ASME B107.11:2002 pdf free download PLIERS: DIAGONAL CUTTING AND END CUTTING
5.9.2 Coating.All metal surfaces shall be coated toinhibit rust.Coatings shall be adherent, smooth,andcontinuous, and free from pits,blisters,nodules,andany other conditions that would interfere with their pro-tective value and serviceability.
5.10 Marking
Pliers shall be marked in a plain and permanent man-ner with the manufacturer’s name or with a trademarkof such known character that the source of manufactureand country of origin shall be readily determined. Mark-ing shall be as permanent as the normal life expectancyof the pliers to which it is applied (providing the markedsurface has not then been subjected to a fretting or abrad-ing action) and be capable of withstanding the cleaningnormally experienced during its intended use.
6TEST PROCEDURES
6.1Safety
WARNING:MANY TESTS REQUIRED HEREIN ARE INHER-ENTLY HAZARDOUS AND ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS FORPERSONNEL AND PROPERTY SHALL BE EMPLOYED INCONDUCTING SUCH TESTS.
6.2Cut Tests
Cut tests shall be performed per para.5.2 of ASMEB107.25M.Wire diameter and handle load are shown inTable 2 herein.
6.2.1 Steel Wire.Steel wire for cut tests shall beuncoated single-stranded having minimum tensilestrength of 180,000 psi (1 240 MPa) for Style A; 90,000 psi (620 MPa) for Style B; and 70,000 psi(400 MPa) forStyle C. Wire being cut may be loosely supported at thejaws by the operator in the manner ordinarily employed.6.2.2Steel Wire Cut Test for Types I, ll,and l. Threecuts shall be made at the joint end of the cutting edges,and the load required to completely sever the wire shallnot exceed the maximum handle load. Load shall beapplied at the point of maximum handle curvature(nor-mal gripping position).
6.2.3 Steel Wire cut Test for Type Y.A total of ninecuts shall be made. Three cuts shall made at the approxi-mate midpoint of the cutting edges, and the test loadrequired to completely sever the wire shall not exceedthe maximum handle load.Three cuts shall be made ateach end of the cutting edges with the wire located notmore than 0.13 in.(3.3 mm) from the respective ends.Load shall be applied at the point of maximum handlecurvature (normal gripping position). Load determina-tions shall not be required for cuts made at the ends ofthe cutting edges.
6.2.4 Paper Cut Test.Following wire cut test,thepaper cut test shall be performed per ASME B107.25M,para.5.2.2. The cutting edges shall completely andcleanly cut bond paper. Load shall be applied at thepoint of maximum handle curvature (normal grippingposition).
6.3 Hardness Test
Hardnesses specified herein shall be tested in accor-dance with ASME B107.25M, para.5.3. Handle hardnessdetermination shall be taken approximately midwaybetween the fastener and the end of each handle.
