6 Introduction General In case you do not use the products yourself but are reselling these as a part of a product manufactured by yourself, please take our general cautions and warnings into account and make these known to your customers as well. In any case, we do not accept any responsibility or liability, nor can we be held responsible for any misuse or damage with, by or at your customers due to negligent use. Definitions Material For the production of shackles and other lifting devices, different raw materials are used, depending on the use of the finished product. For shackles for example, depending on the specific use, the following raw materials can be applied: • mild steel, untreated, comparable to grade 3; • high tensile steel, untreated, or normalized, which is comparable to grade 4; • high tensile steel, quenched and tempered, which is comparable to grade 6; • alloy steel, quenched and tempered, which is comparable to grade 8. Load Following terms are used to define a load: • Working Load Limit or WLL: the maximum load the product is designed to support, in general use and in a straight pull. • Proof Load or PL: this is the load applied on proof testing the product. At this load the product may not show visual deformation. For further specific information as to the proof load applied, we refer to the separate paragraph on testing further on. • Minimum Breaking Load or MBL: the minimum load at which the product may fail or no longer support the load. Where applicable the details on the MBL are given specifically for each product range, at the beginning of each chapter. • Shock Load: a load resulting from a very rapid application of the load on the product. Shock loads are to be avoided in practice since these increases the stress on the product significantly and may affect its product life. The unit that is used in this catalogue to indicate WLL, PL and MBL is t, the metric ton. Safety factor This factor gives the ratio between the Minimum Breaking Load and the Working Load Limit. For the standard range of Green Pin ® shackles for example, the safety factor is 6:1, meaning that the shackle may only break once it is overloaded by a factor of at least 6 (6 times its designed Working Load Limit). Product dimensions All product dimensions in this catalogue are nominal dimensions. Product design, materials and/or specifications can be subject to alterations without prior notification. Finish Products can have following finish: • Self coloured: the product is delivered in the condition it has been forged or machined and has undergone no specific finish treatment. • Electro-galvanized: the product is electro-galvanized according to the customary standards, after the actual production of the product. The thickness of the coating is at least 5 µm. • Hot dipped galvanized: the product is hot dipped galvanized according to the customary standards, after the actual production of the product. The thickness of the coating is at least 70 µm. • Painted: the product is painted in a specific colour after the production. Standard These refer to the specific standards indicated for the product. Temperature range This indicates the temperature range at which the product can be used. Outside the temperature range the WLL of a product may be affected.
