Abstract

Specifies requirements for manufacture, marking and testing of swivels for hoists. It does not include dimensional requirements for size. Guidance on information to be supplied with enquiries and orders and on care and use is given in appendices.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for swivels for lifting applications. It does not include dimensional requirements for size.
NOTES:
1 Swivels used on rapid rotating equipment are not within the scope of this Standard.
2 Guidance on information that should be supplied with enquiries and orders is given in Appendix A.
3 A list of Standards for other components used in lifting systems is given in Appendix B.
