This Chapter applies to adjustable hardware, including turnbuckles, eyebolts, eye nuts, and swivel hoist rings.
SECTiON 26-2.1: TYPES AND MATERIALS
26-2.1.1 Types
(a) Turnbuckles, including open and pipe body types with hook, eye, or jaw end fittings (see Fig. 26-2.1.1-1).
(b) Eyebolts, including shoulder nut, nonshoulder nut, nonshoulder machiner> and shoulder machinery types (see Fig. 26-2.1.1-2).
(c) Eye nuts (see Fig. 26-2.1.1-3).
(d) Swivel hoist rings (see Fig. 26-2.1.1-4).
(e) Adjustable hardware other than those detailed in this chapter shall be used only in accordance with recommendations of the manufacturer or a qualified person.
26-2.1.2 Materials
The hardware, excluding bushings and hearings, shall have sufficient ductility to permanently deform before losing the ability to support the load at the temperatures at which the manufacturer has specified for use.
SECTION 26-2.2: DESIGN FACTOR
The design factor for adjustable hardware shall be a minimum of 5.
SECTiON 26-2.3: RATED LOADS
Rated load shall be in accordance with the recommendation of the hardware manufacturer. The terms “rated capacity” and “working load limit” are commonly used to describe rated load.
SECTiON 26-2.4: PROOF TEST
26-2.4.1 Proof Test Requirements
(a) New adjustable hardware is not required to be proof tested unless specified by the purchaser.
(b) All repairs to swivel hoist rings with bushings or bearings should be proof tested.
(c) If proof tested, adjustable hardware shall be inspected after the test for the conditions stated in para. 26-2.8.4.
26-2.4.2 Proof Load Requirements
The proof load shall be a minimum of 2 times the rated load.
SECTION 26-2.5: IDENTIFICATiON
26-2.5.1 Turnbuckle, EyeboLt, and Eye Nut Identification
Each tumbuckle, evebolt, and eye nut shall be marked to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) size or rated load
(C) grade for alloy eyebolts
26-2.5.2 Swivel Hoist Ring Identification
Each swivel hoist ring shall be marked to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) rated load
(c) torque value
26-2.5.3 Adjustable Hardware Identification
Adju4abIe hardware identification shall be provided by the manufacturer.
26-2.5.4 Maintenance of Identification
Tumbuckle, eyebolt, eye nut, and swivel hoist ring identification should be maintained by the user so as to be legible during the life of the hardware.
SECTION 26-2.6: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT
26-2.6.1 Temperature
(a) When adjustable hardware, excluding swivel hoist rings and carbon steel eyebolts. is to be used at temperatures above 400°F (204°C) or below —40°F (—40°C), the hardware manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted,
(b) When swivel hoist rings are to be used at temperatures above 400°F (204C) or below —20°F (-29°C), the hardware manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted,
(c) When carbon steel cyebolts are to be used at temperatures above 275°F (135°C) or below 30°F (—1°C). the hardware manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted.
