Greetings:
In the ASTM Standard for weldless chains (A466/A466M-01) it states that..."This test is a manufactuerer's attribute acceptance test and shall not be used as criteria for service."
What does that mean?
Is it advising against end-users applying the test to chains used in their products?
Does it mean that the manufacuturer of the chain must apply these tests prior to supplying the chain to the end-user?
Any elucidation is appreciated.
Thnx!
Dear voice_of_reason:
It sounds like:
1) the manufacturer must use this test, and 2) the test places no constraints on final use.David A. Smith

2) should read, the test provides no warranty that the chain will not fail at lower loads, i.e. you can't sue us, we have a disclaimer.PolyTech Forum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
