6 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 hooks and other lifting devices, different raw materials are used, depending on the use of the finished product. For hooks for example, depending on the specific use, the following raw materials can be applied: • alloy steel, quenched and tempered, which is comparable to grade 8 • alloy steel, quenched and tempered, which is comparable to grade 10 • stainless steel AISI316L or AISI316, which is comparable to grade 5 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. • 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 increase 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 the metric ton (t). Safety factor This factor gives the ratio between the Minimum Breaking Load and the Working Load Limit. For the standard range of Excel® hooks for example, the safety factor is 4:1, meaning that the hook may only break once it is overloaded by a factor of at least 4 (4 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 in this catalogue are self coloured or painted in a specific colour after production. Stainless steel products are polished. 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. Beyond the advised temperature range the WLL of a product may be affected.
