1、BRITISH STANDARD AUTOMOBILE SERIES BS AU 3:1970 Specification for Clearance dimensions and fifth wheel positions for tractors and semi-trailers UDC 629.114.2.013.6BSAU3:1970 This British Standard, having been approved by the AutomobileIndustry StandardsCommittee, was published under the authorityoft

2、he Executive Boardof the Institution on 20March1970 BSI 09-1999 The following BSI reference relates to the work on this standard: Committee reference AUE/- ISBN 580 05967 7 Foreword This British Standard, prepared under the authority of the Automobile Industry Standards Committee of the BSI, was fir

3、st published in1963 and later revised in1968 to assist interchangeability of tractors and semi-trailers to the weights and dimensions permitted by the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations No.321:1969. The present revision incorporates additional data for articulated vehicles considered

4、necessary as a result of experience in the use of the standard. Trailer manufacturers will note that the application of this standard depends upon the knowledge of the dimensions of the towing vehicles. Users will note that the physical interchangeability between the towing vehicle and the semi-trai

5、ler does not itself ensure compatibility of load carrying, braking, lighting and overall length. It is important that the equipment be so designed that semi-trailers will couple easily and satisfactorily with the towing vehicle, and not slope forward when the fifth wheel is mounted in accordance wit

6、h the dimensions given in this standard. NOTEThe values specified in imperial units are to be regarded as the standard. The metric units are given as approximate equivalents. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are res

7、ponsible 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, pages 1 to 4 and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copy

It relates to towing vehicles with single rear axles not exceeding2.5metres width and to semi-trailers fitted with king pins complying with BSAU1 1) . 1.2 The standard applies to vehicles in normal road use and excludes vehicles used under

13、cross-country conditions. 2 Dimensions The basic dimensions shall be as given in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Table 1 and Table 2 give preferred dimensions for the tractors and semi-trailers as follows: NOTESubject to agreement between the user and the manuf

21、 working to the positions and heights shown in the tables there shall be no fouling between the rear of the towing vehicle and its mudguards and the adjacent parts of the semi-trailer at a fore and aft articulation of up to plus and minus8 from the designed static position when the combination is in

22、 a straight line. The clearance plane passing through point C (see Figure 2) at the back of the cab is a flat transverse plane sloping forward from point C at an angle of8 as shown and is intended to provide clearance for the8 fore and aft articulation requirement, and for semi-trailer clearance ove

23、r chassis equipment mounted at the back of the tractor cab. The cab profile shown in Figure 2 permits a maximum semi-trailer articulation of100 . The clearances of vehicles built to the dimensions in Table 2 are such that the flat back of cab may extend to the full legal width of2.5metres. 4 Heights

24、 The heights of the fifth wheel face from the ground, with the vehicle unladen and uncoupled, shall be as given in Table 3 when the fifth wheel is set at a minimum of6in (150 mm) and a maximum of27in(685mm) forward of the rear axle centre line. The heights of intermediate positions shall be determin

25、ed on a sloping line between the position6in (150mm) forward of the rear axle centre-line and the position27in (685mm) forward of the rear axle centre-line. NOTE 1These heights are based on the towing vehicle rear springs having a deflection of approximately3 in (75mm) laden to unladen. NOTE 2It is

26、emphasized that advantage should be taken of the height tolerances specified only in extreme cases where coupling could not be otherwise effected.
