30、single wire component bent to form a frame. The distance between the ends of the frame is of sufficient dimension to allow a blade to be mounted between slots/blade retainers at each end of the wire frame which locate the pins of the blade. The tensioning of the blade is created by the elastic defor

31、mation of the frame on insertion of the blade. b) type B, with tensioning device This type of frame is a smaller version of a hand hacksaw frame which consists of separate handle and frame and where the tension can be provided by screw or cam action. NOTEType A and type B miniature hand hacksaw fram

32、es are shown in Figure 2. 4.2 Form, dimensions and tolerances 4.2.1 The frame shall accept a miniature hacksaw blade as specified in BS6271:1982. 4.2.2 Throat depth of the frame shall be50mm minimum and the blade shall be held within10 of the plane of the frame NOTEThe frame may also accommodate saw

33、ing wires (e.g.tension files and rodsaws). 4.3 Performance When tested in accordance with Appendix B the following criteria shall be met. a) The frame shall be capable of applying a minimum tension to the blade of200N. b) The frame shall not creep at a rate in excess of0.05mm per1000h when loaded to

When the frame is protected from corrosion by zinc plating, it shall meet the requirements of BS1706. 5.2 Painting Where paints are employed for protection p

35、urposes, the minimum thickness of coating shall be75m.BS7398:1991 BSI 11-1999 5 5.3 Elimination of defects The fully assembled hacksaw or miniature hacksaw frame shall be neatly finished and free from burrs, sharp edges and other defects detrimental to the user. 6 Marking Each frame shall be legibly

36、 marked with the manufacturers name or trademark and the number of this British Standard, i.e.BS7398 1) . NOTEIt is recommended that packaging used for the initial supply of hand hacksaw frames and miniature hand hacksaw frames should include safety notes based on Appendix D. 1) Marking BS7398 on or

37、 in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e.a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration

38、 is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS7398:1991 6 BSI 11-1999 Appendix A Performance tests for hand hacksaw frames A.1 Principle The performance of a frame is assessed by its ability to apply a minimum amount of tension to a blade, to reta

39、in that tension with time and to be capable of repeated tensioning operations. A.2 Description of apparatus The apparatus shown in Figure 3 may be used for conducting the tension performance test on adjustable and fixed hacksaw frames. NOTEThe letters used to denote positions and apparatus in this c

40、lause correspond to those in Figure 3. Positions C1 and C2 on the fixed bar allow the test to be adapted for250mm and300mm frame sizes. It is essential that the fixed and moving steel bar sections be of sufficient strength so as to avoid deformation when the maximum load is applied at position M. Th

41、e apparatus used in this test consists of a fixed steel bar, E, and a moving notched bar, D, of40mm 15mm section held together pivotally by a steel pin at point C2 or C1. The distance between the pivot point and A and the pivot point and Q is50mm. Further notches are at intervals of25mm to M. NOTETh

42、e letters used in this figure are explained inA.2. Figure 3 Test rig for hand hacksaw framesBS7398:1991 BSI 11-1999 7 The whole arrangement is supported within a rigid steel frame. A and B are the centre line positions of the blade location pins. The distance between A and B is adjusted by using piv

43、ot positions C1 or C2 to accept250mm or300mm size frames. By placing a weight between positions M and Q various loads can be applied to the frame. Each notched position represents a load factor. The factor is1 when the weight is placed at position Q and is increased by0.5 increments to a maximum of5

44、 when the weight is placed at position M. A.3 Test procedure A.3.1 Position the frame with the blade retaining pins secured at A and B under no load conditions. Adjust the tension mechanism of the frame to bring bar D into the horizontal position. Note the position of the tensioning mechanism (zero

45、position). A.3.2 Apply a load of450N (i.e.by applying a weight of9.179kg at position M). Adjust the tension mechanism to return bar D to the horizontal. Measure the lateral deflection of the frame. A.3.3 Check that the amount of further available movement of the tension mechanism for repeated tensio

46、ning to450N is4mm, i.e.the allowance for permanent creep deformation (see3.3.4). A.3.4 Release the load, reposition the tensioning mechanism to zero position and check that the frame has suffered no permanent deformation, i.e.the frame operates within its elastic limit (see3.3.2). A.3.5 For creep te

47、sting load the frame as described inA.3.2 and record movement against time. Check that the permanent deformation of the frame by creep does not exceed that given in3.3.5. Appendix B Performance tests for miniature hand hacksaw frames B.1 Principle The performance of a frame is assessed by its abilit

48、y to apply a minimum amount of tension to a blade and to retain that ability over a finite time period. B.2 Description of apparatus The apparatus shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5 may be used for conducting the performance tests on miniature hand hacksaw frames. B.3 Method B.3.1 Minimum tension Measure

49、 the frame length between the blade retainers with the frame without a blade fitted. Measure again with a blade fitted, and on the adjustable tension type at full tension. The difference between these two measurements is the maximum frame compression. Place an empty frame into the test rig (see Figure 4 and Figure 5), apply a small load,2kg, to remove slack then apply further loads until the frame is compressed to the maximum frame compression. The load required to achieve this compression shall be at least20kg. NOTEA load of20kg is equivalent to a
