Remar!
‘The units and numerical values given in { } in this standard
are in accordance with the International System of Units (SI),
and are appended for reference.
2. Classification
The tubular steel scaffolds shall be classified into tube and coupler scaf-
folding and prefabricated scaffolding.
(1) Tube and Coupler Scaffolding It means the location scaffolding where
steel pipes are assembled using clamps in a building site.
(2) Prefabricated Scaffolding It means the location scaffolding where
Vertical frames prefablicated using steelpipes as principal member and
other members are assembled in a building site.
3. Names of Respective Parts

scaffolding)
(10) ATOBUMI (Japanese) (Outer upright post for exterior main
scaffolding)
Remark: The accessory metals shall be divided as follows:

Hight angles.
(b) Adjustable Type Metal fittings used for intersecting tubes
at optional angles.
(3) Fixed Type Base Metal Fittings They are metal fittings trans-
Fitting the load Of upright post to ground by attaching them
to the lower end of upright post tube and so constructed as
to consist of tenon and baseplate.3

(By applying tensile load, the change amount of the distance between
the centers of rollers from a load of zero to that of 1000 kgf {9.81 kN}
for cross type clamp and the change amount of the distance between
the centers of rollers from a load of 50 kgf {0.49 KN} to that of
750 kgf (7.35 kN} for adjustable type clamp shall be measured when
the locking torque of clamp is made 350 kgf-cm (34.32 N-m} and
450 kgf-em (44.13 N-m)}.
(2) By making the locking torque of clamp 450 kgf {44.13 N-m}, tensile
load is loaded and the maximum value of load shall be measured.

under the condition where the centers of upper and lower base
beams align with the centers of the upper and lower press plates
of tester by using the upper and lower base beams, guide sleeve
and guide pipe, core metal, knife edge and knife edge receiving
seat as given in Fig. 21 according to the type of vertical frame,
then loaded with compressive load on the center line of vertical
frame and the maximum value of load shall be measured.25
