th preservative in the normal way by the procedures described in BS913and BS4072, they shall be preserved using a suitable modification of one of the procedures described in those standards, to meet the requirements for full sapwood penetration and net retention.

44、 dressing, notching, pre-cutting and boring has been completed. NOTEFabricated poles ready for treatment are to be protected against heavy and continuous rain (seeclause8). 9.3 Extent of penetration of preservative When examined in accordance withAppendix C, all sapwood shall be completely penetrate

45、d with preservative. 10 Marking 10.1 General Each pole shall have a gouge or brand mark at least50mm long,5mm wide and 3mm deep placed3m from the butt and shall be marked with the information specified in10.2 and10.3 in characters not less than25mm high and gouged or branded5mm wide and3mm in depth.
