Standards
This standard defines working positions and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation which are independent from surrounding construction.
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.
This standard specifies performance requirements for hollow load-bearing concrete masonry units made from Portland cement, water and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. It covers three weight classifications of the concrete masonry units: (a) normal weight; (b) medium weight; and (c) lightweight.
This standard specifies requirements for hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units made from portland cement, water and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. It covers three weight classifications of the concrete masonry units: (a) Normal weight; (b) Medium weight; and (c) Light weight. It also covers the sampling and testing of hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units for compressive strength, absorption, weight, moisture content and dimensions. It does not cover blocks intended solely for decorative purposes.
This standard applies to the storage and handling of portable containers used for storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) and to the transportation of these containers.
This standard does not cover the storage, handling and transport of ammonia cylinders.
