FEM 1.001 (10.1998), 3rd Edition, Rules for the design of hoisting appliances, 8 booklets, english, pages: 305, PDF Format

Detalhes

European harmonisation of internal market legislation through the so-called new and old approach directives applicable to the FEM industries (Machinery, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Pressure Equipment, Explosive Atmosphere …), and to a certain extent through environmental requirements (Noise Emissions for Outdoor Equipment, Emissions from Non-road Mobile Machinery…) has increased the need for standards and technical guidelines.

To ensure optimum safety and full compliance with legal requirements, FEM has made and continues to make an important contribution to the work of standardisation bodies CEN/ISO, by attending meetings and drafting recommendations on the technical issues and aspects of direct relevance to the FEM industries. Many of these recommendations form the backbone of established CEN/ISO standards. Others give guidance to engineers for design and construction of safe, durable and ergonomic handling equipment.

Editors Michael Kovacic and John Grzywacz
Hardcover: 265 pages
Publisher: American Society of Safety Engineers; Sixth edition (December 15, 2011)
Language: English

Order #4432

The sixth edition of An Illustrated Guide to Electrical Safety provides all the text and changes to 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S implemented by OSHA in 2007, including a new, easy-to-use, cross-reference to find new and renumbered sections. These changes have been documented and commented on to synchronize the requirements of OSHA to the 2011 National Electrical Code, as well as coordinating 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K requirements for construction. While OSHA did not revise the Safety-Related Work Practices section of Subpart S, the Illustrated Guide harmonizes the OSHA requirements with latest NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, 2012 Edition.

Over 130 illustrations are used to explain the revised OSHA requirements, and the updated analysis provides the reader with insights into how to implement OSHA requirements for a safer workplace, and even the history of some requirements. ISBN 978-1-885581-59-4.

Detalhes



With genuine Munsell color chips
 
The new 2009 revision of the Munsell Soil Color Charts is available. 

This new revision of the soil book contains all of the colors that have been available in the past plus these additional pages:

• Munsell high value, low chroma ‘White’ Page, used for describing carbonate,silica, gypsum, and soluble salt precipitates and evaporates common to arid and semi-arid environments and verylight-colored parent materials,such as diatomaceous earth and volcanic ash.The White Page shows half steps from 8.5 to 9.5 in value with chromas of 1 and 2 for N, 7.5YR , 10YR, and 2.5Y
• 10Y and 5GY Soil chart for glauconitic soils
• 5R soil chart forAustralia and Southeast Asia
• 7.5R soil chart for tropical and semi–tropical soils


About The Munsell Soil Color Chart

All of the soil color charts will be included with each 2009 new revision. With the introduction of the latest revision, X-Rite will no longer be selling individual pages of the Munsell Soil Color Charts. Based on customer needs, X-Rite has improved on the washable version of the Munsell Soil Color Charts through the use of new design and materials. Color chips are now flush with the paper of each page, eliminating the edges and extending the life of color chips because dirt and debris are easily wiped away. In addition, X-Rite has used water resistant materials to perform better in the field under damp or wet conditions.

Purpose

Description 

Published annually. Contains all current AATCC test methods plus AATCC research and administrative committee rosters and reports as well as monographs and evaluation procedures


Updated handbook includes key revisions plus several new methods


New Test Methods


200-2012, Drying Rate of Textiles at their Absorbent Capacity: Air Flow Method. This method determines the drying rate of textiles based on the evaporation rate that occurs at their approximate absorbent capacity.


201-2012, Drying Rate of Fabrics: Heated Plate Method. This method determines the drying rate of a fabric based on the evaporative rate that occurs when the fabric is placed in contact with a prescribed amount of water at the interface of a heated metal plate, held to a constant temperature.


202-2012, Relative Hand Value of Textiles: Instrumental Method. This method is for the determination of an instrumental relative hand value using the mechanical properties measured on a selected reference fabric and a comparable candidate fabric. This method does not intend to replace subjective evaluation of hand.


A New Monograph:


M10, Barré: Visual Assessment Descriptive Terms and Terminology. Test Method 178, Barré: Visual Assessment and Grading, has been withdrawn from the AATCC TECHNICAL MANUAL. A new monograph was developed in order to keep the descriptive terms and terminology for guidance.


Revisions:


TM 16-2004, Colorfastness to Light, as written, currently contains six options that can be used. Due to the number of options, users can become confused about which sections of the method apply to their desired option. The current method has been revised to streamline the procedure, and by splitting it into three new test methods, is designated as follows:


16.1-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Outdoor. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials outdoors under glass. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Option 6-Daylight Behind Glass. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method.


16.2-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Carbon-Arc. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials using an enclosed carbon-arc apparatus. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Options 1-Enclosed Carbon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, and 2-Enclosed Carbon-Arc Lamp, Alternate Light and Dark. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method.


16.3-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Xenon-Arc. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials using a xenon-arc apparatus. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Options 3-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Panel Option, 4-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Alternate Light and Dark, and 5-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Standard Option. Option 3, which is the most used option from current TM 16, will still be option 3 in this new method. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method. Also, the use of xenon reference fabric has been removed from the method.

AATCC Monograph M6, Standardization of Home Laundry Test Conditions, has been revised to include the addition of washing machine parameters for High Efficiency top load washing machines, updated washing machine parameters for top load and front load washing machines and updated washing temperatures used in all machines, and a description of a “key-dance” feature that will be available in some of the 2013 washing machines of all platforms for normal and delicate cycles. The “keydance” feature is a preprogrammed washing cycle that is accessed by using a specific combination of control panel buttons.
