There is a stiffness requirement for base plates but there are no structural requirements for loose spigots. 6 Reference tube The reference tube used in testing shall meet the requirements for type RTsz specified in Table 7 of EN 74-1:2008. 7 General requirements 7.4 Materials Requirements for ferrous materials are given in EN 74-1; in addition, aluminium alloys may be used; EN 12811- 2 gives information on a number of frequently used materials. Base plates and loose spigois shall be protected against atmospheric corasion, in general in accordance with EN 12811-2 Electrolytical zinc coating C2 shall have an average thickness of 15 um 7.2. Design 7.2.4 General This standard does not spectfy any siructural requirements for loose spigots. 7.2.2 Base plate (BP) 7.2.21 Plain base plates Base plates consist of two elements, a plate and a centring device. They are for use as supports for tubes with an external diameter of 48,3 mm, 7.2.2.2 Geometrical requirements. Each base plate shall have a circular or polygonal base. The centring device shall have a minimum length of 50 mm. For a reference tube pleced on the base plate. the free movement of the tube in radal direction may ‘ot be more than 11 mm in any radial direction, whereby the nominal dimensions may be taken as the basis and the reference tube has @ diameter of 48,3 mm and a thickness of 2,7 mm (see Figure 3). The plate shall be at least doubly symmetrical and shall be circular or po'ygonal. The radius r of the inscribed circle shall be between 70 and 80 mm.EN 74-3:2007 (E) Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 reference tube Figure 3 — Maximum play between the reference tube and the centring device 7.22.3. Structural requirements The plate shall have sufficient stiffness and robusiness. Flat steel plates of minimum grade $235 with a minimum thickness of § mm and aluminium alloy plates with a proof stress of 195 N/mm? with a minimum thickness of 7 mm are deemed to satisfy this requirement FW 30 4 KN 16 10 KN/mm 15 5 fmm isplacement curve of a plate Other profiled plates shall have a force-displacement curve equal or better than given in Figure 4 when calculated or tested in accordance with the arrangement of Figure 5. When loaded until a load of P = 30 kN in accordance with Clause 8, no central deflection f shall exceed that in the force-displacement curve given in Figure 4. This applies to all samples tested. The plate shall be placed on a circular support. The force shall be applied centrally on the tube. The displacement of the tube may be taken as the required d'splacement. NOTE The arrangements provided in Figure § are only provided for comparison purposes.EN 74-3:2007 (E) 7.2.3 Loose spigot (LS) A loose spigot (see 3.2) shell have a central colar end end projections so that it can extend at least 75 mm into the tubes on both sides of the collar. A collar shall have a flat contact surface with the end of each tube. The outside diameter of collars shall be between 47,0 mm and 47,8 mm. The body sides shall be parallel and of outside diameter not greater than 37,5 mm and not less than 35,0 mm, with the exception of cruciform shaped loose spigo's which may have a maximum width of 38,7 mm. The collar and spigot axes shall be concentric with a tolerance of 1,0 mm. 7.2.4 Manufacturer's drawings In respect of each component design, the manufacturer shall make avzilable drawings containing sufficient information to enable identification and inspection to be carried out. These shall be kept available for this purpose. The following information shall be included a) dimensions and tolerances: 5) mass with tolerance: )_ material specification for each element: d) type of corrosion protection of each element 7.3 Production ‘An appropriate method of control during a production programme shall ensure that components conform to the requirements of this standard and that they comply with the manufacturer's drawings. 8 Test method and evaluation of results for a base plate 8.1 General 8.1.1 Atleast three tests shall be carried 8.1.2. The samples required for testing shall be randomly selected (see ISO 2859-10) from out of a batch of at least 500 fittings. 8.1.3 Test equipment shail nave an accuracy of 1 %. 8.2 Purpose of test The test establishes the force-displacement curve of a base plate. 8.3. Arrangement of test The plate shall be placed on a circular support. The force, P,, shall be applied centrally to the tube. The test arrangement is shown in Figure 5. The displacements may be measured from the movement of the reference tube.EN 74-3:2007 (E) Dimensions in millimetres Figure 5 — Test arrangement for a base plate 8.4 Test method Apply a preload P+ of 0,3 KN to establish the zero for displacement measurements. The base plate shall then be subjected to an increasing load P,, The test load P, shall be increased uniformly at a rate not exceeding 0,1 kN per second and the rate of displacement shall rot exceed 1,0 mm per minute. Increase the load until ether: the loac, Py, reaches 30 kN; or the displacement f (central deflection) reaches § mm. For defiition of symbols see clause 4. 8.5 Datato be recorded Force-cisplacement curves for P, and f shalll be plotted similar to Figure 4 The plotted force-displacement curves shall include at least one displacement measuring point for every 1,0 KN increase in load P, 8.6 Evaluation of test results Statistical evaluation is not required, 10EN 74-3:2007 (E) 9 Designation For each fitting, a designation shall be established as follows: Type of fiting: BP or LS Method of corrosion protection in accordance with 7.1 Example of designation: EN74.3BP C, The example shown is the designation of a base plate conforming to EN 74-3 with corrosion protection type Cp. 410 Marking ‘The marking shell be impressed or embossed on the fitting and shall be legible after the protective coating has been applied.
